With the continuous innovation of architectural design styles around the world, decorative metal mesh, especially expanded metal mesh, is widely used in modern building exterior wall decoration due to its unique modern feel, transparency, and durability. DAPU recently successfully delivered a 160T heavy-duty expanded metal mesh machine to a customer’s factory in the UAE, further demonstrating DAPU’s leading position in the manufacturing of high-end expanded metal mesh equipment.
A client in the UAE is a supplier of building materials, primarily providing architectural mesh to the local market. After market research, they discovered a growing demand for expanded metal as a new building material. Therefore, they planned to introduce a new production line specifically for producing high-quality expanded metal for exterior building facades and curtain walls.
Customer needs
As this was a new project, the client investigated several expanded metal equipment manufacturers in China and outlined the following requirements for their expanded metal production line:
1. Stable and efficient punching and shearing of 3-5mm thick steel plates was required.
2. Equipment failures should be minimized to ensure continuous production.
3. Comprehensive technical support from the Chinese expanded metal machine manufacturer was required. Since this was their first time importing heavy-duty expanded metal equipment, the client required superior service support.
DAPU Solution: 160T Heavy-Duty Expanded Metal Machine
Based on the customer’s needs, the DAPU technical team recommended a 160T heavy-duty expanded metal machine. This stretching machine is designed specifically for processing medium-thick plates.
Advantages of the 160T heavy-duty expanded metal machine:
1. The precise and powerful punching and shearing system, combined with an optimized crankshaft connecting rod structure and high-quality alloy dies, can easily process steel plates 0.5-6mm thick, ensuring uniform diamond mesh holes.
2. The sturdy and durable machine body, constructed entirely of cast steel, ensures stability under high-intensity punching.
3. The machine utilizes a PLC programming control system and a human-machine interface for simple operation, precise punching, minimal manual intervention, minimal errors, and zero scrap.
4. DAPU not only provides high-quality diamond mesh machines, but also offers comprehensive after-sales support:
- We provide guidance documents such as expanded metal machine layout diagrams, installation videos, and operating manuals.
- We provide prompt online support to resolve equipment issues and minimize downtime.
- Provide overseas service support, including overseas equipment installation and commissioning, and training workshop workers.

Overseas Installation, Commissioning, and Training by Engineers
After the DAPU 160T expanded metal machine arrived safely at the customer’s factory in the UAE, DAPU immediately dispatched experienced engineers to the facility.
Over a week, our engineers arranged the equipment according to the drawings, secured the anchors, installed the equipment, and connected the electrical connections. They then meticulously inspected and commissioned every component of the expanded metal machine, from the main motor operation to the lubrication system and fine-tuned the tool clearance to ensure optimal operation.
Then, workshop operators received training covering equipment operation, mold replacement, parameter adjustment, common faults and solutions, and routine maintenance, ensuring operators could operate the expanded metal machine independently and proficiently.
After a rigorous series of installation, commissioning, and trial production, the DAPU160T expanded metal machine’s performance indicators exceeded customer expectations. The equipment operates smoothly, producing architectural exterior decorative mesh with high precision and a beautiful appearance.
Listen to customers
“DAPU not only provided us with a machine of exceptional performance, but more importantly, their professional and responsible team resolved all our concerns. This heavy-duty expanded metal machine is now part of our factory’s first production line. Its high efficiency and low failure rate give us confidence in expanding into the high-end decorative mesh market.
We hope to continue collaborating with DAPU and acquiring more expanded metal machines as we expand our business.”
This successful cooperation with the UAE customer is not only a recognition of DAPU’s expanded metal production equipment but also a testament to its global service capabilities. In the future, DAPU will continue to be committed to providing higher-quality expanded metal production equipment and more comprehensive technical solutions to customers around the world.
