Type

• Wedge Wire Water Well Screen: Wedge wire water well screens use V-shaped profile wires for continuous slots, delivering high open area, strong collapse resistance, and precise sand control. Ideal for deep wells, irrigation systems, and industrial groundwater filtration.
• Wire-Wrapped Water Well Screen: Wire-wrapped well screens feature helically wrapped stainless wires over an API base pipe, providing uniform slots, high flow efficiency, and reliable sand control. Suitable for water wells, geothermal wells, and fine-sand formations.
• Bridge Slot Water Well Screen: Bridge slot well screens use arched bridge-shaped openings for large flow capacity and reduced clogging. Widely used in agricultural wells, municipal groundwater systems, and shallow-to-medium depth wells requiring economic filtration solutions.
• Slotted Liner / Slotted Casing: Slotted liners are precision-cut steel casings offering strong structural support and durable sand filtration. Their staggered or straight slots ensure stable performance for municipal wells, industrial wells, and irrigation systems in stable formations.
• Pre-Packed Water Well Screen: Pre-packed well screens feature inner and outer screens with a pre-filled gravel layer providing superior sand control for fine formations. They offer high permeability, quick installation, and reliable performance for municipal and industrial wells.
