A dewatering screen includes a frame upon which is mounted a deck having a plurality of apertures therein, the frame being mounted on a base and being provided with vibration generator for imparting vibration to the deck. A delivery means delivers wet particulate material to be dewatered onto the deck, and there is at least one dividing wall extending across a portion of the deck, the dividing wall(s) separating the deck into a material dewatering region and one or more water drainage regions. The delivery means delivers wet particulate material to be dewatered onto the material dewatering region.

A screen panel for a vibratory machine is disclosed. The screen panel can include a reinforcing structure having a top surface. The reinforcing structure can define a plurality of apertures through the reinforcing structure. A polymer layer can have a bottom surface that is arranged over the top surface of the reinforcing structure. The polymer layer can define a plurality of apertures therethrough. Each aperture of the plurality of apertures of the polymer layer can be aligned with a single respective aperture of the plurality of apertures of the reinforcing structure.

A shale shaker buffer and wear reduction barrier, placed between a shale shaker filter screen, shale shaker wear items and a shale shaker deck of a shale shaker for the prevention of vibratory and friction-induced wear that is reversibly adhered, placeable and replaceable to a shale shaker filter screen, shale shaker wear items and a shale shaker deck of a shale shaker basket to decrease wear on a shale shaker's functional components, singularly and in combination. The buffer and wear reduction barrier that is the present invention serves the additional function of a solids control barrier as an operable seal between a shale shaker filter screen, wear items and deck of a shale shaker to obviate entrance of solids into mud pits via wear induced areas of separation between shale shaker filter screen, wear items and a deck of a shale shaker.

A processing system for a slurry material. The system has a vibratory screen disposed atop an open-topped tank. A travel path for a vehicle is disposed directly above the screen and the tank. Slurry material dumped from the vehicle onto the screen is separated at the screen into a particulate-rich stream and a fluid-rich stream. The fluid-rich stream may be pumped to a cleaner so that it may be stored and re-used as drilling fluid.
