The side rails are couplable to inward facing surfaces of the basket and the filter screen is supportable by the side rails. The support extends from the filter screen and is configured to engage the lower deck or a support surface of the vibratory separator and provide support for the filter screen across a width thereof.

Deck assemblies for vibratory separators

A method of installing a vibratory shaker screen in a vibratory shaker, including placing a first end of the vibratory shaker screen in a retainer, wherein the retainer is one of attached and a component of the vibratory shaker; pivoting a second end of the vibratory shaker screen toward a screen installation position on the vibratory shaker, deflecting a tab on one of the vibratory shaker screen and the vibratory shaker through contact of the vibratory shaker screen to another retainer of the vibratory shaker, and connecting the vibratory shaker screen to the vibratory shaker, where the tab fixedly connects the vibratory shaker screen to the vibratory shaker.

Snap in screen and method

Systems and methods for a screen assembly configurable in a multi-screen configuration. The screen assembly in the multi-screen configuration includes a lower shaker screen and an upper shaker screen. A track is configured to be disposed on an inside wall of a vibratory separator and includes an upper retainer and a lower retainer. A screen clamping assembly is disposed in the track and includes a small spacer disposed between the lower shaker screen and the upper shaker screen in the track when the screen assembly is in the multi-screen configuration. An actuator is disposed in the track and has a clamped position where the actuator is actuated to provide a clamping force to clamp the lower shaker screen, the upper shaker screen, and the small spacer between the upper retainer and the lower retainer of the track.
