fencing, mesh-making & netting

Leading the field in fencing In the fencing field, Vitari SpA has a comprehensive range that includes machinery for chain-link fencing, suitable for sports field applications, and machines to produce hexagonal mesh for fencing or for mountain rock-fall protection purposes. This hexagonal mesh fencing can also be made into gabions for hill and mountainside consolidation. The machines for chain link fencing can also produce netting with mesh ranging from 25mm–100mm (1"–4"), using galvanised, stainless steel or PVC coated wire with a diameter of 1.5mm–4.5mm. The netting is produced in a 0.54m width, with an output of 290m² per hour in normal or compact rolls. The wire spiral length, which determines the netting width, is electronically controlled via a brushless motor. There are three machine models to produce hexagonal wire mesh of 13mm (½") to 51mm (2") widths, and two models available that make double torsion netting (suitable for gabion production) in sizes ranging from 60mm x 80mm to 120mm x 140mm.

Steel mesh for any application Established in 1975, BRCManufacturing specialises in the manufacture of steel welded mesh for the construction, mining, civil engineering and general industrial markets. BRC can offer medium to high volume production of bespoke or standard welded mesh sheets supplied, to specification, as ready-to-use product.

By replacing specific tooling, all the machines can produce different mesh sizes while productivity and output remains constant. When producing hexagonal mesh it is important to purchase a wire spiral-making machine. If, however, the main requirement is for gabion production it is necessary to add a machine for winding the gabion mesh edges around the steel frame as well as a small straightening machine for cutting the bar frame to the given length.
