Sand-control metal meshes from GKD are the centerpiece of filtration in the production string when developing new crude oil and natural gas deposits. Precisely defined mechanical, physical, and metallurgical properties of the metal meshes, combined with end-to-end monitoring, are the prerequisites for successful use our wire meshes for filtration in mining operations and raw materials handling applications. Our wire meshes are also continuously adapted and refined using our highly developed simulation technology to satisfy the requirements at the respective deployment location. For the crude oil industry, we produce high-strength filtration meshes and precisely defined semi-finished products for further processing at the customers‘ sites, while also securing full monitoring of all properties.
