Welded wire mesh is extensively used in most fields of construction, industrial, agriculture, transportation, tunnel mining support and civil engineering. Welded wire mesh functions as concrete reinforcement, metal wire fence, animal cage, wire shelves, welded gabion boxes, and wire baskets. So, welded wire mesh manufacturing offers you a huge market and considerable profits to you. If you decide to open up your factory for welded wire mesh production, you may need to know the price of the mesh welding machine. Or if you are planning to improve the existing welded mesh machine, it is necessary to know factors on mesh welding machine price. Here, we’ll explain the factors that determine the mesh welding machine price. This will help you choose the right machine and save on procurement costs.
Mesh Welding Machine Price
Basic Parameter
Automation level
Fully automatic wire mesh welding machine price is different from the semi automatic mesh welding machine.
Fully Automatic Welded Mesh Machine
3-8mm fully automatic mesh welding machine feeds line wire from coils. The mesh welding line includes the whole production units to increase high automation and decrease labor cost for you. The final product wire mesh can be rolled or sheet for different product demands.
Semi Automatic Welded Mesh Machine
3-8mm semi automatic mesh welding machine can only feed pre-cut line wires by hand at the beginning. It costs some time and the production process is not continuous like a fully automatic reinforcing mesh welding machine. And, the welded mesh is only wire mesh panels. Panel mesh welding machine is simple than rolling mesh welding machine. Semi automatic welded mesh machines save purchasing budget for you.
Transmission Power
Considering machine design and manufacturing cost, pneumatic mesh welding machines are higher than mechanical wire mesh welding machines.
Pneumatic Mesh Welding Machine
High speed mesh welders adopt a pneumatic system for continuous production and high capacity. It achieves 100 steps per minute at most. Pneumatic mesh welders are equipped with high efficiency air cylinders and production cost is more. You can win the government bid smoothly and finish a huge order of wire mesh in time. Meanwhile, the pneumatic mesh welding machines save maintenance cost for you.
Mechanical Mesh Welding Machine
A mechanical mesh welder drives the electrodes through traditional motors and joint connections. As an old-type transmission, the motor and gear reducer links the main axis and upper beams. You can learn how to operate the mechanical mesh welding machine easily. The spot welding machine for wire mesh is lower cost compared to pneumatic machines.
Product Size
Mesh welding machine price varies according to different wire diameter, mesh apertures and welding width.
Wire Diameter
Automatic wire mesh welding machines can be customized for different wire sizes, like 3-6mm, 5-12mm. The wire mesh welder for 5-12mm requires a bigger size of welding solders and copper bars than 3-6mm. Hence, it is more expensive than a 3-6mm mesh welding machine. Welded mesh machine for 0.65-2mm is the most cheapest with the smallest welding units.
Mesh Aperture
For the same wire diameter and bigger mesh aperture, the wire mesh welder uses less welding transformers. So, the machine price is lower. You can produce wire mesh widths with different mesh sizes with wire mesh welders. The spot welding machine for wire mesh is varieing its price with different apertures.
Welding Width.
If wire diameter and perture are the same, the mesh welding machine price for 2000mm width is lower than 2500mm. The reason is that the welding units are less. The panel mesh welding machine helps you save cost for the regular welding width.
Product Application
Mesh welding machine cost also changes based on the application of steel wire mesh.
Cement Precasting
5-12mm reinforcing mesh welding machine produces welded wire fabric for precast concrete and road foundations.
Welded Fence
358 mesh welding machine manufactures wire fence panels for security and safety purpose.
Fence Mesh Welding Machine price is generally lower than machine for cement precasting.
Filtering & Sieving
Wedge wire screen welding machine is quoted for high price in all types of mesh welding machine.
Walkway & Working Platform
Heavy Duty steel grating welding machine is a huge manufacturing units with the biggest contract value.
Cable Management
Cable Tray Machine is a type of wire mesh welding machine. Cable Tray Making Machine and Hydraulic Press Brake work coordinately for production of welded wire mesh cable trays. Cable Tray is utilized in all modern building for safe and controllable wire cable management.
Ordered Machine Parts
If you place an order for different machine parts, the mesh welding machine price is distinguished.
Buy the Whole Production Line.
The main mesh welding machines normally work with auxiliary equipment for the welded wire mesh manufacturing. You can choose the whole production line at your convenience.
Only Purchasing Main Machine
You can buy the main machine when you start a business. The main machine cost of reinforcing mesh welding machine is surely less than the whole production line.
Electrics Brands
Iron wire mesh welding machine prices are changing with different options of electrical bands. You can choose it for high performance and lower price.
International Brands
Steel mesh welders are generally equipped with Panasonic PLC, Schneider air switches, and Delta inverter. You can operate the automatic wire mesh welding machine smoothly.
Domestic Brands
Steel wire mesh welder is also working with Chinese brands like innovance converter, Deli switches and MCGS HMI. In this way, you can save a lot of purchasing cost.
Order Requirement
Mesh welding machine price is also affected by some order requirements as below:
Order Volume
MOQ
When you only buy one set of mesh welding machines, the production cost can not be averaged. Its unit price is not so low.
Batch Order
It lowers the manufacturing cost when you place a batch order. If you buy 5 sets of fence mesh welding machine, you get a lower price than that of one set machine.
Machine Voltage
General Voltage
Normally, metal wire mesh welders utilize the welding transformer and power supply with voltage 3Phase 380V 50HZ in China. The factory makes tens of thousands annually with low cost for you.
Customized Voltage
You are able to design a welded mesh machine with special voltages. Customized voltage can be 220V, 400V, 415V, 440V and the welded wire mesh machine runs stably with local cable grids.
Lead Time
The wedge wire screen welding machine and steel grating welding machine are normally ready for shipment within 60-90 days. Small-type welded mesh machine can be finished in 30 days after received deposit payment. You can lower your cost for standard delivery time normally, instead of urgent shipment 15-20 days e with extra overtime cost.
Special Customization
Standard mesh welding machine cost is lower than OEM customized machines with special electrode size, and chilling method. For example, wire mesh cable tray machine is counted for different price with different product drawings.
Conformity Requirement:
Different requirements for every machine, uniform requirement for the order.
Manufacturing Cost
Manufacturing cost essentially influences the wire mesh welding machine price based on below points:
Material Cost
The standard carbon pipe and angles steel from China state-owned steel mills including Bao Steel, and Wugang Group are costly. With precision tolerance, Steel mesh welding machine prolongs its lifespan at least 10 years. Bulk purchasing and long-term order keeps the lower material cost.
Machining Cost
Machining Process
Machine parts are processed with Germany Trumpf cutting and laser bench for precision cutting work. You can also get well grinded parts with the Japan Makino workbench. After basic processing, the semi-process parts are further finished with multi procedures for precise parts. Machining operations include roughing and finishing. Machining tools include CNC lathes, machining centers, milling machines, drilling machines, boring machines, laser cutting machines. To the contrary, if all machinery components are dealt with non-precision workbench and basic procedures, machining cost is much less. From the point of view, machining cost is a key for metal wire mesh welding machine price.
