ABSTRACT:
A paint waste separator-collector apparatus having a separator tank for receiving water containing paint waste and for causing the contained paint waste to separate and float, a weir for causing the floating paint waste together with overflowing water from the separator tank into a collector container and a water level adjusting mechanism for switchably providing a paint waste accumulating condition in which a water level in the separator tank is lowered for the water not to flow over the weir thereby causing the floating paint waste to accumulate inside the separator tank and a paint waste collecting condition in which the water level in the separator tank is raised for the excess water to flow over the weir into the collector container. The water level adjusting mechanism includes an overflowing water tank communicating with a lower portion of the separator tank for regulating by means of the overflowing water the water level at the separator tank to be a predetermined low water level for providing the paint waste accumulating condition and a water level raising device for increasing an amount of water entering the separator tank relative to an amount of the overflowing water from the overflowing water tank so as to raise the water level at the separator tank from the predetermined low water level for providing the paint waste collecting condition.
