Abstract
A vibratory screen separator using screens includes a base and a housing resiliently mounted to the base and divided into two wall portions held together by a clamp band. Brackets are located high on the housing and lifts are diametrically positioned to either side of the housing. The lifts are pivotally mounted to the base through feet to move from a first position engaging the brackets to a second position displaced from the housing. Each lift includes a fluid cylinder and shaft mounted to an arm. A head associated with the shaft of the fluid cylinder and shaft engages a slot on the associated bracket and can operate to lift a portion of the housing with the clamp band removed. In this lifted state, access is provided to screens clamped within the housing between housing portions.
