Production line and factory setup overview
A micro/small wire-weaving line converting purchased galvanized or PVC-coated steel wire into rolled diamond-mesh chain-link fence through wire-coil receiving and coating inspection, payoff, controlled feeding through matched forming dies, single- or double-wire spiral forming, interweaving, automatic length measurement, knuckled or twisted edge finishing, roll take-up and compaction, dimensional and coating inspection, strapping and traceable dispatch. Wire galvanizing and PVC extrusion are separate upstream processes.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Launch one standard security-fence roll using purchased galvanized wire—for example 2.5-3.0 mm wire, 50-60 mm mesh, 2 m width and 15-20 m roll length—subject to buyer confirmation. Screen one supported double-wire PLC machine with two payoffs, matched die set, automatic cut and knuckle/twist edge module, roll take-up/compactor, wire and mesh gauges, calibrated roll-length counter and strapping. Add wire drawing, galvanizing or PVC coating only as a later separately controlled project.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Coated-wire receiving, diameter and coating release
- Coil payoff and controlled dual-wire feeding
- Spiral forming through the selected diamond die
- Automatic interweaving and mesh advancement
- Width and programmed roll-length control
- Knuckled or twisted edge formation and cut-off
- Roll take-up, compaction and strapping
- Mesh, coating, mass and installation-sample release
Products, capacity and market fit
- Homes, farms, compounds, schools, sports grounds and industrial sites use chain-link fencing in standard rolls.
- Buying coated wire avoids the environmental and capital burden of a galvanizing or PVC-extrusion plant.
- One mesh aperture, wire diameter and roll width simplify dies, setup and inventory.
- Coating integrity, mesh geometry, edge finish and actual roll dimensions drive buyer trust.
- Galvanized chain-link fence roll - One wire diameter, mesh aperture, width, length, edge type, coating and roll-mass specification - Construction merchants, farms, compounds and contractors
- PVC-coated chain-link roll - Separate core wire, finished diameter, colour, coating adhesion and weathering approval - Sports, residential and landscape projects after buyer approval
