Different types of wire meshes are:
Woven wire mesh
Welded wire mesh
Expanded wire mesh
Crimped wire mesh
Galvanised wire mesh
Stainless steel wire mesh
Wire is made from diffrent Ferrous and Non Ferrous materials -
Carbon steel
Galvanised steel
Stainless steel
Aluminium
Copper and its alloys
Diffrence between these materials
Mesh made
of high carbon steel wire has high strength, is magnetic and can be galvanised or cladded with PVC coating or painted to prevent corrosion.
Mesh made from stainless steel wire do not require any further
treatment.
The various patterns include:
Twill weave : Ideal for weaving thicker and larger diameter wires. It is effective in filtering smaller particles and supporting heavier loads. Commonly used in vibrating screens
and filters.
Crimped wire mesh :Pre-crimped wires are woven enhancing meshe's rigidity and strength.
Plain weave : This mesh with a smooth and consistent surface, typically has a higher mesh count.It
is suitable for mesh size of 3x3 or smaller.ofetn used for screening and filtering applications.
Flat top Weave: This design eliminates protruding wires, giving a smooth flat surface. Thus extending its
abrasive life and durability. Most commonly applications include vibrating screens.
Dutch weave :Here the weft wire are finer with smaller diameters, and the warp wires are thicker, which enhances the
tensilte strenghth. The finer weft wires improve thw filtering efficiency.This pattern is often chosen for its strength and precision.
The Plain, Dutch and the Twill weave can be combined with each as
per requirement.
Edges of the screen can be left raw-exposed at the edge, or they can be selvaged.This can be done by pressing the edges in between side plates.This also increases the stiffness and strength
of the entire screen.
Industrial heavy screens : Widely used as Vibrating screens as they are very suitable for rugged industrial sifting and grading applications in Mining and Quarry indutries for precious metal and ore grading,coal
preparation, water treatment, foundries, agriculture etc.
Stone crushing plants : Wire mesh screens are vital equipment in stone crushing units.
Woven wire mesh screens : It is also used in filtration,
seperation, and cleaning processes for petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries
Reinforcement mesh : Typically used to reinforce concrete components.Can also be used as fences and
partition walls and protection against rock slides and avalanches.
Other applications include ventilation grids, cable guides etc.
Widest range of filtration, from over 6" aperture to 1micron
Closely controlled accurate apertures
High open area/flow rate
Very high temperature tolerance(varies according to metal selected)
Usable under high pressure
Flexible - ideal for forming rigid convex and concave shapes
Suitable under tension
Control of chemical/acid/corrosion resistance using different metals
Point contact only on screened product alows free screening and reduced binding
Suitable as upper for less rigid media
