Abstract: A portable machine for separating liquid from a slurry comprising an interconnected pair of beams cantilevered above the base with a plurality of rollers rotatably mounted between them. An endless belt is carried on and driven by the rollers to move upward from a slurry hopper, over a source of liquid-drawing vacuum, and back down under the hopper and collector tank. The belt and rollers are scraped and washed on the return run and, because of the cantilevered configuration, the belt is easily removed by sliding it off the rolls from one side of the machine.
