A rotary sorting apparatus comprises a large-diameter rotary drum for sorting a mixture of materials received through a first end of the drum and expelled through a second end. A plurality of slew rings are attached circumferentially to the outer surface of the drum for supporting and rotating the drum. Each slew ring comprises an inner race placed concentrically within an outer race, with bearings between them allowing the inner race to rotate freely within the outer race. The inner surface of the inner race is attached to the outer surface of the drum and rotates with the drum, while the outer surface of the outer race is fixed to the supporting structure. A rotator, such as a wheel, in contact with the outer surface of the drum causes the drum to rotate about its longitudinal axis.

A disc for use in a disc screen is disclosed that creates an “intended space”—i.e., the designed space through which material is intended to pass—that undulates in both directions in the plane defined by the screen's rotatable shafts. The disc design includes a major axis that is rotated along the length of the shaft, creating a helical ridge. The ridge is continuous and non-stepwise, thereby avoiding the “pinch” of the prior art designs. And by having the helical ridge of adjacent discs on the same shaft with opposing rotations, the lateral movement of material may alternate along the length of the shaft—further spreading the material throughout the width of the disc screen and increasing the screen's efficiency.
