PTFE Open Mesh Fabric

An open mesh keeps the airflow path through the carrier instead of forcing all air over the top of the product. That matters in hot-air drying, where the underside also needs exposure to moving air.

A larger aperture opens more space between yarns, but gives small or soft material less support. Select the opening against the smallest item, its shape under heat and the direction of airflow. Mesh pitch alone does not describe open area: yarn size and coating build also affect the usable opening.

Raw fabric is the right starting point when you will cut or fabricate the final item. Repeated handling, guide contact and moving-belt duty need a finished edge or joint rather than a bare cut edge.

For a stationary panel, specify the supporting frame and fixing points. For a moving loop, choose a fabricated conveyor belt with the required circumference, edge treatment and splice.

• Use a solid coated fabric when you need continuous separation without openings.
• Use reinforced mesh sheets for removable panels that are handled repeatedly.
• Use finished mesh belts when tension, tracking and roller contact are part of the duty.
