Characteristics Expanded metal sheet

One of the benefits from the manufacturing of expanded metal is that the sheet retains its structural integrity because it has not undergone the stress of having shapes punched in it (like perforated sheet), and the mesh-like pattern will not unravel (like woven mesh can do). Expanded metal has been stretched rather than punched, reducing scrap metal waste; making it cost-effective. The main considerations when using expanded metal will be the chosen thickness and strand dimensions (weight and structural [...]

Manufacturing Process expanded

Expanded metal sheet is made by first creating multiple slits in the sheet, and then stretching the sheet. The stretching creates a unique diamond pattern opening with one of the strands protruding at a slight angle. These raised strands can be flattened later in the process if desired. As you can see this process creates no waste (thus keeping down production costs) and it can add structural strength to the product. Perforated metal sheet perforated Perforated metal sheet is a product that [...]

Flat Wire MANY VARIETIES FOR MANY APPLICATIONS

Standard weight and heavy duty variants are available and include 1″ x 1″, 1/2″ x 1″, and modified 1/2″ x 1″ mesh designation. A true 1/2″ x 1/2″ construction is available in standard weight. All flat wire conveyor belts over 60″ wide have their pickets tack welded to the rods to stop the pickets from narrowing when the belts are operated under high tension or at high speeds. See the technical bulletin for further information.
