Like the MINIMESH® SPW-S, the MINIMESH® RPD-S Reverse Plain Dutch Weave is a plain weave filter mesh, but has a reversed wire diameter arrangement. Thin warp wires are positioned close to each other and the thicker weft wire is woven in at a defined distance. The resulting higher strength in the warp direction makes MINIMESH® RPD-S popular for use as a filter belt. Moreover this versatile reverse plain Dutch weave is used in applications requiring specific acoustic properties, mechanical robustness and high throughput for filtration.
