The basket is concentric with the work chamber bowl and is fitted around and supported by the upturn center portion of the bottom of the bowl. The separator basket comprises a circular frame and a replaceable screen of desired mesh size. This screen is in the shape of a flat ring placed on the frame to form a separating bed of substantially horizontal orientation when in use. The bed of the separator is positioned below the turnpoint of the material flow inside the work chamber.
