摘要

Improvements in an apparatus for the separation of solid bodies from liquids of lower specific weight, particularly for the separation of sand from water, characterized in that they comprise a circular (1) bucket, rotatable with a very slow rotation movement around a inclined shaft and which is fed in correspondence of its highest part, the mixture of water and sand, so the water overflows the edge of the bucket that is at lower level, while the sand is evacuated through a central opening due to the relative movement of the tray with respect to a scraper member (19).
