Abstract: A novel separator housed within a shell for the separations of solid and liquid components from a slurry. The separator has two stages, a first static screen and rotating brush assembly section and a second stage, with a screen and a roller press and brush assembly. The slurry is pumped into the separator through a weir box. The slurry flows into the first stage and most of the liquid component flows into a sump located below the two stages. The solid component is then directed into the second stage where the rollers squeeze remaining liquids from the solid component. The brushes then direct the remaining solid component of the slurry into a solids discharge area.

Abstract: A milking and sorting system comprises at least one parlor including a floor, a plurality of stalls juxtaposed along the floor, an animal entrance mechanism to each stall and an animal exit mechanism disposed along an exit side of the parlor. One parlor end has an animal ingress entry opening and the other parlor end has a distal end barrier. Gutter and kicker structures laterally spaced from the parlor exit side define one side of an animal passageway from the animal ingress entry end to the distal parlor end barrier. Wall partitions secured to vertically disposed posts fixed to the floor at the parlor exit side define a plurality of stalls. The fixed wall partitions have free ends laterally spaced inwardly from the gutter and kicker structure to define the other side of the animal passageway. Animal exit gate members pivotally swing outwardly from the parlor exit side between closed and opened position.
