Crimped Wire Mesh

Product Introduction

Crimped Wire Mesh, also known as Pre-crimped Wire Mesh, is manufactured by pre-crimping wires before weaving. This process locks the intersection points of the warp and weft wires, preventing slippage and ensuring a rigid, stable structure. It is renowned for its high tensile strength, uniform aperture distribution, and ability to withstand heavy loads and extreme temperatures.

Material

Crimped wire mesh is available in a variety of materials to suit different environmental and operational requirements:

Stainless Steel: 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 310, 321 (Corrosion-resistant, high temperature resistance)
Carbon Steel: Q235, 45# (High strength, economical)
Galvanized Iron: Electro-galvanized or Hot-dipped galvanized (Anti-rust, long service life)
Copper / Brass: (Conductive, anti-magnetic)
Alloy Steel: (For heavy-duty screening applications)

Specifications

The specifications of crimped wire mesh are defined by wire diameter, aperture size, and crimp type.

Parameter	Options / Range
Wire Diameter	0.5 mm – 16 mm (0.02 in – 0.63 in)
Aperture (Opening)	0.5 mm – 100 mm (0.02 in – 4 in)
Crimp Type	Pre-crimped, Lock crimp, Intermediate crimp, Flat top crimp
Weave Type	Plain weave, Double crimp, Intercrimp, Lock crimp
Width	0.5 m – 3 m (customizable up to 6 m)
Length	10 m – 30 m (or as per client requirement)

Characteristics

High Stability: The pre-crimping process locks wires firmly, preventing shifting even under vibration.

Heavy Load Capacity: Designed to withstand high impact and heavy material loads, making it ideal for mining and quarrying.

Accurate Mesh Openings: Maintains precise and uniform apertures for consistent screening accuracy.

Versatility: Suitable for both fine particle screening and heavy stone grading.

Temperature Resistance: Can withstand extreme temperatures (especially stainless steel alloys).

Easy Maintenance: Simple to clean and durable.

Applications

Crimped wire mesh is widely used across industries due to its robust nature:

Mining & Quarrying: Screening of coal, ores, stones, sand, and gravel.

Construction: Reinforcement in concrete, fencing, partition walls.

Food Processing: Sifting and filtering of grains, sugar, and other bulk solids.

Chemical Industry: Filtration of corrosive liquids and gases (Stainless steel grade).

Agriculture: Protection fences, grain drying floors.

Architectural: Decorative facades, false ceilings, and security screens.

Packaging

To ensure the product arrives in perfect condition, we adopt strict packaging standards:

Inner Packaging: Waterproof plastic film (PVC/PE) to protect from moisture and corrosion.

Outer Packaging:

• Small rolls: Woven bags or wooden crates.

• Large rolls/panels: Wooden pallets or fumigated plywood cases with steel straps for reinforcement.

Accessories: Packing list and material certificate included.

Transportation

We offer flexible shipping options to accommodate global clients:

Mode: Sea freight (20ft/40ft containers), Air freight, or Express courier (DHL, FedEx, UPS) for samples.

Loading: Standard container loading with careful bracing to prevent movement during transit.

Lead Time: 7–15 days for standard specifications; 15–25 days for custom orders.

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between crimped wire mesh and welded wire mesh?

A: Crimped mesh is woven with pre-crimped wires that lock together, offering better flexibility and vibration resistance. Welded mesh has rigid intersections created by electric fusion, which is stronger at the joint but less flexible.

Q2: How do you prevent the mesh from rusting?

A: Depending on the material, we offer galvanized (zinc coating) for carbon steel or stainless steel grades (304/316) which are inherently corrosion-resistant. Hot-dipped galvanizing provides the highest level of rust protection for carbon steel.

Q3: Can you produce non-standard sizes?

A: Yes. We accept custom orders. We can cut rolls into specific panel sizes (e.g., 1m x 2m) or produce rolls with custom widths and lengths based on your drawings or requirements.

Q4: What is the maximum width you can produce?

A: Our standard weaving looms can produce widths up to 3 meters (approximately 9.8 feet). For larger requirements, we can splice or provide customized solutions.

Q5: How to choose the right crimp type?

A: Flat Top Crimp: Best for heavy impact (mining).
Double Crimp: Provides smooth surface and precise openings.
Lock Crimp: Offers maximum stability for very heavy loads.

Q6: Do you provide samples?

A: Yes, we provide free existing samples; you only need to pay for the shipping cost. Custom samples are available but require a sample fee.
