Twill Dutch Weaves

The finest particle size retention possible in wire cloth is achieved by utilizing Twill Dutch Weaves. The term "Twill" indicates the warp and shute (weft) wires pass alternately over two and under two wires. The term "Dutch" refers to the use of a heavier warp wire diameter in conjunction with a lighter shute wire diameter.

In a Twill Dutch Double Weave the shute wires are driven up so tightly that there is always a shute wire above and below the warp wires, creating a weave with the warp wires completely covered. The flow-pass geometry is extremely tortuous, insuring excellent particle size retention.

Plain Dutch Weaves

Plain Dutch Weaves can accommodate high flow rates with a relatively low pressure drop. They are woven with each warp and weft (shute) wire passing over and under one wire. The shute wires are smaller in diameter than the warp wires and are driven up close together, creating a dense weave.
