An apparatus for processing oil sand to produce a liquid stream comprising water and bitumen and a solid stream comprising solid particles. The apparatus includes a drum having first and second ends, a conditioning zone adjacent the first end, a compressing zone adjacent the second end and a processing zone therebetween. A rotatable spiral trough, having lifting members therein, extends through each zone for imparting a spiral rolling motion to the oil sand. An oil sand inlet communicates with the conditioning zone, while a water inlet communicates with the processing zone. A liquid stream outlet is located at the first end of the drum, while a solid stream outlet is located adjacent the second end. Preferably, the height of the spiral trough through at least a portion of the compressing zone is greater than the height of the spiral trough through both the processing zone and the conditioning zone.
