Plain Woven

The most popular wire cloth weave.Each weft wire passes alternately over and under each warp wire and each warp wire passes alternately over and under each weft wire. Warp and weft wire diameters are generally the same.

Twill Weave

Each weft wire alternately passes over two, then under two successive warp wires and each warp wire passes alternately over two and under two successive weft wires, in a staggered arrangement. Twill weave is normally used to allow a heavier than standard wire diameter in association with a given mesh.

Plain Dutch Weave

While the warp wires remain straight, the weft wires are plain woven to lie as close as possible against each other in a linen weave forming a dense strong material with small, irregular and twisting passageways that appear triangular when diagonally viewing the weave.

Dutch Twill Weave

Similar to Plain Dutch weave, except that the weave is twilled, allowing a double layer of weft wires. There are no apertures in the true sense of the word as the filtrate follows a sinuous path through the depth of the wire cloth.

Reverse Dutch Weave

This is the reverse of the Plain Hollander (Dutch) weave, in that the weft wires are heavier than the warp wires.

Five Heddle Weave

Five Heddle Weave has a smooth top surface and an open lower surface. It is ideal to withstand high mechanical strain and excellent filter performance.
