Heavy-duty screening
Woven wire mesh divides into two families by wire and aperture. Pre-crimped mesh uses heavier wires locked in place before weaving, which keeps the aperture stable under load on screening and grading duty. Dense woven mesh uses fine wires at high mesh counts, including Dutch weaves, for filtration and separation. Both families are woven to order in galvanized or stainless steel on looms in Anping, China, and the crimp style — plain (double) crimp, intermediate crimp or lock crimp — is matched to the vibration and load on the screen.
Also known as: Pre-crimped mesh · Lock crimp mesh · Double crimped wire mesh · Intercrimp mesh · Vibrating screen mesh · Quarry screen · Sizing mesh
Both families are woven on the same looms and quoted together; the choice is set by the particle size, the load and the corrosion environment.

Each wire is crimped before weaving, so the wires lock together and the openings stay accurate under load. That rigidity is why pre-crimped screens are used for sizing and screening where the aperture must not move. The crimp style sets the performance: plain crimp (also called double crimp) for static screens, intermediate or intercrimp for large apertures on light wire, and lock crimp — a notch pressed into each crossing so the wires mechanically interlock — for vibrating decks where the aperture must not creep.
| Aperture | 2–100 mm square or rectangular openings |
|---|---|
| Wire diameter | 1.0–8.0 mm depending on the aperture and the load |
| Material | Mild steel, galvanized steel, or stainless steel 304 / 316 |
| Crimp type | Plain crimp, intermediate crimp or lock crimp |
| Edge treatment | C-hook, V-hook (quarry standard), or trimmed square edges |
| Panel size | 1,000×2,000 mm standard; cut to the screen deck dimensions |
| Surface | Mill finish, galvanized or polished |
| Packing | Pallets with moisture protection between panels |
Fine and Dutch weave mesh for filtration and separation.
Also known as: Filter mesh · Filter cloth · Dutch weave mesh · Fine mesh screen
Fine wire woven to a high mesh count, where the weave pattern rather than a coating determines the filtration performance. The choice between plain, twill and Dutch weave sets the balance between flow rate and particle retention.
| Mesh count | 100–635 mesh for plain and twill weave; Dutch weave from 24×110 up to 325×2300 mesh |
|---|---|
| Wire diameter | 0.02–1.2 mm |
| Filtration rating | 1–200 µm nominal, depending on the weave |
| Weave type | Plain, twill, Dutch or reverse Dutch |
| Material | Stainless steel 304 / 316 / 316L, brass, or galvanized steel |
| Standard width | 1.0–2.0 m; other widths on request |
| Surface treatment | Cleaned, annealed or passivated |
| Supply form | Rolls, discs, tubes or pieces cut to the drawing |
| Packing | Paper core with waterproof wrapping |
| Mild steel | General screening where corrosion is not a concern |
|---|---|
| Galvanized steel | Outdoor screening and wet process lines |
| Stainless steel 304 / 316 | Abrasive, corrosive or hygienic applications |
| Edge hooks | C-hook, V-hook or trimmed edge matched to the screen deck |

Corrosion resistance with fine retention.
The wires are pressed into a wave shape before weaving rather than being bent during weaving. The crimps interlock, so the crossings cannot slide and the aperture stays accurate even when the screen vibrates or carries a heavy load.
Mesh count is the number of openings per linear inch of mesh. A 200 mesh screen has 200 openings per inch, giving a finer retention than a 100 mesh screen. Wire diameter affects the actual opening size at the same mesh count.
Yes. Both are woven to order on the same equipment and are routinely combined for screening-and-filtration projects, with the mesh counts and wire grades listed per item on the order.
Yes. Screens are cut and hooked to the deck size. Provide the deck dimensions, the aperture, the wire diameter and the hook type so the panels fit without on-site modification.
In lock crimp mesh, a notch is pressed into each wire at every intersection so the crossing wires mechanically interlock rather than simply rest on each other. The aperture therefore cannot shift under vibration or heavy bed load, which is why lock crimp is the standard choice for quarry and mining vibrating screens, usually with V-hook edges.
Double crimp (plain crimp) bends both directions of wire into a simple wave before weaving; the crossings are held by friction and the wrap of the weave. Lock crimp adds a positive notch at each crossing, so the wires are mechanically locked and the opening stays accurate under continuous vibration. Double crimp suits static and light-duty screens; lock crimp suits vibrating and heavy-load decks.
