Abstract: A vibrating screen assembly having a tubular frame. The tubular frame includes a pair of opposed tubular sides and a pair of opposed tubular ends. An upstanding lip extending from each side and extending from each end forms a rim enclosure. A ledge extends inwardly from the opposed sides. A perforated plate with a plurality of screen cloths thereon is positioned within the rim enclosure and secured to a planar surface of the frame. A slot in the tubular sides and tubular ends forms a continuous channel and an elastomeric gasket is press fit into the slot and held therein without adhesives or fasteners.

Abstract: An integrated gasket and screen frame for a screen assembly for use with a vibrating shaker. The screen assembly includes a tubular frame having a top side and an under side. At least one screen cloth is affixed to the top side of the frame. A slot in the tubular frame has a width. An elastomeric gasket has at least a portion wider than the width of the slot so that the gasket may be press fit and mechanically locked into the slot and held therein.

Abstract: An improved wire cloth material and process to enhance wire cloth dimensional stability, reduce and slow abrasive, deterioration, decrease brittleness and reduce residual stress attendant to the manufacturing and weaving process. In a preferred embodiment, the wire cloth is subjected to a liquid cryogenic material for a determinable period of time which is sufficient to increase molecular bonding energy and achieve a structural balance by effecting the transformation of austenite to denser more refined martensite. The wire cloth is then withdrawn from the cryogenic material and allowed to warm gradually at a rate of controlled temperature change. To reduce brittleness of the martensitic structure following the warming phase, the wire cloth may be optionally introduced to a subsequent heat application phase in two or more passes and allowed to again gradually return to ambient atmospheric temperature.

Abstract: A vibrating screen assembly of dissimilar materials. A frame is composed of a first material having a coefficient of thermal expansion. At least one screen cloth is composed of a second material. A ratio of the coefficient of thermal expansion first material to the coefficient of thermal expansion of the second material is greater than one.

Abstract: A screen assembly for a vibrating shaker having a crowned deck for receiving at least one screen assembly thereon and a plurality of attachment members. The screen assembly includes a rigid frame having a pair of parallel, opposed sides and a pair of parallel, opposed ends. An underside of the frame is radiused to match the crowned deck of the shaker. A top planar side of the rigid frame is opposed to the underside of the frame. At least one screen cloth layer is fixed to the planar top side of the frame for separating solid materials from liquids and fine solid particles.
