Abstract: A vibrating screen assembly having a frame with a pair of opposed sides and a pair of opposed ends. The frame includes a planar surface and an upstanding lip extending vertically from the planar surface to form a rim enclosure. A leg extends downward vertically from the planar surface in a direction away from said lip. A ledge extends perpendicularly from the downward leg. A plurality of tubular cross supports rest on the ledge and are connected to the leg. A perforated plate with a plurality of screen cloths thereon is positioned within the rim enclosure and secured to the planar surface of the frame.

Abstract: A woven wire screen cloth having a plurality of parallel warp filaments intersected by a plurality of parallel shute filaments configured to enhance both conductance and screen life. A greater number of warp filaments are provided than shute filaments per given area. A plurality of rectangular openings are formed from the warp and shute filaments with each rectangular opening having a length and width. The length to width ratio of the rectangular openings is between approximately 2.7 to 2.8. The length of the rectangular openings to the diameter of the shute filaments is a ratio of between approximately 5.5 to 5.7. The screen cloth is calendared to assist in locking the intersections of the warp and shute filaments in place.
