  • System and method for fabricating screen panel assemblies for vibratory separators
    Patent number: 10166574
    Abstract: A method is disclosed that includes fabricating a screen panel support frame having a curved non-planar shape, wherein the curved non-planar shape has a first amount of post-fabrication curvature. The method further includes performing a screen panel unitization process to unitize the screen panel support frame having the first post-fabrication amount of curvature with at least a plurality of layers of screening material, the screen panel unitization process reducing the curvature of the screen panel support frame from the first post-fabrication amount of curvature to a second post-unitization amount of curvature that is less than the first post-fabrication amount.
