Apparatus for removing debris from a fluidized sand bed. One or more troughs extend radially from a vertical shaft. Associated with each trough is a perforated chute. The apparatus is placed into the fluidized bed of sand, and rotated. As the apparatus rotates, the perforated chute sifts, or separates, debris from the fluidized sand. That is, the fluidized sand flows through the perforations, but the debris does not. When the apparatus is removed from the fluidized bed, the debris tumbles down the chute, into the troughs, if it has not already done so, and is captured.

The invention claimed is: 1. Apparatus, comprising: a) a shaft; b) a first trough i) extending radially from the shaft, and ii) having an open top, and c) a perforated chute extending radially from the shaft and sharing a common edge with the first trough, where the chute is aligned so as to, duri
The invention claimed is: 1. Apparatus, comprising: a) a shaft; b) a first trough i) extending radially from the shaft, and ii) having an open top, and c) a perforated chute extending radially from the shaft and sharing a common edge with the first trough, where the chute is aligned so as to, during rotation of the shaft: i) catch debris which moves across the top of the first trough, and ii) deliver the debris to the first trough; and wherein the first trough is aligned so as to retain therein debris received from the chute. 2. Apparatus according to claim 1, and further comprising: a) a second trough extending radially from the shaft, but at a different axial position than the first trough; b) a second perforated chute extending radially from the shaft and sharing a common edge with the second trough, where the second chute is aligned so as to, during rotation of the shaft: i) catch debris which moves across the top of the second trough, and ii) deliver the debris to the second trough; and wherein the second trough is aligned so as to retain therein debris received from the second chute. 3. Apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the first and second troughs occupy different circumferential positions. 4. Apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the first chute extends between the first and second troughs. 5. Apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the second chute has a perforated bottom. 6. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein an axis is defined within the shaft, and the perforated chute is not coplanar with the axis. 7. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the perforated chute is effective to pass sand in a fluidized bed, when the apparatus is moved through said sand. 8. Apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first chute has a perforated bottom.
