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.
