Heavy-Gauge Screen Mesh for Mining & Aggregate
Woven and welded wire screen cloth engineered for the punishment of crushed rock, sand, and gravel — cut and hook-formed to your exact deck. Family-owned in Hayward, CA and making screen mesh in the USA since 1938.
From the scalping deck to the fines end, your screening media takes constant impact and abrasion — and worn or off-spec openings cost you throughput and product yield. Howard Wire Cloth supplies heavy-gauge woven and welded screen mesh in carbon steel, galvanized, and stainless, cut to your deck size with hooked edges ready to tension. Whether you're grading aggregate, dewatering sand, or running a trommel, we'll help you spec the opening, wire diameter, and crimp — then back it with free samples so you can prove the fit before you commit.
Where Mining & Aggregate Relies On Wire Mesh
Vibrating Screen Decks
Crimped woven wire panels cut to your screen box and hook-formed to tension across single- or multi-deck vibrating screens.
Grading & Sizing Aggregate
Accurate square and slotted openings that hold product spec when separating crushed stone, gravel, and sand into sized fractions.
Dewatering Screens
Fine slotted cloth that sheds water from sand and frac sand while retaining fines at the discharge end.
Trommel Screens
Welded or woven panels wrapped and seamed to drum diameter for topsoil, compost, and C&D recycling screens.
Scalping & Guard Screens
Heavy-gauge top-deck cloth to reject oversize ahead of the crusher, plus welded mesh guarding for conveyors and flywheels.
Wash Plant Screening
Stainless or galvanized media that resists constant washdown and corrosion in wet classification and washing circuits.
Why Wire Mesh For Mining & Aggregate
Abrasion & Wear Life
Heavy-gauge carbon-steel wire stands up to the constant impact of rock, holding its openings far longer than light-duty media.
High Open Area Means Throughput
Crimped woven wire delivers more open area than perforated plate, moving more tons per hour at the same opening size.
Openings That Hold Spec
Consistent, accurately woven apertures keep your sized product on-spec across the full width of the deck.
Cut & Formed to Your Screen
Panels sized to your deck with hooked edges and tension plates drop in fast and cut changeover downtime.

Common Questions
Can you match my existing screen panels?
Yes. Send your deck dimensions and opening size, or ship us a worn panel, and we'll cut new cloth to size with hooked edges formed to fit your screen box.
How do I choose the right opening and wire diameter?
It depends on your target product size, feed, and whether you're scalping, sizing, or dewatering. Tell us the application and we'll help you spec opening, wire diameter, crimp style, and open area.
Woven or welded mesh for screening?
Crimped woven cloth gives high open area and tensions across a vibrating deck for sizing; welded mesh gives rigid, fixed openings better suited to trommel drums and safety guards.
Do you offer corrosion-resistant mesh for wash plants?
Yes. We stock 304 and 316 stainless plus galvanized wire for wet classification, washing, and dewatering where plain carbon steel would rust out.
How does ordering and pricing work?
Everything is quote-based and cut to size, and we'll send free samples so you can confirm the opening and wire before committing. We're family-owned in Hayward, CA and have made wire cloth in the USA since 1938.
