Slitting & Shearing We offer slitting and shearing services to deliver a perfectly cut roll or piece part to your production line, allowing you to purchase only the wire cloth that you need and have it ready for production. read more Coating & Finishes We offer premium coatings and finishes that can enhance corrosion protection, durability, aesthetic value and electrical properties of the mesh, as well as numerous other benefits. Common metallic coatings (plating) applied to wire include nickel, copper, cadmium, zinc or tin. Non-metallic coatings include epoxy, polyester, Teflon, powder coat, galvanized and hydrophobic materials. Chemical processing can provide electro-polished, anodized, passivated, or etched finishes to the surface of the material. Cleaning Many customers require us to remove oils, dirt, or debris from their wire, or wire cloth components. We offer a wide variety of cleaning methods such as vapor degreasing, ultrasonic, aqueous, or thermal cleaning. Calendering Calendering flattens the wire and reduces the thickness providing a uniform and precise material thickness throughout the mesh. This is used for applications where a controlled thickness is necessary. This process also increases the stability of the woven wire cloth. Heat Treatment We offer batch and strip/strand heat-treating using either vacuum or reducing atmospheres for the following processes: Annealing – Improves ductility (i.e. increase elongation, reduce brittleness), enhancing the formability of wire and wire mesh which allows for more consistently formed parts and less scrap. Annealing will remove the stresses created in the wire drawing and weaving processes with a full anneal or stress relief based on your specific requirements. We can also offer NADCAP certified annealing where needed for your parts. read more Welding (Tig/Mig/Resistance/Laser) We have extensive capabilities to assemble smaller filtration and separation components using automated spot, seam, and circumferential resistance welding processes. Larger filters, housing, and other components are manufactured using TIG, MIG, and Laser welding capabilities. Our processes are designed to ensure strong, quality welds while focusing on precision and repeatability. Laser Cutting Our laser cutter provides us with additional capabilities to cut precise parts for filtration components. In addition, it allows us to process small runs and prototypes where a blanking machine is cost-prohibitive.
