Abstract
Slimy liquids, such as slimy manure, are passed through a press screw separator to separate the solids. Vibrations are introduced into the slimy liquid for reducing its viscosity to enable the liquid to more readily gravitate through a screen basket of the separator.

- 4. A press screw separator for the separation of solids from slimy liquids, said separator including a housing having inlet means for receiving slimy liquid, a cylindrical screen basket disposed downstream of said inlet means for the gravity separation of liquid, a motor-driven screw for feeding the slimy liquid into said screen basket, and vibration means for introducing vibrations into the slimy liquid downstream of said inlet means for reducing the viscosity of the slimy liquid to promote a gravity discharge of the liquid through said screen basket.
