Abstract
A disc assembly with a substantially rigid disc core includes a first section removably attached to a second section and mounted to a disc screen shaft. The disc core includes a transport surface extending between a left side of the disc core and a right side of the disc core, and a replaceable coating of textured wear material is deposited along the transport surface.
Claims17
A disc assembly, comprising:
- a substantially rigid disc core including a first section removably attached to a second section and configured to be mounted to a disc screen shaft, wherein the disc core comprises a textured transport surface extending between a left side of the disc core and a right side of the disc core;
- and
- a replaceable coating of wear material that is deposited only along an outer perimeter of the disc core and that penetrates into the textured transport surface, while leaving the left side and right side of the disc core uncoated.
A disc assembly, comprising:
- a first disc including a first transport surface located along an outer perimeter of the first disc and associated with a first diameter;
- a second disc having a second diameter and including a transport surface extending between a left side of the second disc and a right side of the second disc, wherein the second diameter is larger than the first diameter;
- and
- a replaceable coating of textured wear material that is deposited only along the outer perimeter of the second disc transport surface, while leaving the left side and right side of the second disc uncoated.

A method, comprising:
- attaching a first portion of a disc assembly to a second portion of a disc assembly in order to mount the disc assembly to a shaft, wherein the disc assembly comprises a coating of wear material applied to the disc assembly;
- separating materials transported over the disc assembly,
- detaching the disc assembly from the shaft in response to a thickness of the wear material being decreased during material separation;
- and
- reapplying the coating of wear material on the disc assembly in order to reuse the disc assembly,
- wherein the wear material is deposited only along an outer perimeter of the disc assembly, while leaving a left side and right side of the disc assembly uncoated.
