ABSTRACT:
A skimming separator for scavenging liquid and solid floating matter from the face of a body of liquid, wherein traction surfaced contiguous cylinders counter-rotate to frictionally convey a contacting layer of liquid and proximate flotage matter thereon directly into a natural floating reservoir formed by the cylinders and the body of liquid below. Within the reservoir, conveyed solid flotage is selectively either entrapped by a guard screen, or, by adjustment of the screen, abraded by the traction surface into a floating liquified slurry for disposal along with the conveyed originally liquid flotage by pump means. In passing through the nip of the contiguous cylinders, the traction surface is regenerated for reuse in the subsequent recirculation cycle. The traction surfaced material ranges from soft cellular materials to very hard abrasive coated materials as commonly used for industrial grinding purposes, and includes granular grit of discrete magnetic particle material which is movably retained by a magnetized base material, whereby the magnetic grit traction surface can be quickly adjusted by the addition or removal of material to meet immediate need during changing conditions in the scavenging operation. A compactor is included to compress and reduce the bulk of solid floating material such as metal, glass, and plastic foam materials, sea-weed, kelp, lilly pads, and the like.
