The screener drum is supported on the central drive shaft which has a support bearing on the input auger housing and the drum is further provided at the input end with two annular bearing plates which are attached to the end plate of the drum and have a close fit around the input auger housing for closure and support purposes. A single motive power source drives the drive assembly which operates both the input auger and the screener drum.
