How Is Kintted Wire Mesh Made?
Wire weavers must use specialized looms designed to handle the metallic wires used to fabricate kintted wire mesh. Warp wires in the vertical direction must be threaded through frame systems referred to as heddle frames as well as a read to ensure the mesh specification meets tight tolerance standards.
As the loom begins weaving, a small portion of wire is fed through the loom. A mechanism at the front of the loom called the front take-up mechanism winds the woven wire.
Now, at the exact moment the portion of warp wires is fed through the loom, the first set of heddle frame pulls a specific portion of warp wires up, and the second set of heddle frames pull the other portion of warp wires down.
When this occurs, a weft wire is shot between the sets of wires via a rapier band. The rapier band will then snap back to its resting position, at which point the read slams the weft wire into position.
This leaves you with the precise cross-section kintted wire mesh is known for.
At this point, the read snaps back to its original position, more warp wire is fed through the loom, and the heddle frames swap position. This cycle is repeated until the weaving process is complete.
The most critical difference when comparing kintted wire mesh to knitted wire mesh, has to do with the profile of the openings.
Kintted wire mesh is woven with rigid wires and to tight tolerances, resulting in pore openings that are relatively permanent and extremely precise. Knitted wire mesh, on the other hand, have more sleazy characteristics meaning the loop openings tend to vary in size and spacing.
Another key difference between the two media comes down to their overall formability.
While kintted wire mesh is rigid, there are processes you can apply to deep draw, roll, bend, and otherwise form the mesh to fit a specific application. That said, the knitted profile of knitted wire mesh allows it to be stretched, rolled, bent, etc., with far fewer limitations.
But what is right for me? Well, you must consider the needs of the application.
If your process requires a durable screening media that can provide precise screen/filtration for prolonged periods of time, kintted wire mesh will most likely be a better fit. However, if the formability requirements of the media outweigh the accuracy requirements, knitted wire mesh will best suit your process.

Choosing The Right Kintted Wire Mesh
Aperture Size
This determines the size of the particles to be eliminated. We offer as standard meshes from 35mm to 25 microns (0.025mm) compliant with ISO standard 4783. Where screening requires very tight tolerances, the manufacturing tolerances of the mesh must also be taken into consideration.
Wire Diameter
Selecting the wire diameter involves a number of different considerations. The thicker the wire, the stronger and more robust the mesh and the longer the service life. On the other hand, a thicker wire will reduce the open area and therefore reduce screening or sifting performance.
Reducing the wire diameter, whilst maintaining the same aperture size, increases the number of apertures within a defined surface area. Both performance and efficiency will increase.
Materials
The most popular material is stainless steel to DIN 1.4301 (AISI 304) or DIN 1.4401 (AISI 316); selected specifications are also available in chrome steel to DIN 1.4016 (AISI 430).
Mesh Dimensions
Standard widths are 1245mm or 1580mm, but depending on the weaving equipment used slight variances are common. Standard roll length is 30m, individual pieces cut to size are available.
Mesh Selection
The mesh selection, particularly with fine meshes, depends on many process details and often can only be selected by carrying out trials.
The open area is influenced directly or indirectly by the service life of the screen, this is illustrated in the following table.
Understanding kintted wire mesh
Kintted wire mesh‘s flexibility and strength stem from its unique construction, where individual wires intersect at precise angles to form a uniform pattern. This structure not only provides excellent durability but also allows for varying degrees of openness and strength, depending on the application. The steel used in making this mesh can range from bare carbon steel to high-grade stainless steel, offering different resistance levels to factors like corrosion, heat, and wear. By comprehending these characteristics, users can make more informed decisions about the type of kintted wire mesh best suited for their needs.
Routine cleaning and maintenance
Aside from regular cleaning, inspect the mesh for any signs of damage or wear that cleaning might not address. More frequent cleaning may be necessary for areas exposed to harsher conditions, such as outdoor environments or industrial settings. After cleaning, thoroughly dry the mesh to prevent any residual moisture, which can be a precursor to rust, especially in iron-based meshes. This routine care is not just about maintaining appearance; it's a critical step in preserving the structural integrity of the mesh over time.
Corrosion prevention of steel kintted wire mesh and other variants
When you choose coatings to prevent rust, consider where you will use the wire mesh. When the mesh is exposed to the elements, galvanising is a good option for outdoor use. Powder coating is better for indoor use when appearance is important. The mesh might need unique layers to last in places with lots of chemicals or extreme heat. Applying these protective coatings is part of a long-term maintenance plan.
Proper installation and handling
Correct installation of kintted wire mesh involves more than just physical placement. It requires understanding the load-bearing capabilities and the type of support structure needed for the specific application. Using proper tools and techniques during installation can prevent unnecessary strain or damage to the mesh. Additionally, educating staff or users about the correct way to handle and interact with the mesh can prevent accidental damage or misuse, which often leads to premature wear.
Regular inspections
Inspect the surface, connections, and anchor points of the mesh. It's crucial to keep all connections tight and secure in places with a lot of movement or pressure. By documenting these inspections, we can track the condition of the mesh over time. It helps us be proactive about maintenance and repairs.
