Une machine de criblage vibratoire comprend des ensembles tamis remplaçables. Des mécanismes de compression sont utilisés pour fixer des ensembles tamis remplaçables à la machine de criblage vibratoire. Chaque mécanisme de compression applique une force à un ensemble tamis remplaçable qui comprend à la fois une composante horizontale et une composante verticale descendante. Chaque ensemble tamis remplaçable est généralement sensiblement plat avant installation sur une machine de criblage vibratoire. La force appliquée à un ensemble tamis par un ou plusieurs mécanismes de compression amène l'ensemble tamis à être poussé pour venir en prise avec des éléments de support concaves sous-jacents de sorte que l'ensemble tamis adopte lui-même une forme concave, le centre de l'ensemble tamis étant inférieur aux bords latéraux. La composante verticale descendante de la force aide à fixer l'ensemble tamis à la machine de criblage.
