Wire mesh offers many benefits including:
-Widest range filtration, from over 6-inch aperture down to 1-micron nominal.
-High open area/flow rate. -Closely controlled, accurate apertures.
-Smooth surface - screening surface has no sharp edges, burrs or acute angles.
-Usable under high pressure. -Flexible - ideal for forming rigid concave / convex shapes.
-High durability.
-Control of chemical/acid/ corrosion resistance using different metals. -Special aperture requirements can be met without high tooling costs.
-The weaving process uses no punching, piercing or stretching operations that create stress-induced weaknesses.
-Suitable as upper for less rigid media. -Stable under tension. -Point contact only on the screened product allows freer screening and reduced binding.
-Hygienic characteristics and cleanability are specifically suitable for the food and pharmaceutical industries.
-Corrosion, abrasion and heat resistance.
-Highly aesthetic appeal for architectural applications.
