Shale shakers and screens with identification apparatuses

A method for sensing an energizable identification apparatus of a screen assembly, the screen assembly for use in a vibratory separator and comprising a support mountable on a vibratory separator, the support comprising a body,

• the body having an exterior surface and two spaced-apart ends,
• wave energizable identification apparatus on the exterior surface of the body, the wave energizable identification apparatus wrapped in fabric material, the fabric material comprising heat-resistant non-conducting material, and
• the wave energizable identification apparatus wrapped and positioned on the body so that the wave energizable identification apparatus does not contact the body
• screening material on the support, the screening material having a top and a bottom, fluid with solids therein for treatment introducible to the vibratory separator onto the top of the screening material so that fluid from the fluid with solids therein is flowable down through the screening material, and
• the wave energizable identification apparatus for identifying the screen apparatus,
• the method including
• wave energizing the energizable identification apparatus by directing energizing energy thereto,
• the wave energizable identification apparatus upon being energized producing a signal,
• positioning the screen assembly adjacent sensing apparatus, and
• sensing with the sensing apparatus the signal produced by the wave energizable identification apparatus.
