Get More Out of Your Woven Wire
Annealing/Sintering
Heat treatment designed to deliver optimal durability, formability, and performance. Heavily monitored, both the annealing and sintering processes can help improve the overall quality of your wire mesh.
Adhesion
Seal and protect welded joints, borders, and seams of your wire mesh components with the application of adhesives. From high-temperature applications to food-grade requirements, advanced techniques ensure a consistent and dependable bond that can accommodate a wide range of applications.
Calendering
Enhance the versatility, rigidity, and performance of your wire mesh with heavily calculated calendering. This process gives you complete control of the smoothness, thickness, and uniformity of your wire mesh, ensuring desirable results are achieved.
Cleaning
Degreasing and aqueous cleaning techniques combined with state-of-the-art ultrasonic cleaning for rolled, coiled, or single parts. These processes ensure your wire mesh is pristine, resulting in optimal performance and longevity.
Cutting Processes (Pieces, Strips, And Coils)
Single-piece or multi-part production takes place using various cutting processes: rotary or stationary blades, splitting systems, water-jet cutting, plasma cutting, or laser cutting. Whether you desire standard shapes or custom design, these advanced cutting techniques will help you implement wire mesh components furnished with precise cuts and the specifications you need.
Pressing / Deep Drawing
Fully automated pressing and deep drawing processes designed to deliver the integrated designs and precise profiles that you need to accomplish complex filtration and screening performance. Pushing the boundaries of wire mesh formability, these processes are perfect for large production runs or as single part production for perforated, embossed, or formed components.
Welding
Join multiple layers of wire mesh or complete your formed wire mesh components with a bond formed through exemplary welding. Welding techniques you choose are: Plasma, TIG, MIG, MAG, and resistance welding, with high precision seam and spot welding.
Straighten and Stretching
Fabricate wire mesh solutions that feature a uniform flatness. These straightening and stretching processes implement calculated and controlled tensioning and alignment, eliminating bends or waves that prevent your wire mesh from lying flat.
Plastic Injection Molding
Fuse the precision of woven wire mesh with the stability of various plastics with plastic injection molding. Create one-of-a-kind wire mesh components that deliver enhanced functionality with this state-of-the-art process.
Packing
Manual or fully automatic, loose, or single packing. Reusable or disposable packaging: solutions for all automation and process requirements.
Stamping and Punching
Fabricate wire mesh pieces that feature precise shapes and intricate designs with dependable stamping and punching processes. Through the use of advanced machinery and skilled professionals, high production volumes are achieved, lowering costs and providing consistent quality.
