What
is Wire Cloth? This is a general term for
a woven material made from a metallic wire. Traditional
wire cloth (Wire Mesh, Wire Screen, Woven Mesh)
is made in rolls on a loom. It consists of a warp
and shute wire and the openings can be made in
many geometric shapes and sizes. The wire is generally
crimped during the weaving process and the openings
are controlled during the weaving process.

- Extra Wide Widths: Up to 240" Wide is available on select items

Plain
Weave Wire Cloth is the most commonly used and simplest
wire cloth weave. Each shute wire is woven alternately
over and under the warp wires through the cloth at
90 degree angles. This is a very common weave that
can be produced quickly and economically. It has a wide
range of applications.
Twilled
Weave Wire Cloth is woven by passing each shute wire alternately
over and under two warp wires. This type of weave
is commercially woven in items ranging from 150-635
mesh however it is also available in course and mid
range mesh combinations.
Dutch Weave Wire Cloth is woven with a larger wire
diameter in the warp direction and a relatively
smaller wire in the shute direction. This weave
has great strength and is available in wide range
of micron ranges. It is primarily used to filter
a wide range of liquid and slurry products.
Twilled Dutch Weave Wire Cloth is a woven product
that is capable of very fine filtration. Shute
wires are passed alternately over and under two
warp wires forming a fine mesh. It has a wide
range of filtration applications for gas and liquid
applications.
Reverse
Dutch Weave Wire Cloth is a very strong woven product.
This mesh is ideal for making filter belts, and
applications where fine filtration and great strength
are required. This mesh is also made in reverse
twill dutch and sometimes referred to as PZ and
KPZ Mesh.
Five Heddle Weave Wire Cloth cloth provides a rectangular opening. The unique design of this mesh can assist increased drainage and flow properties. This mesh also has a smooth surface on one side.
Traditional Woven Wire Cloth
has several categories to help classify the mesh
into groups. In addition to these groups there
are countless combinations that can be supplied.

What is Pre-Crimp Mesh?
This woven mesh uses wire that is crimped prior to
weaving. The opening is normally determined by the
size and style of the crimp. Our Pre-Crimp mesh in
normally woven with wire diameters ranging from .035"
- .375" and openings ranging from less than .250"
- 6".
We can supply in cut panels & rolls up to 120" wide.
