Plain weave wire cloth For extruder screen is woven by alternating the shute wire over and under the warp wire, creating a wire mesh. Twill weave wire cloth is woven by passing the shute wire over and under two warp wires, creating a sturdier weave. This weave allows for the use of heavier wires, producing a stronger wire mesh.

Plain Weave

Twill Weave

Both weaves are economical; with the plain weave the most common and economic to produce. Uses of wire mesh include:

• Sizing

• Particle separation and filtering

• Particulate sifting

• Safety and equipment protection.

Industries served include aerospace, automotive, construction and oil & gas.
