ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for removing liquid from a slurry of solid particulate material and for consolidating the solid material into a shape-retaining slug is disclosed which comprises (a) a cylindrical consolidation chamber having a cylindrical piston movable axially therein, (b) a means for filling said chamber with the slurry, (c) a compression means for reciprocating said piston axially within said chamber and, (d) at least one drainage means for allowing liquid to escape from said chamber during consolidation of said slurry, and (e) at least one porous structure for retaining solid particulate material within said chamber and for allowing liquid to escape from said chamber during consolidation of said slurry. The porous structure includes (i) a circular sheet of elastic material having a plurality of holes therethrough, and (ii) two woven wire screens having the same plain weave and the same mesh size, wherein one of said screens is disposed adjacent to said sheet of elastic material, and wherein said screens are disposed relative to each other so that when compressive stress is applied to the slurry in said chamber, the two screens are forced together against said sheet of elastic material.
