Five-heddle weave for heavy mechanical loads
Engineered with each warp wire crossing five weft wires in a twill satin cycle. This design produces a flat, low-friction working surface on one side and a ribbed backbone on the reverse for filtration drums, pressure leaf filters, and centrifuges.
Five-heddle weave specifications
Compare mesh counts, wire diameters, and mechanical ratings for high-flow filtration systems. Featuring smooth-surface one-side geometry ideal for cake discharge.
Five harness shafts create a smooth, planar top surface with deep drainage channels underneath.
Rectangular aperture configuration enhances hydraulic throughput compared to square plain weaves.
Asymmetric geometry prevents particle wedging, enabling uniform doctor blade scraping.

Where five-heddle weave delivers results
Its smooth single-sided surface and rectangular opening structure give you clean cake discharge and high flow under continuous operational load.
The flat, smooth top surface supports pre-coat cakes cleanly without wire entrapment, allowing effortless cake release during dry or wet discharge.
Asymmetric rectangular apertures maintain high mechanical strength against continuous drum rotation tension while resisting particle blinding.
Differential resistance during reverse flow dislodges captured solids with minimal purge fluid volume, keeping processing lines online.
Five-heddle structure withstands extreme hydraulic extrusion pressures without mesh deformation, protecting downstream gear pumps and dies.
Specialized Heavy Weave Mesh for Fine Filtration Under Pressure
Engineered with a dense five-shaft harness weave that delivers high tensile rigidity, flat drainage planes, and stable retention under severe differential pressure conditions.
