ABSTRACT:
A concrete reclaimer includes a concrete processor having a rotating inclined screen and a pipe discharging water. Fresh concrete being disposed is poured into an open end of the rotating screen, and migrates toward the opposite open end. The concrete passes over a fine mesh and then a coarse mesh screen, washing out cement slurry when passing over the former, and removing sand when passing over the latter. Gravel is discharged from the remaining screen open end. Specially configured nozzles are arranged in a particular pattern along the pipe. Collection and storage pits are provided for the resultant segregated cement slurry, sand, and gravel. In a preferred embodiment, a concrete processor includes a five horsepower pump and a ten horsepower screen rotation motor. With the screen inclined at 8 degrees from the horizontal and rotating so as to move the screen past an arbitrary stationary reference point at 330 feet per minute and with water being fed at 178 gallons per minute at a pressure of 12 pounds per square inch, the concrete processor separates one cubic yard of concrete per minute.
