Wire Cloth

Manufacturing "Broad Loom" Metallic wire cloth for formation and filtration.
We have been producing the highest quality broad loom wire cloth for over 40 years. We understand the paper making process and the related wire cloth impact in the washing, filtering and formation processes. Our creative approach to weave selection and design has been successfully used to address many specific mill requirements. For recommendations and assistance please contact our nearest facility.
We maintain an extensive inventory of over 50 various weaves in widths up to 350”, enabling us to ship most wire cloth requirements within three working days. Our seven heavy-duty looms, capable of producing over one million square feet of quality metallic wire cloth annually, are continuously replenishing stock to insure material is available when you need it. We can also accommodate custom weaves for unique applications.
All fabric is manufactured to the highest quality standards in the industry. Before weaving, all strand wire must meet many requirements, including tight chemical specifications, physical characteristics, and appearance. During the weaving process our master weavers carefully monitor the cloth to guarantee accurate specifications and consistency. Once woven, the cloth is pre-stretched to set the crimp thereby stabilizing the material. The product is inspected one last time when it is being cut to size for specific application. This quality control procedure, involving all participants in the process, assures all wire cloth delivered to your door will meet or exceed industry standards.

PureWeld, Brazed, Spot & Pin Seams

We have a new solution to end seam failure, our PureWeldTM process can extend Dandy Seam 3 to 5 times over tradition brazed seams. Yes, we still produce brazed seams using gold/nickel or silver/copper compounds, and we will continue to do so. But, think about changes in your mills' chemistry. Closed systems, and harsher "whitening" additives in recycling loops, increase unwanted chemical attacks on brazed metals. A PureWeld™ seam keeps the properties of the stainless wire cloth giving you an 'invisible' seam. Please call us for further information on how we can save you lost dollars due to downtime.
