High-Speed Fully Automatic Expanded Metal Lath Mesh Sheet Wire Mesh Making Machine: Your Ultimate Solution for Latin American Production Challenges
In Latin America's fast-growing construction and manufacturing sectors, businesses face relentless pressure to deliver quality expanded metal mesh faster, cheaper, and with fewer errors. Manual operations and outdated machines simply can’t keep up. Discover how DAPU’s precision-engineered expanded metal machines solve these critical pain points while adapting to your local needs.
Problem: Manual machines produce only 50-80m/hour, delaying orders.
DAPU Solution:
Choose machines matching your volume needs:
Lightweight Production (0.2-1.5mm):
G10 Model: 450 RPM punching speed – fastest in class for ultra-thin materials (0.05-0.8mm).
TG10 Model: 500 RPM speed produces 650mm-wide mesh for electronics shielding.
Heavy-Duty Projects (1-8mm):
260T Model: 32 RPM optimized for 8mm steel – produces 2000mm-wide mining conveyor belts in Chile.
Case: A Monterrey auto parts supplier cut delivery times by 63% using G35 (400 RPM) for 1.5mm aluminum radiator grilles.
Problem: Traditional punching wastes 25%+ of expensive stainless steel.
DAPU Solution:
Stretch Technology: Retains 97% material with adjustable LWD (Length-Width-Diamond).
63T Model: 120mm max LWD creates large-pattern screens from 0.5-3mm sheets.
160T/A: 150mm LWD for architectural façades in Colombian hotels.
ROI Example: A São Paulo workshop saves $52,000/year on 304 stainless steel using 260T’s 200mm LWD capability.
Problem: Manual operations require 4-6 workers per shift in Argentina/Brazil.
DAPU Solution:
Entry-Level Automation:
6.3T Model: 300 RPM speed with 650mm width – managed by 1 operator.
25T/1.5: 1500mm auto-feeding for fencing rolls.
Heavy Industrial Automation:
45 Model: 3200mm max width + 30kW motor – produces jumbo construction panels unmanned.
Labor Savings: A Peruvian plant reduced staffing from 9 to 2 using 160T’s full-auto coil-to-stacker system.
Problem: Rigid machines can’t switch between thin decorative sheets and thick industrial mesh.
DAPU Solution:
Material Type | Recommended Model | Key Specs |
---|---|---|
Ultra-thin (0.05mm) | G10 | 650mm width |
Multi-purpose (1-4mm) | 160T/A | 1600mm width |
Extreme thickness (8mm) | 260T | 55kW motor |
Colombian Case: A Medellín metal artisan uses 25T/1.2 (1250mm width) to produce both 0.2mm copper jewelry mesh and 1.2mm steel security panels.
Problem: Cheap machines fail weekly in harsh LATAM conditions (dust, humidity, voltage spikes).
DAPU’s Defense System:
Dust Resistance:
45 Model: Sealed bearings withstand Bolivian mining dust.
Humidity Protection:
G35 Model: Galvanized frame survives 90% humidity in Ecuadorian coastal plants.
Power Stability:
All models include ±15% voltage tolerance – crucial for Venezuela’s grid.
Maintenance Advantage:
Blade lifespan: 6-8 months vs 2-3 months (generic machines)
