Electrowinning Mesh

What is Electrowinning Mesh?

Electrowinning Mesh, also known as Knitted Stainless Steel Mesh, is a porous blanket of knitted and layered stainless steel wire that is used in Electrowinning Cells.

- Can be installed in new or existing Electrowinning Cells
- Can be fabricated to fit all cathodes
- Can be reused by merely washing off the precious metal while on the cathode

Experts in the Precious Metals Industry say that knitted stainless steel mesh will last as long as 20 months before replacement is necessary.

Advantages of Stainless Steel Mesh:

Dramatic reduction in slag reduced slag loss, improved precious metal recovery and smaller melting furnace required   Knitted stainless steel mesh will last up to approximately 20 months   Flux costs reduced   Furnace Liner life extended   Dramatic labour savings  easy to install, installed only once over the lifetime of the Knitted Mesh as well as no drying or meltdown   Dimensionally stable  does not sag after a few hours of use   Consistent wire dimension  provides excellent solution flow over large surface areas   Eliminates wire in bottom of cell   Clean Handling-Operator performance no steel wool type ends and no environmental hazards   Low carbon content steel wool costs eliminated

Advantages over stainless steel wool:

Savings on labour as well as longer lasting. Consistent wire dimension allows better wash results and eliminates loose wire in the bottom of the cell. Cleaner handling with operator performance (no steel wool type ends and no environmental hazards). Dimensionally more stable.
