Weave Types

PLAIN WEAVE WIRE CLOTH

The Plain Wire Cloth Weave is the most common wire cloth used and it is one of the simplest wire cloths. The plain wire cloth are not crimped before weaving, and each warp wire passes over/under the wires running through the cloth at 90 degree angles. The plain weave wire cloth has numerous applications.

DOUBLE CRIMP WIRE CLOTH

Both warp and shute wires are crimped at the point of intersection to keep the wires in position. The double crimp wire cloth wires are not crimped before weaving. The corrugation or depression that is crimped into both the warp and shute wires is a result of the having a plain weave pattern calls for each shute wire to pass over and under successive rows of warp wires and vice versa, like interlacing fingers.

INTER-CRIMP WIRE CLOTH

Woven wire cloth with an extra crimp in both warp and fill wire. Both the warp and shute wires are crimped with extra crimps or corrugations between the points of intersection. This technique is usually required when weaving large openings with fine wires.

FLAT TOP CRIMP WIRE CLOTH

The flat top weave consists of crimps on one side of the mesh, providing a flat or smooth side on the opposing side. The reason for this weave is that it provides less resistance in applications and also offers longer durability. The down side is the movement of some wires within the mesh. However; when filtering products, this is beneficial due to there being less clogging that can occur.

TWILL DUTCH WEAVE WIRE CLOTH

Our Twilled Dutch Weave Wire Cloth or Wire Filter Cloth, in which each wire passes over two and under two. With the exception that the warp wires are heavier than the shute wires.This type of weave is capable of supporting greater loads than the Dutch Weave, with finer openings than the Twilled Weave. It is used in applications where the filtering of heavy material is necessary.

TWILL SQUARE WEAVE WIRE CLOTH

Each warp and shute of the twill square weave wire cloth, is woven alternately over two and under two warp wires. This gives the appearance of parallel diagonal lines, allowing the twill square weave wire cloth to be used with heavier wires with a particular mesh count (that is possible with the plain weave wire cloth). This ability allows the application of this wire cloth for greater loads and finer filtration.
