Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd, based in Hengshui, Hebei, China, proudly presents our Expanded Metal Protective Screen for Machinery Safety Guard made from 2mm galvanized steel. This heavy-duty safety barrier is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of industrial environments, providing reliable protection for operators and equipment. With years of expertise in metal mesh manufacturing, we deliver a product that combines strength, durability, and precise airflow visibility.
Our expanded metal screen is manufactured through a process of slitting and stretching a solid sheet of galvanized steel, creating a uniform pattern of diamond-shaped openings without any waste. This results in a lightweight yet extremely rigid structure that withstands impacts, punctures, and corrosion. Ideal for use as machine guards, safety enclosures, and protective barriers, this screen ensures compliance with workplace safety standards while maintaining excellent ventilation and visibility.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Material: High-quality galvanized steel (hot-dip galvanized) – superior corrosion resistance.
- Thickness: 2mm (nominal) – robust for heavy machinery protection.
- Mesh Pattern: Diamond-shaped openings, available in various sizes (e.g., 25×50mm, 40×80mm, or custom).
- Strand Width: Typically 3–5mm, providing a sturdy grip and structural integrity.
- Sheet Size: Customizable to fit your machinery – standard widths up to 2m, lengths up to 6m.
- Edge Treatment: Options include flattened edges for safe handling, or welded frames for added rigidity.
- Finish: Smooth galvanized surface – no sharp burrs, safe for frequent contact.
- Weight: Approximately 8–12 kg per square meter (depending on opening size).
Advantages Over Traditional Safety Screens
- Superior Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Expanded metal is lighter than solid steel sheets but offers comparable impact resistance, reducing load on machinery frames.
- Excellent Ventilation & Visibility: The open area allows air circulation and clear sightlines, essential for monitoring machine operations.
- Easy Installation: Can be cut, welded, or bolted directly to machine frames. Pre-drilled holes or mounting brackets are available.
- Low Maintenance: Galvanized coating prevents rust even in humid or harsh environments, saving time and replacement costs.
- Cost-Effective: No material waste during production, and the durable nature extends service life.
- Customizable: We can adjust mesh size, thickness, and sheet dimensions to match your specific machinery guard requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the difference between expanded metal and welded wire mesh?
A: Expanded metal is made from a single sheet of metal that is slit and stretched, creating a seamless, rigid structure with no joints that can fail. Welded wire mesh has intersections that are welded and may be weaker under impact. Expanded metal is generally stronger and more resistant to deformation. -
Q: Can the screen be cut to my exact machine dimensions?
A: Yes, we offer custom cutting to your specified width and length. We can also provide pre-drilled holes or mounting flanges for easy installation. Please provide your requirements in the inquiry. -
Q: Is the galvanized coating suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes, hot-dip galvanized steel provides excellent protection against corrosion in outdoor and humid environments. However, for extremely corrosive conditions (e.g., marine or chemical exposure), we can recommend additional coatings like PVC or epoxy. -
Q: What is the typical mesh opening size for machinery safety guards?
A: The opening size depends on the level of protection required. For machine guarding, common sizes are 25×50mm, 40×80mm, or 50×100mm. Smaller openings are used where fingers or tools must be prevented from entering. We can advise based on your machinery. -
Q: How do I install the expanded metal screen on my machine?
A: Installation can be done by welding, bolting, or using brackets. We can provide edge channels or frames for a cleaner finish. Our team can supply installation guidelines and recommend fasteners. -
Q: Do you offer samples before bulk order?
A: Yes, we provide free samples (usually A4 size) for quality evaluation. You only need to pay for shipping. Contact us with your address and mesh requirements. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity?
A: For standard sizes, the minimum order is 10 square meters. For custom sizes, please inquire; we can often accommodate smaller quantities for trial orders. -
Q: How long does delivery take?
A: Typically, production takes 7–15 working days after order confirmation, depending on quantity. Shipping time varies by destination. We can arrange express or sea freight.
