VIBRATOR WITH RUBBER-LINED PILLOW BLOCKS
Each of the five pillow blocks drives one of the five
lateral steel members that make up the vibrating top,
assuring uniform movement which prevents metal fatigue
of the steel. The screen cloth is driven evenly through
the friction hold of these 5 members, resulting in longer
screen cloth life, as there is no whipping of this under-
slung screen cloth. As the entire vibrating frame is above
the screen cloth, it is easily taken care of. Recommended
