High-Tension Bolting Cloth
Precision square mesh with maximized open area and high tensile resilience for sifting, dry classification, and screen printing.
Wedge Wire Hybrid Combinations
Combining heavy-gauge support profile wires with precision woven cloth for heavy dewatering, intake filtration, and rotary drums.
Market Grade Precision Plain
Tight-tolerance industrial plain weave configurations conforming to ASTM E2016 and ISO 9044 standards for general separation.
Specialty Weave Technologies
From precision micron Dutch weaves to diffusion-bonded sintered laminates and V-wire configurations, explore our engineered wire mesh geometries tailored for demanding industrial separation.
Reverse Dutch Weave
Constructed with heavier, tightly packed warp wires and thinner weft wires driven closely together. This inverted geometric configuration yields high tensile resistance along the length of the roll, ideal for continuous pressure belt filters and horizontal screening.
Key Performance Characteristics
- High mechanical strength prevents roll elongation under continuous belt tension
- Rigid wire structure resists blinding and localized deformation
- Precise aperture consistency even under high differential pressures (ΔP)
Primary Applications
- Polymer melt continuous filtration ribbon belts
- Extruder screen changers in plastic recycling
- High-pressure liquid clarification filters

Weave Technology Comparison Matrix
Select the optimal geometry tailored to your pressure, particle size, and cleanability demands.
Constructed with heavier, tightly packed warp wires and thinner weft wires driven closely together. This inverted geometric configuration yields high tensile resistance along the length of the roll, ideal for continuous pressure belt filters and horizontal screening.
Combines twill weaving pattern with Dutch wire packing, where warp and weft wires pass over two and under two wires. Creates zero straight-through light pathways, forming a tortuous capillary pore matrix for absolute micro-particulate retention.
Characterized by thin, uniform wire diameters woven in a balanced square mesh. Offers substantially higher percentage open area than standard market grade wire cloth, enabling maximum flow velocity and fast particulate classification.
The most widely specified industrial standard wire mesh. Woven with proportional wire diameter to aperture ratios in plain or twilled square patterns, providing a robust balance of structural resilience, wear resistance, and cost efficiency.
A monolithic filtration plate composed of 2 to 7 layers of wire mesh diffusion-bonded under vacuum at elevated temperatures. Combines fine filter control layers, protective scrims, and heavy drainage/support grids into a single unyielding composite.
Features precision V-shaped wire profiles welded onto internal support rods. The two-point contact slot configuration produces an expanding relief angle, virtually preventing particulate entrapment and maximizing automated continuous self-cleaning efficiency.
