A screening arrangement including two side walls, each having an inward facing side and an outward facing side, and a screen holder arrangement extending between the inward facing sides of the side walls for use in connecting a first and a second screening element. The screen holder arrangement includes a first screen connector and a second screen connector. The first screen connector includes a pivotable element arranged to pivot about an axis that is parallel with a longitudinal extension of the first screen connector. The pivotable element includes a connection portion arranged to hold one end of the first screening element. The pivotable element is arranged to pivot between a first position and a second position, where the pivotable element is arranged such that when it is in the second position and a screen is connected to the pivotable element, particles larger than a predetermined size are prevented from passing between the first and second screen connectors.

Screening device

A movable material processing apparatus for handling material such as ore, gravel, rock or the like, that includes: a foldable conveyor for discharging material from the apparatus. The foldable conveyor is movable between a transport position and an operating position. The foldable conveyor includes a loading block arranged at the loading end, and a discharge block extending from the loading block towards a discharge end. The discharge block is pivotally coupled to the loading block along a first axis being perpendicular to a transport path of the foldable conveyor and parallel with a carrying surface of the foldable conveyor. The loading block is pivotally coupled to a support structure of the movable material processing apparatus along a second axis being parallel to the transport path.

Movable material processing apparatus comprising a foldable conveyor

In a mineral material processing method, mineral material is processed in a mineral material processing plant. Heat generated in heat sources of the processing plant and/or fuel used in a motor of the processing plant is cooled in a cooler of the processing plant. The cooler is equipped with a blower. Wetting water is directed to the mineral material for binding dust generated in the processing. Heat of at least one heat source of the processing plant and/or heat of the fuel is transferred to the wetting water before using the wetting water for dust binding. The wetting water is directed, before the dust binding, to a first heat exchanger for receiving heat in the wetting water.
