Knitted mesh is manufactured as a flattened knitted tube of any material available as a filament (e.g. metal wires, plastics, glass fibres, carbon fibres etc.) forming a continuous strip of double layer mesh up to 1000mm wide. This mesh can then be onward processed into a wide range of specialized engineered products.
Knitted mesh can be produced in a variety of stitch patterns additionally.
Metal meshes can also be crimped in a diagonal or herringbone pattern.
This allows the free volume and specific surface area of filters to be adjusted to suit pressure drop limitations and efficiency requirements.
Wires and other filaments can be flattened to increase specific surface area and efficiency.
