ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are provided for the liquid separation of materials, and particularly for the separation of edible portions of a material from unedible portions, by utilizing the specific gravity differential between such materials. The materials are thrust into a receptacle which contains a solution of a predetermined density, and are separated into their constituents by subjecting same to an issuing stream of solution produced by jet manifolds. This issuing stream operates with the solution to cause separation of the lighter constituents which float to the upper portion of the receptacle from the heavier constituents which tend to sink in the solution. At least two conveyor belts are provided each being within the solution; the first of which is disposed within the receptacle to receive the lighter constituents and a second disposed below the first to receive the heavier constituents. Both conveyors discharge the respective constituent materials.
