>> Product Introduction
Stainless steel mesh is a versatile material fabricated from corrosion-resistant stainless steel wires, typically grades 304 or 316 for superior durability. Its primary function is to serve as a reliable barrier for filtering, sorting, sieving, and protecting. The mesh is available in various weave patterns and aperture sizes, allowing for precise control over particle filtration and airflow. Key applications include industrial filters, safety screens, architectural facades, and conveyor belts. Renowned for its strength, heat resistance, and longevity, it is an essential component across the food processing, mining, chemical, and construction industries.
>> Product Advantage
Our stainless steel mesh is engineered for superior performance, durability, and reliability in the most demanding applications.
1. Superior Corrosion & Heat Resistance
Crafted from premium 304 (18/8) or 316 (marine-grade) stainless steel, our mesh offers exceptional resistance to rust, oxidation, and a wide range of chemicals. With a maximum service temperature of up to 800°C (1472°F), it performs reliably in high-heat environments like furnaces or exhaust systems. This ensures a long service life, significantly reducing replacement frequency and maintenance costs in harsh conditions, from chemical processing to coastal areas.

2. Exceptional Strength and Dimensional Stability
The mesh is manufactured through precision weaving or welding, creating a robust structure with high tensile strength that resists deformation under load. This guarantees consistent aperture size and mesh stability, which is critical for accurate filtering and sizing operations. Our products maintain integrity under mechanical stress and vibration, making them ideal for heavy-duty industrial sorting screens and architectural infill panels.

>> Product Uses
1. Industrial Filtration and Sieving
Stainless steel mesh is extensively used as filter screens in oil, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries for liquid/air filtration and solid separation. Its uniform pore structure ensures precise particle retention while providing excellent flow rates and corrosion resistance.
2. Architectural and Decorative Applications
The mesh serves as stylish yet functional building facades, balcony infill panels, and interior design elements. It provides security, sun shading, and ventilation while creating modern aesthetic appearances for commercial and residential structures.
3. Food Processing and Baking
In food industry, the mesh is ideal for conveyor belts, sorting screens, and drying racks due to its hygienic properties, heat resistance, and easy-cleaning surface. It meets food safety standards while withstanding high-temperature processing environments.
4. Mining and Aggregate Industry
Heavy-duty stainless mesh screens are crucial for grading, sizing, and separating materials in mining operations. Their exceptional abrasion resistance and structural integrity ensure reliable performance in vibrating screens for processing aggregates and minerals.
5. Safety and Protection Systems
The mesh is fabricated into machine guards, safety barriers, and protective enclosures across manufacturing facilities. It provides optimal visibility and ventilation while preventing accidental contact with moving parts, meeting industrial safety requirements.
>> Product Operate Guide
When handling stainless steel mesh, always wear cut-resistant gloves to protect against sharp edges. For cutting, use appropriate tools like tin snips or a rotary cutter to achieve clean edges and prevent wire fraying. Ensure the mesh is properly tensioned and securely fastened along all edges during installation to prevent sagging or vibration. For filtration applications, regularly clean the mesh with appropriate solvents or ultrasonic cleaners to maintain optimal flow rates and prevent clogging. Periodically inspect for any deformation or damage to ensure continued performance.

>> FAQ
1. Q: What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel mesh?
A: Type 304 offers good corrosion resistance for most applications. Type 316 contains molybdenum, providing superior resistance to chlorides and acids, making it ideal for marine or chemical environments where stronger corrosion protection is required.
2. Q: How do I clean and maintain stainless steel mesh?
A: Regularly rinse with water and mild detergent. For deeper cleaning, use specialized stainless steel cleaners. Avoid chloride-based solutions. Periodic cleaning maintains appearance and prevents contaminant buildup, especially important in filtration applications.
3. Q: Can you customize the mesh size and dimensions?
A: Yes, we offer complete customization of mesh count, wire diameter, and roll dimensions to meet specific requirements. Our technical team can help determine the optimal specifications for your particular application needs.
4. Q: Is the mesh suitable for high temperature applications?
A: Our stainless steel mesh withstands temperatures up to 800°C (1472°F), making it suitable for most high-temperature environments including industrial furnaces, exhaust systems, and heat treatment processes.
5. Q: How do I safely handle and install the mesh?
A: Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling. Use appropriate cutting tools and secure all edges properly during installation. Ensure adequate support for large panels to prevent sagging or potential safety hazards.
