Abstract:
A screening module for a screening assembly, the module includinga substantially rectangular, planar screening member having a plurality of screening apertures extending through it, the member having a pair of sides extending parallel to a direction of flow of material over the member and a pair of sides extending transverse to a direction of flow of material over the member; a mounting means formed integrally with the screening member as a one-piece unit for securing the member to an underlying structure, a part of the mounting means being arranged along each side of the screening member and only the parts of the mounting means associated with one pair of sides having reinforcing contained within the parts with the parts of the mounting means associated with the other pair of sides being without reinforcing; and a locating means associated with the parts of the mounting means of at least one pair of sides of the screening member for locating the screening member relative to the underlying structure, the locating means projecting beneath an underside of the parts of the mounting means to abut against an associated part of the underlying structure for inhibiting flexing and dislodgment of the module relative to the underlying structure, at least the parts of the mounting means associated with the at least one pair of sides of the screening member being arranged outwardly of the locating means.
