Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a screen panel for mounting on a screen deck and screening bulk materials.
  • a screen deck assembly for a screening machine comprising a frame with structural supports and one or more screen panels mounted on the structural supports, a screening device comprising one or more screen deck assemblies, and a screening plant assembly (static or mobile) comprising a screening device.
  • Vibrating screening devices for screening bulk materials such as quarry stone generally comprises a vibrating screen deck with screening media mounted to the deck.
  • the media includes through holes (apertures) of a defined size to screen the bulk materials resulting in fractionation of (for example) crushed stones and gravel into fractions of stones with different sizes.
  • screening media should be one piece over the whole deck and have no interruption in the tightly-packed aperture pattern. In reality this is difficult to achieve and most screening media are provided as modular panels that are mounted on structural members forming part of the screening deck.
  • Figure 1 showing in sectional view four screening panels 1 having apertures 2 mounted across structural supports 3 defining a gap 3' between adjacent structural supports.
  • Some of the apertures are mounted over the structural supports (referenced herein as "second apertures" 2') which in effect reduces the aperture size due to the obstruction defined between the structural support and an underside of the screen panel.
  • Figures 2 and 3 show a single screen panel mounted to two structural support members having two columns of apertures 2 positioned over a gap 3' defined between the support members 3 and two columns of second apertures 2' each positioned over a support member.
  • Figure 3 is a sectional view taken along the line III-III of Figure 2 , showing the largest (and desired) aperture size 5 (referred to herein as “unobstructed aperture size”) that can allow particles of the desired size through the top of second aperture 2', the obstructed aperture size 6 (referred to herein as “obstructed aperture size ”) that can allow particles pass fully through second aperture 2' and past the obstruction, and the unhindered flow aperture size 7 (referred to herein as "unhindered flow aperture size” ) that is sufficiently small to allow particles through second aperture 2' and past the obstruction with unhindered free flow.
  • This arrangement will therefore inevitably lead to stuck particles and poor performance and lifetime of the screen components.
  • a partial solution to this problem is to change the aperture size of the second apertures 2' above a support member, as illustrated in Figures 4 and 5 (prior art).
  • the two illustrations above show a common practice of reducing the size of the second apertures to an ideal obstructed aperture size 8 this is dimensionally close to unhindered flow aperture size 7 but it can be bigger as long as it is significantly smaller than the obstructed aperture size 6. This ensures that the particles do not get stuck in the aperture or between the fixed obstruction and the underside of the screen panel.
  • These ideal obstructed aperture size 8 will of course not give a perfect screening result as they are not the unobstructed aperture size 5 but they will still let through any particle smaller than particle size 8 which still contributes to the overall screening process.
  • the drawback of this method is that the overall performance of the screen is reduced since the effective open area is reduced.
  • a screen panel for mounting across two structural supports of a screen deck frame and screening bulk materials, the screening panel comprising a panel housing having an upper surface and a lower surface and a plurality of apertures extending through the panel arranged in a grid array having at least three rows of apertures and at least three columns of apertures wherein the apertures comprise:
  • the second apertures have a first aperture section that defines the first aperture size (i.e., ideal obstructed particle aperture size) and one or more second aperture sections having a third aperture size that is smaller than the ideal obstructed particle aperture size.
  • first aperture section that defines the first aperture size (i.e., ideal obstructed particle aperture size)
  • second aperture sections having a third aperture size that is smaller than the ideal obstructed particle aperture size.
  • the screen panel comprises supporting legs disposed along opposed sides of the panel housing that in use support the panel housing above the structural supports. Having a screen panel with legs allows the panel to be spaced from the supporting legs to vary the size of obstruction defined between the panel and a structural support.
  • the screen panel is configured such that in use the first aperture section of the second apertures is disposed above and laterally offset with respect to a structural support, and the or each second aperture section of the second apertures is disposed directly above the structural support.
  • This arrangement provides a screen panel in the which the larger (first) aperture section is spaced from the obstruction and the smaller (second) aperture section that in use provides the additional screening area is disposed above the obstruction.
  • the apertures in any one column of apertures are all first apertures or all second apertures and in which the apertures in any one row of apertures include first apertures and second apertures.
  • the screen panel comprises a first column consisting of second apertures disposed along the first side of the screen panel, a second column consisting of second apertures disposed along the second opposite side of the screen panel, and at least one column consisting of first apertures disposed in between the first and second columns.
  • the screen panel comprises two columns consisting of first apertures disposed in between the first and second columns of second apertures. This is a suitable arrangement for a screen panel configured to be mounted across two parallel supports where each support defines an obstruction under a column of apertures disposed at each side of the panel.
  • the screen panel has a square or rectangular shape.
  • the first apertures have a regular 4-sided polygon shape and the second apertures have a regular n-sided polygon shape where n ⁇ 6.
  • the first apertures may be square or rectangular. In other embodiments they may be circular or oval or have curved sidewalls. In any embodiment, n ⁇ 8, 10 or 12.
  • the first aperture section and second aperture section of the second apertures have a regular 4-sided polygon shape. This is a preferred shape to provide optimal screening efficiency for most materials.
  • the second apertures have one first aperture section and at least two or three second aperture sections.
  • the second apertures may be L-shaped , C-shaped or E-shaped.
  • C-shaped second apertures are preferred as they provide a balance of maximal added screen area without compromising the strength of the panel, although depending on the size of the first aperture section, one, two or three second aperture sections may be provided.
  • a ratio of the second aperture size to the third aperture size is 1.2:1.0 to 1:8:1.0. In any embodiment, a ratio of the second aperture size to the third aperture size is about 1.4:1.0 to about 1:6:1.0. These ratios have been found to provide optimal balance between maintaining the screening efficiency of the second aperture while increasing the screening area of the panel.
  • a ratio of the first aperture size to the second aperture size is 1.0:0.75 to 1.0:0.25. In any embodiment, a ratio of the first aperture size to the second aperture size is 1.0:0.6 to 1.0:0.4. These ratios have been found to provide optimal balance between maintaining the screening efficiency of the second aperture while increasing the screening area of the panel.
  • a screen deck assembly comprising a screen deck frame comprising two structural supports, a gap defined between the two structural supports, and a screen panel according to the invention mounted across the two structural supports, wherein the second apertures are disposed over at least one of the structural supports and the first apertures are disposed over the gap defined between the two structural supports.
