CENTRIFUGAL SCREEN FILTER AND RELATED METHOD OF ASSEMBLY

A centrifugal screen filter and methods of assembly to accommodate variability in batch centrifuges by utilizing two different style joint connections when assembling the individual screen panels to form the centrifugal screen filter. A first joint configuration can include a fixation member that fixes the first joint configuration relative to the batch centrifuge by engaging the batch centrifuge. A second joint configuration can utilize an elongated, compressible member to provide flexibility and scaling capability to additional joint connections between adjacent screen panels. The centrifugal screen filter can utilize only a single first joint configuration with the remaining connections being of the second joint configuration. Alternatively, the centrifugal screen filter can be constructed utilizing one or more pairs of first joint configurations, wherein the pair or pairs of first joint configurations are located in opposed positions of the centrifugal screen filter and the remaining connections are of the second joint configuration.
