The outer face of a plurality of mutually spaced annular bar holders, which are arranged perpendicular to the cylinder axis, are provided with recesses that are open at the edges. The recesses have a shape that substantially corresponds to the base of profiled bars in a complimentary manner. The recesses are marginally larger than the bases. The profiled bars are inserted into respective recesses, parallel to one another and parallel to cylinder axis.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a screen basket apparatus includes a substantially vertical cylindrical frame and a synthetic screening surface secured to the frame. The synthetic screening surface may be configured to separate carbon or resin from a slurry of a carbon-in-leach, carbon-in-pulp, resin-in-leach, or resin-in-pulp material as fluid flows from outside to inside the screen basket apparatus such that carbon or resin is retained on an external surface of the synthetic screening surface. The cylindrical frame may be a grid frame and the synthetic screening surface may include a plurality of replaceable screen assemblies attached to the grid frame. The grid frame may include a plurality of openings and each of the plurality of openings is configured to receive a respective one of the plurality of replaceable screen assemblies. The synthetic screening surface may include injected molded thermoplastics, thermoset polyurethanes, and/or other polymeric materials.

A support structure for vibrating screening machine with either a flat screen deck or a crowned screen deck which use a coped and then capped variation of the same prefabricated rectangular tubular cross-member but in rotated orientations. The machine further providing support for a crowned screen media without using a crowned cross-member by providing stringers with differing vertical heights with the centermost stringer having the most height above a flat top cross-member. A plurality of crown straps coupled to a top surface of a cross-member, where the crown straps have a C-shaped portion at one end which has a portion thereof coupled to a top surface of a cross-member.

Panel member assembly (10, 11, 60, 80, 100, 130) for use as a screening panel in a vibratory screening machine for treatment of mining materials either as an impact panel member or as a sieving panel member. The assembly has an engagement face (12, 105) for engagement during use with treatment material. The assembly also has a support structure (23, 102, 131) with a first side (26) directed towards the engagement face. The first side defines a plurality of spaced receiving zones (29, 129, 138) each being configured to locate an individual hard wear resistant insert (21, 101, 136, 137). The assembly also has a plurality of the inserts respectively located in a receiving zone with part of the inserts extending towards the engagement face. The support structure and located inserts are retained in a moulded cover material (24).

A screen assembly for vibratory separation includes a screen having a plurality of raised screen components formed therein, with each of the raised screen components defining a face oriented to oppose a flow direction of the screen assembly. In examples, a screen of the screen assembly is assembled from a plurality of metal cloth layers bonded together. Bonding of the metal cloth layers may be accomplished by a sintering process.

The invention provides novel slot tube screen material for filtering applications, in particular for separating solid particles from liquids. The slot tube filter screens manufactured according to the invention feature very small slot openings, which are narrowed with respect to a slot opening dimension of conventionally fabricated slot filter tubes. The slot tube construction of the invention comprises a torsion-rotation deformed structure of normally axially orientated parallel support members of the slot tube mantle, which further comprises spiral windings of profile wire around said support members, whereby at each contact crossing a solid weld connection fixes a crossing profile wire to a support member. The plastically twisted slot tube structure displays a helical distortion of the axial support ribs inside the slot tube. As a consequence the filter slot openings between adjoining windings of profile wire are markedly narrowed (versus undeformed slot tube), which offers the possibility of reliably achieving very small filter slot openings of less than 0.020 mm in slot tube filters or screens.
