A manure separator arrangement is described including a flume and chain conveyor arrangement by which initially received slurry of liquids and solids is directed over a perforated flume floor. Liquid is allowed to drain through perforations in the floor as the slurry is moved along a pair of troughs formed along the flume. The entire flume is inclined so the liquids received from the perforated flume floor will drain downwardly away from the solids being carried along by the drag conveyor. Solids leaving a discharge end of the flume may lose approximately 80% of the liquid previously contained in the slurry or mixture. The manure discharged from the flume may be received by a separator press roll mechanism by which remaining moisture can be separated. The separator includes a rotated perforated drum and an oppositely rotated press roll. The press roll is yieldably urged against the rotating surface of the drum and is simultaneously rotated to press or squeeze liquid from the solids.

A manure separator, comprising: an elongated flume, inclined longitudinally between an upper end and a lower end and including a longitudinal descending infeed trough and a substantially parallel ascending discharge trough, the descending infeed trough extending downwardly from the upper end of the flume toward the lower end; the ascending trough being openly joined to the descending infeed trough adjacent the flume lower end and extending upwardly to a discharge means at the flume upper end; a perforated flume floor extending along the descending infeed trough and the ascending discharge trough to permit drainage of liquids from the descending and ascending troughs and to retain manure solids thereon; paddle means movable in an endless circuit over the perforated flume floor including the descending infeed trough and the ascending discharge trough, for progressively moving manure solids and liquids downwardly along the descending infeed trough and upwardly along the ascending discharge trough such that said manure liquids and solids are separated by tumbling action along the perforated flume floor, and such that the manure solids remain on the perforated flume floor; collector means below the flume floor for receiving liquids drained through the perforated flume floor; and a liquid discharge means at the lower flume end, openly connected to the collector means for receiving and discharging liquids received through the collector means.
