Woven Mesh
Banker Wire manufactures the highest quality Pre-Crimped Woven Wire mesh. Pre-crimped wire mesh differs from Plain weave material in that the individual wires are run through a crimping process prior to mesh assembly. Our high speed crimpers use precision cut crimping wheels that shape each wire to accommodate intersections on an infinite number of mesh specifications. Without a defined crimp, Plain woven material lacks consistency and shape which makes it difficult to work with. It can also lead to lost time and money for the customer.
The fundamental Banker Crimp styles listed below are the basis for consistent high quality rigid wire cloth. In addition to more than 900 existing tools, Banker Wire is able to design and cut new wheels in house within 36 hours. Our endless combination of Crimp, Spacing, and wire Diameter allows the customer to select a mesh that provides uncompromised results. Let Banker Wire create the right combination for your wire cloth needs.

Plain crimp (PL) is a simple zig zag crimp in which wires intersect at every available pocket.
Plain crimp (PL) is a simple zig zag style of crimping in which wires intersect at every available pocket. The smooth over, under construction of plain crimp is primarily suited for tightly spaced mesh specifications where wire formation is limited. Plain crimp is seen in all applications and can be used in conjunction with many other standard crimp styles to create custom openings in either square or rectangular patterns.

Intercrimp - I3, I5, I7...
Intercrimp is a plain crimp with wire intersections occuring only at odd numbered frequencies.
Intercrimp or Intermediate crimp is simply a plain crimp except that the wire intersections occur only at odd numbered frequencies. This widespread crimp style is most commonly used when mesh:diameter ratios are in excess of 6:1.

Flat top (FT) crimp creates a smooth top surface in which all wires are woven on a single plane.
Flat top (FT) crimp style creates a smooth top surface in which all wires are woven on a single plane. This provides a screen with all crimps on one side, eliminating high points that will lead to premature wear in high abrasion situations. Flat Top crimp style was originally created to allow the smooth flow of materials over the surface as well as providing a flat face for use as backer screens. Flat top can be variable concerning opening shape, spacing and wire diameter. It is ideal for aggregate sizing and sorting, agriculture, filtration and heat treating applications.

Lock crimp woven wire mesh yields material with superb dimensional stability.
Lock Crimp (LC) is characterized by straight sections of wire connected by a well defined "bump" at the wire intersections. Lock crimp woven wire mesh yields material with superb dimensional stability under any cutting or bending situation. Using mesh:diameter ratios of 4:1 and larger, Lock crimp is the strongest, and most consistent pre-crimped option attracting a wide variety of industries. Animal confinement, Heat treating, Detention, Aggregate sorting, and Fencing are just some of the many applications for the Lock crimp style.

Triple Shute is a specialty crimp style that creates maximum open area.
Triple Shute is a specialty crimp style that creates maximum open area. It consists of relatively long sections of straight wire connected by groupings of three Plain Crimp pockets. The resulting material has rectangular openings of very high aspect ratio. Used primarily for sizing and sorting applications, triple shute screen is most effective when high flow volumes are required. It can also manage moist or sticky substances without blinding the screen.

There are times when multiple fundamental crimp styles need to be combined.
Banker wire mesh is highly versatile to meet industry demands. There are times when multiple fundamental crimp styles need to be combined in order to produce quality mesh that satisfies the customer's specifications. Through the experience of doing, Banker Wire has studied the physical characteristics of the many raw materials and taken the guesswork out of what can and can't be crimped and woven together. The result of data collected over many years of trial and error has identified optimum weaving recipes that achieve high quality mesh that exceeds customer standards.
In addition to the weaving industries traditional crimp styles, Banker's understanding of tool making can create innovative and better functioning materials that gain competitive advantage for the customer. Call us to discuss custom weaving and tool options for your operations.
