Stainless steel woven mesh is a high-strength, corrosion-resistant metal woven fabric made by weaving stainless steel wires into a uniform grid. It’s widely used across various sectors due to its durability, heat and chemical resistance, and precise mesh counts. Typical materials include 304 and 316 stainless steel, which deliver excellent performance in harsh environments.
Common weave styles include plain weave, twill weave, and Dutch weave, each offering different filtration or screening characteristics.
Stainless steel woven mesh is widely used across South African industries, including:
Screening and grading in mining and mineral processing.
Separation and filtration in chemical plants.
Conveyor and processing screens in manufacturing.
Food processing filtration, drying screens, and sieving applications.
Pharmaceutical filtration and clean-in-place screens.
Decorative mesh panels, safety screens, and acoustic screening.
Reinforcement mesh and barrier screens.
Mesh screens for water filtration, animal containment, and crop protection.
Because stainless steel mesh resists corrosion from chemicals, salt air (important near coastal cities like Durban and Cape Town), and high temperatures, it is particularly suited for harsh operating environments.
When selecting stainless steel woven mesh, consider:
Mesh count refers to the number of wires per inch — higher counts mean finer openings.
Aperture size determines what particle size will be filtered or screened.
304 stainless steel – general corrosion resistance and strength.
316 stainless steel – better resistance to corrosive chemicals and marine environments (preferred in coastal regions and chemicals).
Plain weave – most common, balanced strength.
Twill or Dutch weave – finer filtration with higher strength in one direction.
Mesh can be supplied in rolls, cut-to-size sheets, panels, and finished filter assemblies, depending on the supplier’s capabilities.
