Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus for separating solids within a water carrier having different specific gravities. The apparatus includes an axial-flow pump with an impeller (). The apparatus includes a hollow tube () sized and positioned to discharge a fluid stream where the solids within the fluid stream have a specific gravity less than one. The hollow tube () includes an inward facing opening that makes an oblique angle along its entire circumference with respect to a longitudinal axis of the hollow tube (). This arrangement is especially useful in municipal and sanitary wastewater treatment applications for keeping lighter-than-water debris such as hair, food fiber, and synthetic fibrous materials from building up against the leading edge of the hollow tube () and clogging it.
