Mesh, Material, Automation, Logistics

• Depending on the application, selected metal meshes like square meshes, plain dutch weaves, volumetric meshes, multilayered YMAX meshes and mesh laminates are used.
• The selected materials are, appropriate to the requirements, nonferrous metals, stainless steels 1.4301/1.4306/1.4401/1.4404 (304/304L/316/316L) and various heat-resistant stainless steels.
• All meshes are supplied in configurations and stages of fabrication, which make direct subsequent processing in automated processing equipment possible for the customer
• Customized logistics concepts guarantee prompt and requirements-based delivery allowing for the particular environmental aspects of ISO 14001

Task and Solution

Filter media made of metal wire mesh with retention rates of 1 µm nominal to 5 mm are available for filtration tasks in the automotive industry.

These filtration tasks can be found in every sector involving fluid materials, from the fuel filter and hydraulic filter right up to brake systems.

Applications in the area of airbags or in the area of exhaust gas _ are also effectively managed with specially adapted SolidWEAVE metal meshes from GKD.
