Soft Annealed Stainless Steel Woven Wire Mesh Placed On Top Of The Molding Dies

Soft Annealed stainless steel woven wire mesh placed on top of the molding dies

Mould wire mesh is woven by annealed stainless steel wire.The driving force when molding pulp fiber are the metallic molds used by the manufacturer. To ensure the vacuum, pressure, and heat are evenly distributed when pressing the pulp fibers, the molds are layered in woven wire mesh.

In order to successfully mold your mesh to fit your master forming molds, the mesh must be pressed using special tooling until the desired form is achieved. As your wire mesh supplier would need to have your molding dyes on-site to form the mesh for you, creating wire mesh molds is typically done in-house or by an external fabrication company.

When it comes to longevity, wire mesh molds typically have a lifespan of 6 to 8 weeks. This is all dependent on the way you handle the mesh, specifically how you clean it.

A good rule of thumb is the rougher you are when cleaning your mesh, the shorter the lifespan.

                                                                                     
Applications :

• Mold pulp and fiber industry 
• To separate the solid fibers from the water, screening media, such as woven wire mesh, is placed on top of the molding dies.

• The wire mesh-lined dies are dunked into the slurry. As these dies resurface, a vacuum, pressure, and heat are applied to properly form the extracted pulp and fiber.

• Manufacturers use the wire mesh screen layer to ensure this heat, pressure, and vacuum are distributed evenly.
