Manufacturing Services

In the beginning… In response to a growing and increasing demanding marketplace, Zaun established Z-Mesh. It had become apparent that a supply chain that relied upon imported panels did not have the flexibility required to keep pace with the changing quantities and increasingly varied panels required by our customer base. The solution The solution to this is investment in a £3m custom made mesh welding machine. The Z-Mesh welding machine has revolutionised the way that Zaun can supply fencing systems as short runs of bespoke panels can easily be accommodated. The process of panel manufacture starts with the delivery of coils of wire. De-coilers feed the wire into straightening machines, which cut the wire to the required length, dependent on the type of panel being produced. These wire rods are now loaded into cartridges in the weld mesh machine. The vertical wires are fed down parallel channels and pass under the welding heads at which point the second cartridge fires across the horizontal wires. Precision timing and fine mechanical tolerances mean that the Z-Mesh machine can quickly produce large quantities of high quality panels. Unlike most other mesh manufacturers, the Z-Mesh set up can be changed quickly allowing production of relatively small quantities of bespoke mesh.
