V-wire
screen is better alternative of slotted pipe for tube wells. It is fabricated
in pipe form with continuous slots made of V-wire which allow more water to
enter in tube well. Its purpose is for improving
pumping efficiency by maximising water
flow rate into the well.
V-wire screens are made by welding V-shaped wire
on support rods, creating slots which enlarge inwardly, meeting the most
demanding standards for ruggedness, durability, consistency and slot openings.
The V-shaped opening allows only two contact points with the particles, thus
preventing any risk of clogging. Each project is custom designed and engineered
to ensure complete satisfaction.
The
continuous V-wire slot design allows for lower entrance velocity of the water
by reducing encrustation rates. The slot design also resists plugging and
prevents sand from damaging pumps and reducing pumping cost. The high open area
of the V-Wire well screen allows for water to enter the well freely, resulting
in minimal drawdown and less energy usage by a pump. V-Wire technology and
welded construction help to prevent well screen failure by better controlling
of the sand.
Advantage :
- Non-clogging slot
- Large percentage open area
- Continuous slots
Application :
- Tube wells
