Example embodiments relate to a separator system comprising a compartment body defining an interior cavity, the interior cavity formed by interior walls of the compartment body. The separator system may further comprise an input section operable to receive an input mixture for housing in the interior cavity. The separator system may further comprise an output section. The separator system may further comprise a particulate-directing subsystem. The particulate-directing subsystem may comprise a disturbance assembly arranged along at least a bottom portion of the interior cavity. The disturbance assembly may comprise at least one rotary member operable to rotate in a first rotary direction and a second rotary direction. The particulate-directing subsystem may further comprise a discharge assembly arranged proximate to the output section. The discharge assembly may be configured so as to encourage particulates of the input mixture present in the interior cavity to pass through the output section.
