Heavy-duty Expanded Metal Mesh Machine Sold to Brazil
A Brazilian customer is one of the largest expanded metal manufacturers in the region. Their factory operates light, standard, and heavy-duty expanded metal machines, producing a wide range of expanded metal applications, including filter screens, step platforms, ceiling tiles, furniture decoration, security fencing, and building exterior decorative mesh.
Recently, the Brazilian customer received a large order for exterior decorative mesh. Their current heavy-duty expanded metal machine was experiencing low production efficiency and could not deliver the order on time. Therefore, the Brazilian customer needed to purchase two new machines to produce the heavy-duty expanded metal.

Explore RKM’s full line of high-speed expanded metal mesh machines ranging from 6.3T to 260T, designed for zero-waste high-efficiency production.
The Brazilian customer’s expanded metal requirements included:
1. The raw material should be 4-6mm galvanized sheet metal.
2. The machine needed an intelligent control system to minimize manual intervention.
3. The expanded metal machine needed to be equipped with an automatic loading system to reduce labor costs.
4. A flattening machine was required.
Based on the customer’s requirements, RKM engineers provided a 160T heavy-duty expanded metal machine solution that met the customer’s punched material specifications. As for the automatic feeding system, RKM engineers spent ten days researching and developing a hydraulic feeding system. After testing and safety inspections, it was found to be operating normally and providing stable material feeding.
Heavy-duty expanded metal mesh machine advantages:
1. The fully automated production line ensures precise punching and reduces labor costs.
2. The PLC programming control system features a user-friendly interface, enabling simple operation and precise control.
3. The use of domestic and international electronic components, such as Siemens from Germany and Schneider from France, ensures precise control and a long service life.
4. The punching die is made of alloy, which is wear-resistant and has a long service life.
5. Adjusting the material thickness and mesh size requires only adjusting or replacing the die, a simple operation that takes only 30 minutes.

After learning more about the RKM 160T expanded metal machine, a Brazilian customer was very satisfied, particularly with the engineers’ newly designed automatic loading system. The Brazilian customer had consulted with several companies, but most lacked the R&D capabilities. Only a small number of them had developed automatic loading systems, but these were not as stable and smooth as the RKM system. This was a significant factor in their choice of the RKM expanded metal machine.
