Polymer Reinforced Screening Panel

A screen panel for a vibratory machine, the screen panel comprising:

• a reinforcing structure having a top surface and a reinforcement aperture defined therethrough, the reinforcement aperture defining a reinforcement aperture width;
• and
• a polymer layer comprising a resilient material and having a bottom surface that is arranged over the top surface of the reinforcing structure, wherein the polymer layer has a panel aperture defined therethrough, the panel aperture defining an aperture entry width, and wherein the polymer layer further defines an overhang portion that extends at least partially beyond an edge of the reinforcing structure such that the aperture entry width is less than the reinforcement aperture width.
