rotary screen

Rotary screens are used as rotary screens, collectors such as screen laterals and nozzles, resin traps, in-line strainers,water intake screens, well screens, as well as many other applications involving liquid / solids separation.

Rotary screens are manufactured in various diameters from 1/2" pipe size to 36" diameter. Screen cylinders can be fabricated into much larger sizes. Each intersection of wedge wire and support rod is welded for strength and durability. Variou wedge wire and support rod combinations can be used to produce the best screen design.

Wedge Wire screen cylinders can be designed with slot openings and wires running radially on the outside surface of the screen cylinder or they can be positioned axially on the inside of the cylinder
Rotary Screens typically use wedgewire for the screening media.The externally fed unit has a spiral wound wedgewire screen drum 36" OD x 120" long.

Application of rotary screen

The water screen is used throughout the world for water, oil, and gas wells, and for environmental well completions. It is the dominant screen type used in the water well industry.

Advantages of rotary screen

-- flatness to within tight tolerances

-- no weakening of the welds, because of flattening (and no stress corrosion problems as a result)

-- accurate distance between support profiles

-- possibility of different support wires in one screen

-- possibility of variable spacing between support wires in one screen
