CA 2648456

An apparatus and method for separating animal waste from litter are provided. In one form, the apparatus includes a drum that contains litter and a helical rake that is rotatable in the drum. The rake can rotate relative to the drum to reduce power requirements for the rotary rake drive. Preferably, the drum is also rotatable by turning of the rake in the drum, but only for a limited, fixed angular distance which also reduces peak power requirements for the rotary drive motor for the rake.

La présente invention concerne un appareil et un procédé destinés à séparer des déchets d'origine animale d'une litière. Dans une forme, l'appareil comprend un tambour qui contient la litière et une raclette hélicoïdale qui tourne dans le tambour. La raclette peut tourner par rapport au tambour pour réduire l'énergie requise par l'entraînement en rotation. De préférence, le tambour peut également tourner avec la rotation de la raclette, mais uniquement sur une distance à angle fixe limitée qui réduit aussi l'énergie maximale requise par le moteur d'entraînement en rotation de la raclette.
