Abstract
Abstract A self-cleaning tubular screen adapted for dewatering or classifying particulates which embodies a slotted construction to provide a self-cleaning V-Slot that enlarges in the outward radial direction. The support rods for the tubular screen are located on the inner periphery of the tubular screen and attached to the wide face of wedge-shaped wire so as to preclude any interference with the slot opening. In a preferred arrangement the support rods are spiralled in order to enhance or improve particulate flow longitudinally through the screen.
