    Abstract: A disc screen separator device for separating or classifying materials. The disc screen separator device includes a plurality of parallel, spaced apart corotating shafts each having a plurality of spaced apart separator discs mounted thereon for rotation therewith. The separator discs on adjacent shafts are interspaced. A plurality of spacers are located between adjacent separator discs on each shaft to maintain the spacing between adjacent separator discs on each shaft. Both the separator discs and spacer discs are fabricated of a resilient material.In an alternative embodiment, a disc screen separator device includes a plurality of sets of first shafts, the shafts of the sets of first shafts being parallel, spaced apart, and corotating with a plurality of spaced apart separator discs mounted on the first shafts for rotation therewith. A second shaft is located in the interval between sets of first shafts with a plurality of agitator discs mounted on the second shafts for rotation therewith.
