Abstract

A screen panel assembly includes a screen panel and a raised screen component disposed thereon. The raised screen component includes an inclined screen surface that defines a first plane oriented at a first angle relative to the screen panel and a wedge surface positioned at a back side of the raised screen component. The inclined screen surface has a front edge that is aligned with a top surface of the screen panel and is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the screen panel, the first plane being substantially perpendicular to a displacement vector along which the screen panel assembly is accelerated by a vibratory separation device. The wedge surface is adapted to disrupt a flow path of a flow of a material mixture flowing in a longitudinal direction across the screen panel by redirecting the flow around opposing sides of the raised screen component.

Dependent claims

A screen panel assembly, comprising:

a screen panel;
and
a raised screen component disposed on said screen panel, said raised screen component comprising:
an inclined screen surface that defines a first plane that is oriented at a first angle relative to said screen panel, said inclined screen surface having a front edge that is aligned with a top surface of said screen panel and is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said screen panel, wherein said first plane is substantially perpendicular to a displacement vector along which said screen panel assembly is accelerated by a vibratory separation device;
and
a wedge surface that is positioned at a back side of said raised screen component, wherein said wedge surface is adapted to disrupt a flow path of a flow of a material mixture flowing in a longitudinal direction across said screen panel by redirecting said flow around opposing sides of said raised screen component.

3 more elements

A screen panel assembly, comprising:

a plurality of screen panels;
and
a plurality of raised screen components disposed on each of said plurality of screen panels, each of said plurality of raised screen components comprising:
an inclined screen surface having a front edge that is aligned with a top surface of a respective one of said plurality of screen panels and a plurality of second edges that extends upward from said top surface of said respective screen panel, said front edge being substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said respective screen panel, wherein said inclined screen surface defines a first plane that is oriented at a first angle relative to said respective screen panel and is substantially perpendicular to a displacement vector along which said screen panel assembly is accelerated by a vibratory separation device;
and
a wedge surface that is positioned at a back side of said raised screen component, wherein said wedge surface is adapted to disrupt a flow path of a flow of a material mixture flowing in a longitudinal direction across said respective screen panel by redirecting said flow around opposing sides of said raised screen component.
