Our Advantages in Processing Metal Expandido de Aço Aplanado
Precision Cutting & Stretching
Advanced manufacturing process employs high-precision cutting and controlled stretching techniques to create uniform mesh patterns across steel sheets, ensuring consistent spacing and strand thickness throughout the entire material surface.
Controlled Flattening Process
Specialized rolling equipment applies precise pressure to flatten expanded metal surfaces, creating smooth, level planes that enhance material stability and improve surface contact area while maintaining structural integrity.
Optimized Material Efficiency
The expansion process maximizes raw material usage by creating openings without material waste, resulting in a lighter weight product that maintains structural strength while reducing overall material costs and environmental impact.
