Paper and Board

The paper industry was integral to the development of weaving at United Wire and our knowledge and experience of broadloom weaving is a valued asset for many of our customers. Although broadloom cloth now has many varied uses in Architecture and Design and Industrial Processes, the main applications remain within the paper and board industries:

Cylinder Mould, Roll Cover

Metallic wire mesh mould covers used in the paper, multiply board and fibre cement industries can be supplied either diagonally seamed or in open-ended format, for thru / through dryers and moulds in the production and stock preparation areas, for suction couch roll covers, or for concentrators, thickeners and save-alls.

Our Stainless Steel 316L top and bottom covers are manufactured to customer’s specific size requirements using our pioneering Micro Plasma Seam in specifications ranging from 5 mesh Half Round to 60 mesh.
