Pre-crimped Weave Styles of Wire Cloth Weaving
Pre-crimped wire cloth has very accurate openings and is woven much tighter than plain weave. It is typically preferred for vibrating screens and many other applications where sizing is critical.
Square opening Space Screen in 10 mesh and coarser are typically woven of pre-crimped wires.

Flat-TopImproves material flow with a much smoother, flatter surface than other weaves. Lock weave provides a longer wear life and maintains accurate openings. |

Triple ShootLong openings will keep sticky or wet material flowing freely. Weave holds wires securely yet permits slight vibration to keep openings clear. |

Intermediate CrimpWhen open area is important. Extra crimps between the intersections provide a more rigid weave and provide locking and tightness for light wires in relation to the large openings. |
