Elek Bursa

Elek Bursa

Elek Bursa wires are used in manufacturing for filtration purposes. They have excellent corrosion resistance and durability and can be used in any area where oxidation is not desired. They are made from 304 quality stainless steel wire mesh.

Technical Specifications of Elek Bursa

The number of holes (mesh) in 1 inch (25.4 mm) is used to measure the size of the holes. Elek wires ranging from 5 mesh to 120 mesh are available in the sector and are used for different applications. They are manufactured in different mesh sizes for special applications. They come in rolls with a width of 1 meter and a length of a roll. Elek Bursa is produced by weaving different types, varieties, and hole sizes or by weaving from steel spring wire. After the mesh is made based on wire diameter and aperture size, the parts that will come to the side walls of the elek machine are bent with cold-pressed DKP sheet and made ready for use.

Types of Elek and their Applications

Woven wire mesh is generally used in sand and gravel screening and washing plants, cement factories, asphalt plants, mines, fertilizer, and food industries. Steel mesh is resistant to breakage and wear, and its production is ensured to comply with applicable standards. Elek types include Square Mesh (standard) Elek, Double Wire Mesh, Rectangular Mesh, Breaking Mesh, and Reed Type Mesh, among others. They can be produced in different varieties, and custom production methods can be developed for users.

In wire mesh weaving, the twisted wires are locked in tension at the intersection points. This increases the durability of the wire mesh against dynamic forces and extends its service life. The double-sided embossed locking breaking type wire mesh is similar to the standard flat wire mesh, but the wires at the beginning and end of the intersection points are extra twisted to lock together more securely. This ensures that the pore opening of the wire mesh is maintained even after long working hours, resulting in a more precise screening process. This type of mesh is generally preferred when the pore opening is larger than the wire diameter.

The twisted wires are placed independently of each other to create square-shaped openings, which form the pore size required for the wire mesh. Because the wires are independent of each other, the shock and vibration generated by the particles passing through the mesh differ, preventing tight packing between fine materials.
