The Krause Manufacturing Rocket™ automatically separates the large quantities of rock and wood typically found in C&D debris.
Materials are introduced into a horizontal drum, which is partially filled with water and rotated by a hydraulic drive system. The rotating cylinder sends the high-density material onto a paddle system, which moves it above the waterline and expels it out of the drum. High velocity jets positioned within the drum, and facing the infeed end, shoot water creating a river that washes the wood and other floating debris back out the in-feed end of the drum. A water reclamation system collects and stores the water for reuse, limiting the need for disposal and decreasing costs.
