1. A screen panel assembly, comprising:
- a screen panel; and
one or more raised screen components disposed on said screen panel, each of said one or more raised screen components comprising;
an inclined screen surface that defines a first plane that is oriented at a first angle relative to said screen panel, said inclined screen surface having a front edge that is aligned with a top surface of said screen panel and is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said screen panel, wherein said first plane is substantially perpendicular to a displacement vector along which said screen panel assembly is accelerated by a vibratory separation device; and
a wedge surface that is positioned at a back side of said raised screen component, wherein said wedge surface is adapted to disrupt a flow path of a flow of a material mixture flowing in a longitudinal direction across said screen panel by redirecting said flow around opposing sides of said raised screen component, wherein said wedge surface extends vertically from and is substantially perpendicular to said top surface of said screen panel.

Abstract
A screen panel assembly includes a screen panel and one or more raised screen components, wherein at least one of the raised screen components is disposed on the screen panel. Furthermore, each of the one or more raised screen components includes at least one inclined screen surface that defines a first plane that is oriented at a first angle relative to said screen panel. Additionally, the first plane is substantially aligned with a second plane that is oriented at a second angle relative to a third plane that is perpendicular to a displacement vector along which the screen panel assembly is accelerated by a vibratory separation device.

9. A screen panel assembly comprising
a plurality of screen panels; - and
a plurality of raised screen components disposed on each of said plurality of screen panels, each of said plurality of raised screen components comprising; an inclined screen surface having a front edge that is aligned with a top surface of a respective one of said plurality of screen panels and a plurality of second edges that extends upward from said top surface of said respective screen panel, said front edge being substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said respective screen panel, wherein said inclined screen surface defines a first plane that is oriented at a first angle relative to said respective screen panel and is substantially perpendicular to a displacement vector along which said screen panel assembly is accelerated by a vibratory separation device; and a wedge surface that is positioned at a back side of said raised screen component, wherein said wedge surface is adapted to disrupt a flow path of a flow of a material mixture flowing in a longitudinal direction across said respective screen panel by redirecting said flow around opposing sides of said raised screen component, wherein said wedge surface extends vertically from and is substantially perpendicular to said top surface of said screen panel. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
