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 are woven to order in galvanized or stainless steel.
Also known as: Pre-crimped 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.
| 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 |
Typical configuration
Lock crimp, V-hook edge, 5–8 mm wire
Heavy abrasion duty on vibrating decks.
Typical configuration
Lock or intermediate crimp, stainless or galvanized
Aperture held precisely under continuous vibration.
Typical configuration
Plain or twill weave, 50–300 mesh
Removal of particulate from process streams.
Typical configuration
SS316L, Dutch weave
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.
