I. Industry Trends in Wire Mesh Processing & Barbecue Mesh Grill Manufacturing
Wire mesh processing remains a cornerstone technology for sectors ranging from petrochemicals and metallurgy to architecture, filtration, and food-grade applications such as the rapidly expanding barbecue mesh grill market. According to Grandview Research, global wire mesh demand exceeded USD 7.8 billion in 2023 with an expected CAGR of 5.2% through 2030.
- Key drivers: Urban infrastructure, food safety/filtration, defense, and custom construction.
- Emerging trends: Precision manufacturing (CNC, laser cutting), advanced alloys, energy-efficient coating, modular grill design, anti-corrosive mesh surfaces.
While barbecue mesh grill specifically serves the food service and outdoor consumer markets, its technical demands—such as precision spacing, food-grade stainless steel, and thermal performance—mirror industrial wire mesh requirements for stability, corrosion resistance, and durability.

III. Defensive Barrier Wire Mesh Processing Workflow
The core of wire mesh processing for Defensive barrier products lies in its precise, multi-stage manufacturing process. Here’s a stepwise diagram and description:
Wire Mesh Processing Flowchart:
Raw Material Selection
(Low carbon steel / 304 SS wire rods)
→
Wire Drawing & Annealing
(Reduces diameter, enhances ductility)
→
Automatic Weaving/Welding
(Square/hex mesh; spot welded; CNC programmable)
→
Surface Treatment
(Galvanizing, PVC or powder coating)
→
Quality Inspection
(ISO/ANSI/EN standards, fatigue/corrosion/life test)
→
Packing & Delivery
(Custom pallets, recyclable wrapping)
Each major node, especially weaving/welding, galvanizing, and quality inspection, adheres to ISO 9001/14001 and EN 10223 for mesh structure and mechanical performance.
