Mesh Size 80x100mm Gabion Machine With Servo Motor Control System for River

Product Overview:

In gabion mesh production and civil engineering applications, maintaining consistent PVC coating quality on steel wire is essential to ensure long-term corrosion resistance and structural reliability in outdoor environments.

However Low efficiency of Mechanical machines risks project delays; uneven mesh leads to rejection; weak twists cause panel burst when filled with stones; frequent wire breaks increase scrap rate; high reliance on skilled labor raises costs.

Fully automatic double‑twist gabion machine integrating closed‑loop tension control, wire break detection, cut‑to‑length, and automatic winding. Ensures mesh accuracy and weaving strength, increasing output by three times.

Problems:

Problem

1. Low output – Mechanical gabion machines produce only 2000-3000m²/day, failing to meet large project deadlines. 
2. Mesh out of tolerance – Deviation >±5 mm leads to direct rejection by project inspectors, causing batch returns and losses 
3. Panel burst – Insufficient or loose double twists cause the mesh to tear when filled with stones, resulting in rework or even safety incidents.
4. Frequent wire break – Wire breaks every 2 hours on average, with scrap rate reaching 8%, wasting material severely.
5. High labor cost – Each machine requires 3‑4 skilled operators, annual labor cost huge, plus high worker turnover.

Causes:

  Uneven mesh – Large gear backlash in traditional machines, no closed‑loop control → significant cumulative pitch error.
· Frequent wire break – Lack of real‑time tension adjustment and break detection → wire tension fluctuations cause fatigue breakage.
· Low efficiency – Manual threading, manual coil change, no cut‑to‑length → auxiliary time accounts for >40% of total time.
· Labor intensive – No automatic take‑up or stacking system → requires manual pulling and cutting, demanding high skill levels.

Solution:

Low output --Use newest type servo gabion machine, totally automatic and easy to operate, output can be 7000-8000m2/8 hours
Mesh out of tolerance High‑-Change to our servo control gabion machine, mesh tolerance can be reduce to +-2mm
Frequent wire break --Add Infrared break sensor + real‑time tension controller → auto stop & alarm within ≤0.5 s
High labor cost --Use fully automatic payoff, cut‑to‑length, pneumatic take‑up → only 3-4 operators needed for a whole production line

Technical Parameters:

How it works

1. Payoff – Multiple wire coils are simultaneously pulled from the pay‑off stand, each with independent tension adjustment.
2. Straightening – Wire tension roller straightener and tension the wires.
3. Threading – Wires are from pay off system and go through wire tension roller then go into machine from the machine bottom
4. Twist weaving – Two iron wires twist to be hexagonal mesh, one wire from spring tube and the other wire is outside of tube
5. Production – Gabion machine weave hexagonal mesh sheet 
6. Cutting mesh – When the preset length (e.g., 2 m or 3 m) is reached, an automatic hydraulic shear cuts the panel.
7. Edge mesh sheet – Optional automatic edge machine to crimping the mesh 

8. Gbion box--Use air guy to assembel gabion box or workers  assemble gabion box by iron wire

9. Press--Use gabion packing machine to press and packing the gabion box, after packing it can transport

Applications:

· River training projects – revetment, bottom protection, groynes
· Highway slope protection – landslide and rockfall prevention
· Mining ecological restoration – tailings dam retaining walls, vegetation beds
· Hydraulic stilling basins – energy dissipation mattresses against scouring
· Coastal breakwaters – wave scour resistant structures
· Railway embankment reinforcement – slope protection and abutment stabilization

How To Choose:

1. Select parameters

· Mesh size –  You need confirm accoring your Engineering Requirements, accoridng the demands you check if it has tolerance, you can accoridng the tolerance to choose mesh size, for example demand is 80x100mm, but it show can +-5mm tolerance, then you can choose 84x105mm to reduce cost, if the demand show no tolerance, the just can order 80x100mm mesh size, need notice choose mesh size is very important or the mesh you weave can be reject. M
· Wire diameter based on tensile requirement – Use 2.2‑2.7 mm for general slope protection, 3.0‑4.0 mm for retaining walls.

2. Select Machine width

· class="lazy" src="/myres/images/load_icon.gif" data-original‑2000 – Max width 2.0 m, suitable for small hydraulic projects.
· class="lazy" src="/myres/images/load_icon.gif" data-original‑2000 – Max width 2.5 m, standard for mainstream slope protection.
· class="lazy" src="/myres/images/load_icon.gif" data-original‑4000 – Max width 3.0 m, for large rivers and seawalls.

3. Select configuration

· Basic – Auto weaving  +  mesh winding
· Upgraded –  pay‑off system( pay off stand +pulley+pay off frame)
· High‑end – Fully automatic mesh weaving + mesh cutting + mesh edge

Features / Advantages:

Automatic control system reduces manual operation

Output increase by two twice

Mesh size tolerance is small

FAQ:

Q1: Can this machine weave PVC‑coated wire?

A1: TYes. Simply use the dedicated PVC wire pay‑off stand and make slight tension adjustments. Wire diameter range (including coating): 2.5‑3.8 mm..

Q2: What is the minimum installation space required?

A2: Recommended minimum: 8 m (L) × 4 m (W) × 3 m (H). Total length including pay‑off stand and take‑up device is about 10 m.

Q3: Do you provide overseas installation and training?

A3: Yes – we can send engineers for on‑site installation, commissioning, and  operator training, or provide remote video guidance.

Q4: What type of materials does the Gabion Machine process?

A4: The machine processes wire mesh materials, typically galvanized or PVC coated wire, to create gabion baskets.

Q5: How efficient is the SUNRICH class="lazy" src="/myres/images/load_icon.gif" data-original Gabion Machine?

A5: The SUNRICH class="lazy" src="/myres/images/load_icon.gif" data-original model offers high efficiency with automated wire feeding and weaving, enabling rapid production of gabion mesh with consistent quality.
