About Crimp Netting
"HMB" Crimped Woven Wire Mesh is manufactured from high-quality ferrous and non-ferrous metals, offering versatile options for a wide range of industrial and architectural applications. It is available in multiple weaving styles, including double crimped, flat top crimped, intermediate crimped, and lock crimped. The mesh comes in both square and rectangular openings, with varying wire diameters to suit different uses.
The pre-crimped weaving process ensures precise open areas, enhances structural stability, and provides a smooth surface finish. Crimped woven wire mesh has a broad spectrum of applications: heavy-duty variants serve as vibrating screens in mining, coal, and crusher industries, while lighter versions with thinner wires and smaller openings are ideal for protective fences, pig feeding enclosures, grilled wire mesh, and equipment or stair safeguarding.
Types of Crimped Wire Mesh
Flat Top Crimped
Also known as pressed crimped, this type is made from round or profiled plain weave wire. All mesh knuckles lie on the underside, producing a robust and durable structure with a smooth surface. The flat top allows materials to move freely over the mesh, making it particularly suitable for vibrating screens.
Lock Crimped
Lock crimped mesh is a refined version of intermediate crimped mesh. Each raised wire is pressed at both ends to lock it securely in place, providing enhanced structural stability.
Double Crimped
Also referred to as plain weave, double crimped mesh differs from intermediate crimped mesh in that both warp and weft wires are woven straight. Even crimping in both directions produces a rigid, tight mesh. This type is commonly used with lighter wires to maintain tension in lightweight screens.
Intermediate Crimped
Intermediate crimped mesh comes in single and double variations. In single intermediate crimped mesh, only the weft wire is pre-crimped, while the warp wire is woven directly. In double intermediate crimped mesh, both warp and weft wires are pre-crimped before weaving, providing additional stability.
Pre-Crimped Process
Using precision machinery, wires are pre-crimped with rotary dies to ensure uniform spacing. During weaving, this guarantees that the wires lock firmly at intersections, resulting in a stable and durable mesh structure.

Exceptional Durability and CustomizationThe crimp netting features a robust spot-welded or interlocked construction, ensuring longevity across intensive applications. Surface treatment and high-quality stainless steel impart excellent corrosion resistance, while customers can opt for aperture sizes from 1/2 to 4 inches and wire gauges ranging from 2 mm to 12 mm. Standard lengths of 15 m and 30 m are available, but customization is possible for non-standard requirements.
Versatile Application and AdaptabilityDesigned principally for screening purposes, this mesh suits a multitude of industrial and filtration uses. Its adaptability extends to edge finishes, packing methods, and a variety of dimensions (width: 0.5 m to 2.5 m). Whether utilized in manufacturing, export or wholesale supply, it meets stringent industry needs with its medium to high tensile strength and thermal endurance up to 800C in SS grades.
FAQ's of Crimp Netting:
Q: How is the crimp netting installed or fitted into different applications?
A: Crimp netting is supplied in rolls or bundles for convenient handling and transport. Installation involves unrolling the netting, cutting it to the required size, and fixing it with appropriate fasteners or frames, tailored to applications such as screening, filtration, or separation.
Q: What distinguishes plain edged netting from binded edged netting?
A: Plain edged netting has unfinished edges, which are cost-effective and suitable for most installations. Binded edged netting, on the other hand, includes reinforced borders for enhanced durability and minimized fraying, making it ideal for high-wear industrial environments.
Q: When should I choose spot welded versus interlocked welding types?
A: Spot welded mesh provides additional rigidity and is preferred for applications that require structural strength and fixed mesh configuration. The interlocked type is suitable for applications needing more flexibility or when the mesh must conform to uneven surfaces.
Q: Where can the crimp netting be effectively used?
A: This mesh is designed for use in industrial screening, filtration, mining, construction, and material separation. Its corrosion resistance and high-temperature compatibility (up to 800C for stainless steel) make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Q: What is the benefit of corrosion-resistant coated stainless steel in this netting?
A: The coated stainless steel protects the mesh from rust, chemicals, and harsh weather, ensuring a longer service life and reducing maintenance, especially in demanding industrial or outdoor environments.
Q: How is the weight of the crimp netting determined?
A: The weight depends on the chosen wire gauge, mesh aperture, dimensions, and material type. Heavier gauges and tighter apertures typically result in increased netting weight. Custom requirements can be discussed with the supplier to accommodate application needs.
