Welded wire machine block mesh
Block Mesh

Welded wire machine blockmesh is our solution to produce straight spacers or bended spaces (“Z” shape profile) to be used in products like brick slab as reinforcing  or to be used as spacers for the welding wire mesh applications on the concrete floors for the civil and industrial construction and foundations.

Welded wire machine blockmesh combines the process of electro welding (through welding heads) with the cutting to the length and the shaping of the obtained spacers (in case of Z spacers) with special bending unit to the desired final shape.

The shape and engineering details of the line allow to produce high-quality spacers according to the geometrical shape and dimensions requested by the customers. The final product does not require further processing and is ready to be used on site.

Compared to manual manufacturing methods, the advantages of this kind of automatic welding wire machine is the productivity, greater flexibility and rapidity in production changes of the diameter sizes, the quality and the repeatability of the product, the limited number of operators (usually only one operator controls the whole plant) and the production and maintenance costs.

The Block Mesh machine is composed of different parts.

The first part of the machine is the feeding system. Thanks to the pay-off units and the motorized pulling drums the entry material (smooth or ribbed compact coil wire) is unwound ad pull towards the welding unit in a constant way at the right speed.

Then follow other groups, like insertion units, advancement group and straightening group that prepare and brings the longitudinal and cross wire inside the welding unit.

Thanks to a resistance electro-welding process, the longitudinal wires are welded with the cross wires. To note that the cross wires are on the same plane of the longitudinal wires in order to obtain a minimum thickness product (the axis of cross wire is positioned at the same level of the axis of the longitudinal wire).

When the dimension of the spacers is reached, a cutting unit cut it to the desired length.

After, the straight spacer obtained, is moved to the discharging and positioning unit that deposit the product on the evacuation system that transport them on the area where the operator can take the pack manually and bring it in a separate area where he can make the tying and the storage of the pack produced.

In the case of Z spacers, before the download of the product on the evacuation system, the spacers are bended by an automatic transversal bending unit.

We have different level of customization: starting from the basic solution where the machine can produce only straight spacer up to the high level where the machine can produce straight and bended spacer, two pieces (identical) at the same time.

Furthermore, for fully automate the machine, is it possible to add the automatic packaging system, that permits with no needs of operators, to tie the spacer together and to deposit the bundle of spacer over a pallet for the formation of the main bundle ready to be shipped.

This kind of machine is part of our division of special machine and obviously it can be customized upon the request of our customers based on the different shapes and dimensions of the final products (the design starts from the final product to be produced).

Due to the special final products to realize, all the technical information reported are to be considered as indicative and we suggest to contact us for further details.
