AMW - Drive Point Screens
The Drive Point rod-based, wedge-wire wrapped, all welded screen has a large inlet area that allows maximum flow of water from the well. The continuous slot allows more open area than conventional gauze type drive points made on pipe. This large inlet area provides higher flow rates with less drawdown. Easier well development and lower pumping velocity provide less chance of clogging.
Non-Clogging slots are formed by the wedge-shaped wire, wrapped spirally around preset vertical base rods, and specially welded at each point of contact. Wire wraps are precision spaced giving uniform slot tolerance throughout the length of the screen. Wedge-shaped wire forms “V” shaped openings between wraps, which provide self-cleaning action and greatly reduce flow friction. Small particles are easily passed through the continuous slot, while larger ones are held out without inhibiting the total inlet area.
