Abstract
A fluid reclamation system is provided for separating large debris particles from a polluted fluid. The reclamation system includes a separation device with an endless screen installed onto driven cylinders. A basin is mounted within the screen for collecting the fluid after it passes through a top surface of the screen. A disposal mechanism discards large debris particles from the screen and discharges the large debris particles into a storage barrel.
