KNITted mesh

In the fields of technical wire mesh and separation technology, industry and safety technology, Rhodius KMS is one of the leading suppliers of separation products and filter modules. Knitted wire meshes are ideal damping elements to protect sensitive components from damage during operation. Rhodius has developed custom damping elements for many applications, including:

  • Engines
  • Turbines
  • Automated production machines

Our knitted wire meshes have a wide range of applications. For example, they are used in the field of environmental and process engineering, as vandalism protection in seat covers of public transport systems and in the automotive industry. We produce and develop tailor-made solutions for individual and series production, entirely according to the wishes and needs for our customers. Optimally matched, the three-dimensional knitted wire mesh ensures a high stretchability and resilience depending on the intend use.

Through a wide selection of basic materials and additives result a wide range of applications, for example:

  • Filter technology
  • Environmental and process engineering
  • Bearing and damping elements/ vibration decoupling
  • Vandalism protection
  • Silencer
  • Heat-/thermal-isolation
  • Sealing elements
  • Separation applications
  • Filling material to avoid death volume
  • EMC-applications

Production of knitted wire mesh by a machine

The knitted wire mesh made of continous wire spools is produced on circular knitting machines as a long sock of interlocking stitches. The knitted wire mesh sock is cut to size and can be folded or laid to various shapes and further processed into knitted wire elements.

Another option is to compact the knitted wire mesh into pressed parts. In order to achieve the perfect product properties, we knit several materials in parallel into combination knits if required. Our production is precisely matched to the desired application to ensure the highest possible functionality and efficiency. We deliver the goods as roll goods, cut-to-size or knitted wire elements, economical and in the highest quality.

Rhodius knitted wire meshes are made of the following materials:

  • All common steels and stainless steels
  • Aluminum
  • Special alloys (e.g. Monel, Inconel, …)
  • Titanium
  • Copper
  • Various plastics (e.g. PP, PVDC, ETFE, PFA, PTFE, …)
  • Fiber materials (e.g. glass fiber or carbon fiber)
  • Precious metal (e.g. gold und silver)
  • Nickel

In addition to the wire diameter, we precisely match the material, corrugation, and dimensions to customer wishes and process requirements.

  • Wire diameter: 0,03 mm bis 1,0 mm
  • Size of mesh: 2,4 bis 10 mm standardmäßig
  • Knitted widths: 8 mm bis 1.600 mm

Versions:
Round or flat wire
1- or more threads
uncorrugated/slanted/arrow corrugated
