EXCLUSIVE FEATURES OF
THE KEIL VIBRATING SCREEN :
1. STEP DECK—This permits the mud
laden rejects to turn over as they cas-
cade to the lower screen sections. This
frees the recoverable mud and permits
it to pass through the screen cloth. This
results in larger screen capacity and less
loss of usable mud.
2 , FOU R SMALLE R SCREE N
CLOTHS—This reduces the cloth up-
keep to the replacement of a small sec-
tion at a time, rather than the entire
screen cloth when any one section
should fail. A smaller size screen cloth
is also easier to install, can be kept in
more uniform tension and cannot be
distorted like larger screen cloths when
applied.
3. The combination of step deck and sec-
tional cloths also permits the use of two
different mesh screen cloths on the same unit, made of rubber. This reduces shut-down possibili-
a decided advantage. ties because of breakage and wear. All other parts
are of steel.
4, There are no springs, cams and loose moving parts
on the Keil Mud Screen, all resilient parts being 5. A rugged construction throughout permits the
Keil Screen to be operated with
a suitable steam turbine, if elec-
tric motive power is not available
or is more expensive.
6. Lubrication is provided for by
two Alemite fittings, one on each
bearing in the rotor shaft, pre-
venting entry of sand and inju-
rious particles into the bearings.
7. SCREEN OBTAINABLE ON
UNITIZED MOUNTING—We
strongly recommend the unitized
assembly as shown above. The
slight increase in cost of this as-
sembly over the plain screen and
collecting tank is rapidly offset
by the saving in installation cost
and the longer life and better
general operation of the equip-
ment, because the danger of un-
even assembly and misalignment
of parts is eliminated.
