Abstract
A device for removing floating and suspended debris from a liquid flow passed through a liquid flow flume (3) is disclosed, the device including a separator (9) positioned within the liquid flow flume at an angle with respect to the flume and extending across the path of the liquid stream for collecting floating and suspended debris thereon. An elongated conveyor assembly (10) having an elongated tubular housing (20) with a first conveyor portion (11) and a second conveyor portion (12) is also provided as a part of the device. The first conveyor portion of the conveyor assembly is positioned within the separator and extends therefrom, the first portion of the conveyor assembly, as well as the conveyor assembly, being independently supported with respect to, and without being formed as a part of, the separator. An intake chute (18) is defined in the first conveyor portion, and is positioned generally below, and is generally aligned with, a separation device (24) positioned within the separator for loosening debris collected on the separator and directing the debris toward the intake chute. The second conveyor portion has a discharge chute (22) formed at its end opposite the end thereof connected to the first conveyor portion. Debris is collected on the separator from liquid passed therethrough, directed toward and into the intake chute by the separation device, and then moved out of the separator and discharged outside of the flume by the conveyor assembly.
