Wedge wire screens are made of metallic profiles that are welded onto rods at every contact point. These profiles are usually triangular in shape, while the rods themselves vary in shape.
Used in a wide range of applications in the field of process engineering such as ground water exploration, crude oil and natural gas production and vessel internals solving problems of liquid / solid and solid / gas separation.
Products include: Baskets, Sieve Screens, Catalyst Support Screens, Centrifuge Baskets, Oil Well Screens, Water Well Screens, Water Intake Screens, Rotary Screens, Centre Pipes.
TYPE 304 STAINLESS STEEL WEDGE WIRE SCREEN:
The v-wire or wedge wire tapered opening becomes progressively wider toward the interior of the well screen. This produces a non plugging opening ( unlike mesh construction ) that has only two contact points to retain sand particles, thus increasing efficiency and lowering entrance velocity.
Our stainless steel wedge wire well screens are manufactured using unique computer controlled machinery in which a continuous length of profile wire of a triangular section is fusion welded into support rods. This 'V' shaped profile wire is wound around the support rods over the full length of the screen thus creating a continuous slot opening.
Atlas well screen offers many advantages:
A continuous slot opening which significantly increases the available open area, thus providing a greater access to the water bearing zone.
A 'V' shaped profile wire which avoids clogging and ensures uninterrupted flow.
A uniform and efficient well development due to the continuous slot opening.
