Filter Sieves-Woven Wire Mesh Sieves with Food Grade Silicon Rubber Sealing
How is Woven Wire Mesh Made?
The intersecting wires are typically joined together by weaving. The solid wire used is usually made by progressively drawing down a metal in a series of round dies until the desired diameter has been achieved.
Woven wire mesh comes in an almost limitless amount of shapes and sizes, and a large variety of materials and metal alloys.
Woven wire mesh has an array of intersecting wires, similar to a woven cloth.
Typically, the wires are woven over and under the perpendicular wires producing a stable sheet. This pattern is known as a "Plain Weave Mesh".
Plain Weave Mesh
The most common wire weave comes with the same diameter warp and shute wires, woven in a simple over and under pattern. This style produces screens with the same mesh count in both directions.
For applications that require a more flexible sheet, a "Twill Weave" can be used.
This involves wire that is woven over 2 perpendicular wires, then under the next set of 2 perpendicular wires, and so on.
Twill Weave Mesh
Each shute wire typically passes over two warp wires and under two producing square openings. Twill weave can be made from larger-diameter wires than would be possible in plain square weave, to obtain greater strength, density, or corrosion resistance.
Woven wire mesh has no welds on them. Instead, they are fed into a machine similar to a loom which feeds a straight wire through chosen weave pattern. The wires are then bent to the reverse position, and the next straight wire is fed through the pattern. The machine continues this process until the desired dimensions are reached and the completed wire mesh sheet is then cut to the desired size.

It is important for you to know that rubber sealing on border of woven wire mesh sieves is one of our fabrication capabilities!
So are there any other fabricating capabilities for making woven wire mesh versatile available from Tec-Sieve?
The answer is yes.
In addition to our rubber sealing capability, we also have many other fabricating capabilities which are suitable for woven wire mesh panels or rolls, and these fabricating capabilities can be used to create specialized fabricated woven wire mesh products your business exactly need!
Our fabricated woven wire mesh products include, but not limited to, the following:
1. SHEARING AND CUTTING-TO-SIZE
As a full service manufacturer and exporter of woven wire mesh products, Tec-Sieve remains an industry leader in shearing and cutting woven wire mesh to size. Tec-Sieve excels in cutting-to-size all shapes and sizes of woven wire mesh. Depending upon a customer's requirements, Tec-Sieve can utilize the following cutting and shearing facilities: Plasma Cutter, Hand Shear, Foot Shear and Power Shear.
For some customers, the edging of a cut-to-size piece is critical. Tec-Sieve is able to produce the following edging on most meshes: Dimensionally Cut, Close Trim, Balanced Stubs, Raw Edge, Open/Untrimmed Edges, with or without Selvage Edge and Edge Hemming.
2. WELDING
To effectively meet the demands of a wide array of industrial users, Tec-Sieve employs a full range of welding machinery to weld various fabricated woven wire mesh parts. Many different types of welding techniques including spot, mig, tig and heli-arc welds are available at Tec-Sieve.
Our experienced fabricating technicians have the expertise and tooling to deliver a quality product as per your exact specifications.
BBQ grills, also known as barbecue wire meshes, are a typical example that perfectly demonstrates our welding capability.
Also, medicinal sieves welded with steel strips are among our fabricated woven wire mesh parts.
3. NOTCHING
Tec-Sieve is a manufacturer of industrial woven meshes for over 20 years, and it can effectively handle all of your notching needs.
Our experienced fabricating technicians have the expertise and tooling to deliver a quality product as per your exact specifications.
Crimped wire mesh panels with an overlap of sheath metal hooks are one of our notching examples.
4. SLITTING
To better meet the immediate requirements of many industrial and non-industrial users, Tec-Sieve maintains a wide range of inventories of woven wire meshes. Stock materials are available in 915mm, 1220mm and 1524mm wide x 30.5m rolls. More often, users require mesh to be slit down to an even narrower width for use in a particular application. Tec-Sieve is well equipped to handle virtually any slitting requirement; our in-house slitting machines -along with our hand-slitting techniques utilized on certain specifications -allow us to slit material to a fraction of an inch while provided quick deliveries.
5. FLATTENING
Most woven wire meshes are available in roll form - rolls that measure 30.5m in length. Due to the method by which mesh is manufactured and stored, there are times when mesh, especially course and heavy duty woven wire mesh, retains its casts and memory. In these cases, Tec-Sieve offers a flattening service for cut-to-size pieces. With special, in house machinery known as rollers, Tec-Sieve is able to flatten almost any mesh. Keep in mind that the length of any flattened piece is limited by packaging and shipping constraints.
6. STRETCHING OR TENSIONING
To smooth out our stainless steel woven wire mesh surface and make openings more uniform, the stretching or tensioning process is applied to our stainless steel woven wire mesh rolls when necessary.
Stainless steel only has less than 1% elongation, so at a reasonable tension level our stainless steel woven wire mesh rolls are able to be stretched without changing the shape of each individual opening. Instead, after stretching our stainless steel woven wire mesh rolls will become much sturdier.
Stainless steel woven wire can withstand hard conditions, even at the smaller opening sizes and thinner wire diameters.
Stainless steel woven wire can get down to a very small diameter of each wire and still be able to be stretched and tensioned without suffering any alterations to the mesh itself.
7. PUNCHING
As a specialized manufacturer of industrial woven wire mesh for over 20 years, Tec-Sieve can effectively handle all of your punching needs.
Our experienced fabricating technicians have the expertise and tooling to deliver a quality product as per your exact specifications.
