Perforated Metal Sheet is one of the most versatile and popular metal products on the market today. Perforated metal not only helps separate and screen solids, it diffuses light and air. If you are manufacturing a product that needs to be lighter, considering using perforated metal.
The perforated metal plate is a very special, highly utilized in industry, construction, in the manufacture of various products popular use such as garbage baskets, filters, etc. The wide variety of sizes, as well as the different openings or holes offer the user a wide range of options that will help to select the mesh precise to their needs.
Materials: The most common material types are mild steel, pre-galvanised mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass and some types of plastics.
Hole patterns: diamond, round, rectangular, scale, hexagonal and so on.
Features of perforated metal compared with expanded metal: expanded metal is similar to perforated metal, but it has been cut, rather than punched, and stretched into a shaped framework. Materials out of which expanded metal is made include sheets of steel, stainless steel, aluminum, tin, copper and plastic. Flattened expanded metal has been cold rolled to reduce thickness and increase surface smoothness. Using expanded metal is an ecologically-minded approach, as it is elaborated from discarded raw material. Expanded metal is basically transparent, has high resistance and excellent mechanical properties and is an excellent conductor. Expanded metal can be made out of non-metal products such as plastic, which then makes it an insulator.
Applications: Perforated metal is used in insulating the sound in the municifal facilities, such as highway and railroad, the material of the ceiling and wall to absor the sound, good shelves in the market, decorative exhibiting and selling platform, ventilate of grain depot. It is a valuable material for processes of filtration, separation, equalization, compensation, among others. The metal plates are used for separation of grains, food, refrigeration, heating and air conditioning, grindings, laboratories, etc.
