Woven wire mesh with various mesh openings can be utilized as a single layer sieving or filtration media or as a support for several fragile media. Wire mesh is used for separation of solid media with various particle sizes and purification of liquids from mechanical impurities. An essential property for an excellent wire mesh and provision for a smooth operation of a sieving machine is an accurate aperture and wire diameter. It is confirmed as per DIN ISO 944.
Applications of wire mesh
The metal woven wire mesh constructed from the various metal and alloy grades is used in the:
Food industry, beverage industry, oil regeneration, chemical and pharmaceutical industry, air filtration and dust filtration.
Several materials that are sieved, specifically carbon, coke, ore and crushed stones have large demands of the mechanical stability and wear resistance of the sieve. Other applications are frail and need very fine and precise apertures.We have the weaving capability and experience to meet all types of these needs. On the base of application, we can offer plain woven mesh or special weaving patterns that include but not bounded to Dutch twill weave and Reverse Dutch weave.
Diverse sieving applications use wire mesh with square opening produced by a plain weave pattern. We construct stainless steel wire mesh with square opening from 25 micro meters to 14 millimeter that are suitable for almost all sieving machines. For large sizes, the specific fabrications are possible at any moment.
