The production and processing process of popular materials for screen partition, wire mesh glass, mainly includes the following steps:

1. Raw material preparation

The main raw materials for wire mesh glass include glass raw materials (such as silica, sodium carbonate, limestone, etc.) and metal wire mesh (commonly used are iron wire mesh or stainless steel wire mesh). These raw materials need to be weighed according to the formula ratio, and corresponding auxiliary materials should be prepared, such as EVA film (for laminated glass) or specific adhesives (for direct bonding of wire mesh glass).

2. Glass sheet production

Glass melting: After mixing the glass raw materials evenly, melt them into glass liquid in a high-temperature furnace.

Shaping and cooling: The melted glass liquid is pressed into flat sheets through specific shaping equipment (such as a calender), and then rapidly cooled and solidified to form glass sheets.

3. Wire mesh treatment

The key step in wire mesh glass is embedding the metal wire mesh into the glass sheet. This can be achieved through the following methods:

Melt method wire mesh: First, preheat the metal wire mesh to a certain temperature, then place it under the calender. Pour the melted glass liquid from above the calender, and through the pressing action of the calender, the metal wire mesh is tightly bonded with the glass liquid. Once the glass liquid cools and solidifies, wire mesh glass is formed.

Secondary processing method wire mesh: First, complete the production of the glass sheet, then apply adhesive on one or both sides of the glass sheet. Place the pre-treated metal wire mesh (such as rust-proof treated iron wire mesh) flat on the adhesive, and then use heating or pressurization to cure the adhesive, thus firmly bonding the metal wire mesh to the glass sheet. This method is suitable for thicker glass sheets or situations requiring special wire mesh patterns.

4. Subsequent processing and inspection

Cutting and edging: According to customer requirements, cut the wire mesh glass sheet into the desired size and shape, and perform edging treatment to remove burrs and sharp corners.

Cleaning and drying: Clean the cut wire mesh glass to remove surface stains and impurities, and then dry it.

Quality inspection: Conduct quality inspection on the wire mesh glass, including appearance inspection (such as cracks, bubbles, loose wire mesh, etc.), dimensional accuracy inspection, and performance testing (such as impact resistance, heat resistance, etc.). Ensure that the product meets relevant standards and customer requirements.

5. Packaging and transportation

Package the inspected wire mesh glass, usually using plastic bags or paper to wrap individual pieces of glass, and fill the packaging box with soft materials to prevent scratches or damage during transportation. The outside of the packaging box should indicate relevant signs and information, such as "This Side Up, Handle with Care" and the thickness, specifications, and type of glass.

In summary, the production and processing process of wire mesh glass involves multiple links including raw material preparation, glass sheet production, wire mesh treatment, subsequent processing and inspection, and packaging and transportation. Each link requires strict control of quality and technical parameters to ensure the quality and performance of the final product.
