Introduction

Welded wire mesh is the latest development in land wire product industry. The welded wire, generally called reinforcing wire, is mostly used in cement concrete work for construction of buildings, National Highway pavements, runways, dams, airports etc. It is also used for fencing purposes and for partition walls and as a safety guard in engineering workshops.


Market Potential

Welded wire mesh is used extensively in constructional work and fencing purposes. The wire mesh is made by automatic welding process, thus saving a lot of human labour and achieving uniformity in distance and quality.


Basis and Presumptions

  • The project profile has been prepared on the basis of two shifts per day of 8 hours duration each having 300 working days per year.
  • The capacity utilisation is assumed as 75% for the first year and 100% onwards.
  • Promoters contribution towards margin money is taken as nil.
  • Interest is calculated both on fixed and working capital at a simple rate of 12%.
  • Rate of machinery and equipments, raw material and other items is based upon the prices prevailing at the time of preparation of the project.
  • Break-even point is calculated at 100% capacity utilisation.
  • Building is of own

Technical Aspects

Process of Manufacture

6 to 20 wires depending on the type of mesh are fed horizontally, parallel to one another over rollers to the machine. Distance between these wires is as per design. From the machine, a cross wire overtapping the parallel wires is fed and all the joints are electrically welded. The rollers move the parallel wires further and another cross wire comes in at specified distance. The process goes on, to give a wire mesh of desired specification. The welded wire mesh is pulled out for making rolls.


Quality Control and Standards

As the product is being processed in an automatic welding machine, the quality raw material of M.S. wire or G. I. wire of standard gauges is to be used to keep the production schedule of the machine. The proper maintenance of machine is necessary from time to time. Production is done according to specifications given by the customer.
