Patent ID: 7581569

Claim:
A screen for a vibratory separator, comprising: a woven wire cloth extending in a substantially flat plane, the woven wire cloth having a plurality of warp wires and a plurality of weft wires, each of the warp wires and each of the weft wires having a cross-sectional height extending substantially perpendicular to the plane of the woven wire cloth and a cross-sectional width extending substantially parallel to the plane of the woven wire cloth; the warp wires being arranged substantially parallel to each other, disposed completely in a common horizontal plane limited by a dimension of the cross-sectional height of the warp wire, and defining openings in the woven wire cloth for the passage of material there through, the height of each of the warp wires being larger than the width of each of the warp wires; and the weft wires extending substantially perpendicular to the warp wires, the weft wires being woven through the warp wires in groups at spaced intervals, the height of each of the weft wires being smaller than the width of each of the weft wires.
