What is Crimped Wire Mesh?

Crimped wire mesh is made in a variety of materials through crimping mesh machine, a kind of universal wire products with square or rectangular openings. Crimped Wire Mesh can be also known as the iron crimped mesh, stainless steel crimped mesh, black iron crimped mesh according to different materials.

The crimped woven wire mesh has various applications. The heavy duty crimped woven wire cloth can be used as vibrating screen in the mining, coal, crusher and other industries. The light crimped woven wire mesh with thinner wire diameter and small opening size can be used as barbecue grill mesh, pig feeding, protective fences for the equipment and stairs.

Different Weaving Method and Application of Crimped Woven Wire Mesh

Four different types weaving method of the crimped woven wire mesh.

Crimped woven wire mesh has double crimped, intermediate, flat top and lock crimped weaving method.

 Crimped Mesh

Crimped woven wire mesh is made of high quality carbon steel wire, stainless steel wire, galvanized steel wire and other materials. It has various weaving method, such as the double crimped, flat top crimped, intermediate crimped and lock crimped. The crimped woven wire mesh has square opening and rectangle opening, which has different wire diameters and applications.

Pre-crimped process

The pre-crimped weaving method can assure the accurate open area and make the structure stability and smooth.

Using the precision machine, the intermediate crimped wire is pre-crimped by the rotary dies. The pre-crimped wire can assure the spacing of the wires. When the wires are woven together, the structure can ensure the wires will lock firmly together at the intersections.

Flat top crimped

Flat top crimped, also called pressed crimped, is made from round and profiled plain weave wire. All the mesh knuckles is being on the underside. The structure is very heavy and durable. The smooth surface is the characteristic of the weaving method. This structure can allow the materials to move more freely over the screen. It is widely used in the vibrating screen.

  Crimped Mesh

Double crimped

Double crimped is also called plain weave. Different from the intermediate crimped, both the warp wire and weft wire are woven directly by straight wire. We can get a rigid construction through evenly crimp in warp and weft wire. The wires are under crimped and sprung together thus giving a tight mesh. This is used mainly with lighter wires to ensure tension in a light screen.

Lock crimped

Lock crimped is a refinement of the intermediate crimped. It can lock the wire at their position through pressed at each side of the raised wire. This structure can add the stability of the crimped woven wire mesh.

Intermediate crimped

Intermediate crimped can be divided into single intermediate crimped and double intermediate crimped.

The single intermediate crimped means the weft wire is pre-crimped and the warp wire is directly woven. The double intermediate crimped means both the weft wire and warp wire is pre-crimped and then woven together.
