Plastics engineering

Metal wire cloth is at the heart of countless filtration, homogenisation and other applications with solid, liquid, and gaseous media that benefit from the precise uniform structure and stability of wire cloth.

Perfection in detail: This not only applies to the filter medium itself, which covers a vast spectrum from the finest structures in the micrometre range to coarse structures. It also applies to the filters and fabricated parts into which the wire mesh is further processed, among other things, with a plastic edging.

The combination of metal wire mesh and plastics engineering poses new challenges even for experienced employees in this field, but it also offers many convincing advantages. We would be pleased to present a selection of hybrid elements.

The development of individual production systems and moulds take place in the in-house tool making of the wire weaving division. From feeding our wire mesh pieces to filling the cavities with suitable plastic to the final inspection of all fabricated parts, we have complete control over the process and can make optimisations and adjustments directly.

Depending on the product specifications, we produce hybrid fabricated parts with horizontal and vertical injection moulding machines. Due to simpler handling and lower mould costs, we tend to use vertical machines more often under suitable conditions, as the wire mesh is placed flat in the cavities, and plastic over-moulding is possible without additional fixing.
