APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR MAKING A SCREEN AND A SCREEN MADE BY THE METHOD

摘要

The present invention provides an apparatus for making a screen, said apparatus characterised in that it comprises a manifold (12) having a plurality (56, 7) of nozzles arranged thereon for applying glue to a screen. The invention also provides a method for making a screen for a vibratory separator using an apparatus (100) comprising a main body (4) and a plurality of nozzles (56, 7) movably connected thereto, the method comprising the steps of placing at least one layer of screening material below said apparatus, applying glue from at least one of said plurality of nozzles in a pattern (10) to at least a portion of the at least one layer of screening material by moving said plurality of nozzles over the at least one layer of screening material. The invention also provides a method for making a screen, the method comprising the steps of placing a substrate below an apparatus (100) comprising a main body (4) and a plurality of nozzles movably connected thereto, applying glue from at least one of the nozzles (5, 6, 7) in a pattern to at least a portion of the substrate by moving said nozzles over said substrate, applying screening material to said glue and separating said glue from said substrate.
