Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for detecting wear in a screening arrangement is disclosed. The system, method, and apparatus can include a sensor that is configured to provide a notification signal when a surface of a screen panel has worn to a threshold level. The threshold level can be based at least in part on the amount of wear that requires replacement of a screen panel to prevent breakthrough or contamination. The notification signal provided by the sensor can be used to identify which screen panel or region of screen panels has been worn to the threshold level so that the screen panels can be replaced in a timely manner. The sensor may be coupled to a conductor embedded in one of the screen panels that is altered when a screen panel has worn to a threshold level, triggering the sensor to provide the notification signal.

Abstract: A screening panel is provided for screening particulate materials. The screening panel includes a peripheral frame and a plurality of ribs. The peripheral frame has an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer peripheral surface interconnecting the upper surface and lower surface. Further, the peripheral frame defines an opening. The ribs extend across the opening and define a screening surface. Each of the plurality of ribs has a substantially flat upper surface. The screening panel further includes at least one generally arcuate raised member extending from the upper surface of each of the plurality of ribs. The raised members facilitate screening the particulate materials.

Abstract: A screening arrangement support frame component in which a pair of complementary elongate component members have body portions and cavity defining formations. The component members are secured side by side to one another such that the body portions abut and the cavity defining formations register to form a plurality of cavities for receiving socket elements. A plurality of socket elements, each defining a socket for receiving a protrusion that secures a screening panel to the component, the socket elements being mounted in the cavities when the component members are secured to one another. The thickness of each support frame component at the locations where the body portions abut is smaller than the cross-sectional dimension of the socket elements mounted in the cavities.

Abstract: A screen support frame component is provided. The screen support frame component supports modular screening panels which are of a hard wearing synthetic plastics material such as polyurethane and are removably secured to the screen support frame component. Each of the screen support frame components includes a base which is elongate plate having a planar surface. A plurality of lugs are longitudinally spaced along the length of the base and project laterally on both sides of the base so that the planar surface of the base extends onto the laterally projecting lugs. A plurality of tubular spacer elements are provided on the base and on the lugs to project upwardly from the planar surface. Each tubular spacer element has a tubular side wall and one open axial end. It further has an annular shoulder inwardly of the open end, and a sloping face flaring outwardly towards the open end. The annular shoulder constitutes a securing formation for securing the screening panels to the screen support frame.
