Vibratory screening panel

A method for manufacturing a screen panel assembly for a vibratory screening machine, the method comprising:

• providing a plate including:
• first apertures at opposite first and second ends of the plate, the first apertures for receiving fingers for positioning the plate;
• and second apertures for passing liquids therethrough;
• providing a corrugated screen;
• bonding the corrugated screen on the plate, the corrugated screen assembly for screening any solids from the liquids, the corrugated screen assembly including opposite first and second ends lying flat against the plate;
• connecting a first end of a first hook assembly to the first end of the plate;
• spacing a middle portion of the first hook assembly above the first apertures at the first end of the plate;
• sandwiching the first end of the corrugated screen assembly between a second end of the first hook assembly and the first end of the plate;
• sandwiching the second end of the corrugated screen assembly between a second end of the second hook assembly and the second end of the plate;
• and
• connecting first ends of first and second gaskets to, respectively, the middle portion of the first and second hook assemblies.

A vibratory screening machine comprising:

• a feed box assembly;
• a shaker box assembly having opposite first and second sidewalls;
• at least one motion generator operatively connected to the shaker basket assembly;
• and
• a removable screen panel assembly comprising:
• a plate including:
• first apertures at opposite first and second ends of the plate, the first apertures for receiving fingers for positioning the plate within the shaker basket assembly;
• and second apertures for passing liquids therethrough;
• a corrugated screen assembly supported by the plate, the corrugated screen assembly for screening any solids from the liquids, the corrugated screen assembly including opposite first and second ends lying flat against the plate;
• a first hook assembly having a first end connected to the first end of the plate, a middle portion spaced above the first apertures at the first end of the plate, and a second end parallel to the plate, the second end of the first hook assembly and the first end of the plate sandwiching the first end of the corrugated screen assembly;
• a second hook assembly having a first end connected to the second end of the plate, a middle portion spaced above the first apertures at the second end of the plate, and a second end parallel to the plate, the second end of the second hook assembly and the second end of the plate sandwiching the second end of the corrugated screen assembly;
• and
• first and second gaskets each having opposite first and second ends, the first end of the first and second gaskets connected to, respectively, the middle portion of the first and second hook assemblies, the second ends of the first and second gaskets in contact with, respectively, the first and second side walls of the shaker basket assembly.
