We also create mesh models and simulate mesh properties utilizing simulation software.
Design accuracy can be improved by simulation-based prediction in the design phase before trial weaving.
It also reduces the time required for trial weaving, evaluation, etc., and enables more timely product development.

[Examples of characteristics that can be simulated]
Mesh shape, thickness, porosity, air permeability, pressure loss, electromagnetic characteristics, etc.

Application: Sieve mesh for sifting finer powder. Mesh with smaller openings that was not available in the existing lineup.

Based on customer requests, NBC Meshtec proposed designs for weave structure and wire diameter, and developed mesh with smaller openings than conventional products using its weaving and processing technologies. The newly developed product achieves 5 µm mesh openings.

Thus, non-standard products are also available for consideration.

Application: Filter with improved filtration efficiency. Use of finer threads increases the open ratio to improve efficiency.

By using finer threads than before, only the open ratio has been increased without changing the mesh opening.
This resulted in an increased overall airflow rate and improved filtration efficiency.

In addition, by simulating airflow during the design phase, we were able to confirm the validity of the design prior to trial weaving.

The ability to predict the characteristic values of the mesh at the stage before actual weaving can shorten product development schedules.

Application: Daily commodities: “Want to change the current mesh material.” Collaboration with the thread manufacturer from the thread development stage has realized a mesh with fine polyolefin threads.

This is an example of new design and trial weaving for a customer who had been using nylon mesh and wanted to change the mesh material to polypropylene.

The existing lineup of polypropylene mesh mostly has thick wire diameters, but the customer requested a mesh with a finer wire diameter, so we worked with the thread manufacturer to develop and procure finer threads.
