Crimped Wire Mesh

Crimped wire refers to individual wire strands that have been mechanically bent into a wavy or zigzag pattern prior to being woven into mesh. The crimps create consistent, uniform openings and help the wires interlock securely at crossing points, improving the mesh's overall strength, load-bearing capacity, and resistance to distortion during handling and use.

Gemini Wiremesh manufactures crimped wire mesh in stainless steel grades (SS304, SS316, SS316L), copper, galvanized iron, brass, aluminum, and select polymers. Material selection depends on the application's corrosion resistance, temperature, and conductivity requirements, with stainless steel being the most common choice for filtration and industrial separation applications.

Standard offerings range from 2 to 200 mesh count with wire thicknesses of 0.10mm to 0.30mm, customizable down to 0.05mm or up to 1mm depending on the product. Opening sizes typically fall between 4mm and 5mm, though custom configurations are available to meet specific porosity and flow requirements.

Yes, crimped wire mesh can be cut, formed, welded, or rolled into rings, gaskets, seals, rectangular pads, and other custom shapes. The material's flexibility and malleability, including stretching capacity up to 300% in some products, allows fabrication into components for vibration damping, demister pads, and column packing.

Minimum order quantities typically start around 100 kg for standard knitted and crimped wire mesh products, though this can vary by material and specification. Rolls are commonly supplied in 30m to 50m lengths, and buyers should confirm exact MOQ and lead times when requesting a quote for custom specifications.

Crimped wire mesh is widely used in oil and gas processing, chemical processing, automotive manufacturing, aerospace, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. Common applications include filtration, distillation column packing, demister pads, vibration damping, gaskets, and EMI/RFI shielding in electrical and electronic equipment.
