  • Patent number: 9776214
    Abstract: A multi-deck screening assembly includes a plurality of vertically-stacked downwardly-sloping screen decks, each with grading apertures through which under-sized material may pass, while over-sized material passes over a lower discharge end of each screen deck. The screen decks are mounted on a common frame, which is mounted on a chassis and provided with vibration device. The screen decks include an upper deck, an intermediate deck below for receiving under-sized material from the upper deck, and a lower deck below the intermediate deck for receiving under-sized material from the intermediate screen deck. A first chassis-mounted stockpile conveyor receives over-sized material from the lower deck, a second chassis-mounted stockpile conveyor receives over-sized material from the intermediate deck, and a third stockpile conveyor receives over-sized material from the upper deck.

  • Patent number: 9764330
    Abstract: A screening apparatus for grading particulate material includes a grading screen having apertures for water and/or undersize particles to pass through. The grading screen is supported on a frame mounted on a chassis via resilient linkages, and the grading screen being vibrated by a vibrating device that imparts circular or reciprocating motion to the grading screen. The grading screen is set at a predetermined slope whereby material to be graded can be delivered onto an upper end while the grading screen is vibrated to convey the material over the grading screen and to cause undersize material to pass through the apertures. Oversize material is discharged from a lower end of the screen onto a conveyor or into a collection bay or hopper. A sump beneath the grading screen receives under-sized material passing through the grading screen, and a jet pump conveys material from the sump to a dewatering screen.
