A vibratory screening machine having opposite sides with a plurality of stationary aligned tensioning members mounted on one side and a plurality of nut actuated movable tensioning members mounted on the opposite side and a vibratory screening screen mounted on the stationary and movable tensioning members. The tensioning members have upstanding fingers which are received in apertures in the plates of the vibratory screen, and the edge portions of the vibratory screen include screening material which extends all of the way to the extreme edges of the supporting plate and the fingers are below the screening material. Also, the tensioning structure is mounted on the side walls of the vibratory screening machine below the vibratory screen.

Vibratory screening machine and vibratory screen and screen tensioning structure

A method of attenuating the sound emanating from a bank of a plurality of vibrating screens of a plurality of vibrating screening machines including the steps of providing a master pulse of known phase and frequency, comparing the phase and frequency of a plurality of vibrating screens with the known phase and frequency of said master pulse, and adjusting the phase and frequency of said bank of plurality of vibrating screens so that the waveforms produced thereby tend to cancel each other. An apparatus for implementing the method is also disclosed.

Method and apparatus for attenuating sound from vibratory screening machines

A vibratory motor for a vibratory screening machine including a housing having a main shaft mounting outer shafts at its ends with a slip connection therebetween, bearings mounted on the outer shafts, first lubricant chambers on opposite sides of each of the bearings with a conduit therebetween, eccentric weights on the opposite sides of each bearing in each of the first lubricant chambers, second lubricant chambers outwardly of the first lubricant chambers, ducts between each outermost first lubricant chamber and an adjacent second lubricant chamber, second conduits between the second lubricant chambers, and conduits including the hollow portion of the main shaft and bores in the main shaft and outer shafts for conducting lubricant from the second lubricant chambers to the bearings.
