Precision Metallic Woven Wire Cloth and Products
Woven wire cloth is a versatile material with precise specifications and properties manufactured to meet a comprehensive range of industrial, commercial, and scientific applications. With inherent attributes including, strength, durability, flexibility and malleability, woven wire cloth can be shaped, pressed, pleated, laser-cut and fabricated into precise and sophisticated custom parts and components. CFL woven wire cloth supports extensive applications including filtration and separation, fluidising, passive fire protection, noise attenuation, flow control, grading and screening, heat shielding, and aesthetic value to architectural design.
The interweaving of wires forms a metallic mesh structure, with wires running parallel to the length known as the warp, and those running along the width referred to as the weft. CFL mesh products are manufactured in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9044.
With unparalleled expertise and uncompromising quality, our weaving methods and specialist proprietary wires yield a comprehensive range of precision engineered metallic mesh structures. From micronic materials to heavy-duty durable pre-crimped screens, we serve diverse industrial markets and applications, providing expertly engineered solutions to power an ever-changing industrial landscape.
Woven wire cloth and meshes demonstrate excellent performance in high pressure and extreme temperature environments, with excellent resistance to the aggressive and physical stresses of demanding applications. Its inherent versatile properties, and robust fabric quality provides an excellent structure for precisely fabricated parts and components. Specialist materials including C276, C22, titanium, nickel and alloys 400, 600 and 825, provide excellent mechanical strength, thermal resistance and protection against abrasion, erosion and corrosion. Finished product treatments include ultrasonic and thermal cleaning processes, calendering, electropolishing, and solution and vacuum annealing.
CFL has decades of engineering experience and expertise producing world class high integrity specialised parts and components, including nuclear waste containment box filters, sparge tubes, pre-polymerisation, polymerisation and polymer melt filter candles, syngas filters, hydrogen fuel cell electrodes, flame arresters, wind tunnel flow conditioning screens, ballast water filters, spin-pack filters and regenerable filter elements and candles.
