Bowen Reverse Circulation
Junk Baskets
The Bowen Reverse Circulation Junk Basket
used to retrieve all types of small junk objects in
well bores. This tool's unique principle of reverse
circulation insures complete recovery of all junk
and eliminates misruns. A drain through the tool
also eliminates the possibility of pulling a wet
string even though the inner barrel is plugged by
the core. In addition, it may be converted into an
effective fishing magnet and still retain the reverse
circulation feature.
A single junk catcher is used in each assembly. A
lifting sub is provided for ease of handling which
includes a storage space for the steel ball used in
the operation of the tool. It is converted into a
fishing magnet by replacing the catcher with the
Bowen magnet insert.
Alternate Shoes available are the Type B and Type
C. The Type B shoe is similar in design to Type A
but dressed with Itcoloy. The Type C is flat
bottomed and dressed with Itcoloy.
During operation, with the steel ball dropped into
the valve seat, fluid flows through the inner
passage of the barrel and out the vents in its lower
end. The fluid is directed outward and downward
and deflected toward the center. Fluid flows in a
continuous stream to the center of the tool and up
through return ports in the upper end of the barrel.
All junk is thus carried into the barrel above the
junk catcher.
