The YUANLV Cone Screen is more than just a filter; it's a sophisticated, proven system for excluding fish and debris. The genius lies in its simplicity and strength.


Cone screening solutions are ideal for fish-friendly, shallow intakes or offtakes.

YUANLV specialises in supplying high-quality, high-performance screening solutions.


Water is drawn gently and evenly through the precision-engineered wedge wire surface, leaving aquatic life unharmed and debris behind. It then passes seamlessly through the robust internal structure and into your intake system. The iconic conical shape is inherently strong, capable of withstanding powerful flows and harsh conditions while guaranteeing minimal head loss. This translates directly to maximum operational efficiency and reliable water delivery for your critical applications.

Benefits

  • Protects fish from entrainment and impingement.

  • Protects pumps from clogging.

  • Protects downstream filtration and irrigation equipment.

  • Improves water quality.

  • Suitable for shallow or partially submerged applications.


Applications

  • Irrigation.

  • Urban Water Intakes.

  • Debris/weed-dense waterways.


Agricultural Irrigation: Guarantees a clean, uninterrupted water flow to protect sprayers, driplines, and pivots, maximizing crop yields.

Municipal & Urban Water Intakes: Provides a critical first line of defense for town and city water supplies, ensuring safety and reliability.

Challenging Waterways: Excels in environments with high concentrations of debris, vegetation, or weeds, maintaining clear and consistent flow.


Manufacturing & Customization

Tailored to Your Exacting Standards

We understand that no two projects are the same. That's why we offer unparalleled flexibility to meet your precise operational needs.

Bespoke Engineering: While we offer a comprehensive range of standard sizes, our specialty is creating tailor-made solutions. The Cone Screen and its mounting base can be fully customized to your site's unique bathymetry and flow requirements.

Scalable for Any Flow: For large-volume applications, multiple Cone Screens can be configured into an array, providing limitless capacity without compromising performance or environmental safety.

Built to Last: Constructed from premium materials like stainless steel, our screens are designed to endure the most demanding operating environments, ensuring decades of reliable service and an exceptionally low total cost of ownership.


Projects:

For a recent major project, YUANLV Wedge Wire Cone Screens were specified to overcome several critical challenges, demonstrating their clear technical superiority:

Expansive Surface Area for Gentle Flow: The project utilized nearly 50m² of screen surface. This massive area ensures incredibly low, uniform velocities across the entire screen, making it a safe haven for fish while delivering a reliable water supply.

Automated Self-Cleaning for Uninterrupted Operation: Featuring our unique, integrated brushing system, the screens remain free of fouling. A fully programmable cleaning cycle—typically running for just a few minutes once per day—ensures the system operates at peak efficiency with minimal human intervention.

Low-Profile Design for All Conditions: The screen's low-slung profile was essential for the project, guaranteeing that the required flow volumes could be met even during seasonal low river levels.

Optimized for Native Species Protection: The use of stainless steel wedge wire with a 2 mm- 3 mm slot opening is a globally recognized and proven standard, specifically shown to be highly effective in protecting delicate native Australian fish species.


Call to Action
