Abstract:
A screen assembly is disclosed for use with vibratory separators. The screen assembly includes a structural frame mounted to a vibratory separator into which a plurality of lightweight and flexible screen elements are inserted into multiple rows of perforated troughs which have geometric shapes. The perforated troughs are bonded to each other and to the structural frame. The perforated troughs are aligned parallel to the direction in which solids are conveyed by a vibratory motion.
