SIDE KICK SOLIDS SEPARATOR ABSTRACT A machine for removing oversize solids such as large rocks from other material carried by a conveyor. This separator has a wheel with external spokes which radiate outward from its circumference and which is mounted above the conveyor at an angle to the centerline thereof. Requiring no external power source, the device is actuated by the solids to be separated with the energy for separation being derived from their motion on the conveyor. When solids larger than the desired size come into contact with the spokes of the wheel, part of the momentum of these objects is converted to rotational motion of the wheel. As it rotates, it has a tendency to deflect them laterally across the conveyor belt until they are pushed off the side of the conveyor. The wheels can be used singularly or in combination. Their use in combination is most desirable for wide belts. The wheels can be located at varying loca- tions, angles, and heights above the belt. By experimental methods, the wheels are adjusted for optimum placement. The sizing of the wheels is predicated on the size of the solids being removed, the depth of the material on the belt, the width of the conveyor and its speed.
