STEEL/METAL WIRE SERIES
Steel and other metals are dense, tough, and generate high heat during cutting. This requires diamond wires with vacuum-brazed beads, durable rubber coating, and optimized bead density to balance speed, durability, and precision.
At Mesa Diamond, we provide a full range of Metal Cutting Wires for shipbreaking, oil platform dismantling, recycling plants, heavy demolition, and industrial cutting. Depending on your needs, our wires deliver maximum speed, long service life, or clean cutting finishes—always focused on efficiency and cost control.
The number of beads per meter (BPM) defines performance:
-
Fewer beads = faster cutting, shorter life
-
More beads = smoother finish, longer life
Our Coated Metal Cutting Wires are manufactured with specialized Vacuum Brazed Diamond Beads, widely used for:
-
Ship demolition
-
Offshore platform dismantling
-
Recycling plants (downsizing scrap for melting)
-
General steel & multi-metal cutting
Each wire in the S-Series is engineered with specific bead densities, so you can choose between speed, endurance, or balanced performance—depending on what drives your profitability.
S100 – High-Speed Wire (10.5 mm, 40 BPM)
The S100 is built for maximum cutting speed, designed with fewer beads per meter (40 BPM) to cut aggressively through even the thickest steel. It is particularly effective in ship demolition and petroleum platform dismantling, where project deadlines and productivity are critical.
Usage Areas: Shipbreaking yards, demolition contractors, and offshore cutting projects where fast throughput is the priority.
Customer Advantage: Although the lifespan of the wire is shorter, its ability to process more tons of steel per day results in higher revenue and faster job completion.
Best Choice For: Companies competing in markets where speed and cost efficiency win contracts.
S200 – Balanced Performance Wire (10.5 mm, 44 BPM)
S200 is a versatile all-rounder, providing a balance between speed and durability. With 44 beads per meter, it offers a smoother cut than S100 while still maintaining competitive cutting times.
Usage Areas: Recycling plants, industrial demolition sites, and general steel processing facilities.
Customer Advantage: The predictable cost per cut and extended service life make it a cost-effective option for operators who need both efficiency and reliability.
Best Choice For: Companies looking for steady profitability and dependable results across a wide range of applications.
S300 – Heavy-Duty Recycling Wire (11.0 mm, 46 BPM)
Engineered with a larger 11 mm bead size, S300 is built for strength, endurance, and stability. It is best suited for heavy recycling applications and large-scale demolition, where oversized steel sections must be downsized before entering melting pots.
Usage Areas: Recycling yards handling bulk scrap, industrial demolition projects, and high-stress cutting environments.
Customer Advantage: Stronger construction means fewer wire failures under heavy loads, saving on downtime, labor, and replacement costs.
Best Choice For: Businesses prioritizing durability and reliability in tough, high-volume recycling operations.
S400 – Long-Life Offshore Wire (10.5 mm, 48 BPM)
S400 is optimized for extended wire life with 48 beads per meter, offering stability, reduced stress on each bead, and dependable long-term performance. It is the go-to choice for offshore platform dismantling, where reliability, worker safety, and minimal downtime are essential.
Usage Areas: Offshore petroleum platforms, ship dismantling, and continuous industrial steel cutting operations.
Customer Advantage: Longer lifespan means fewer wire changes, higher efficiency, and lower overall consumable costs, resulting in an excellent return on investment.
Best Choice For: Companies managing complex offshore or continuous operations where reliability and safety are top priorities.
S500 – Precision & Productivity Wire (10.5 mm, 53 BPM)
S500 offers the highest bead density (53 BPM), delivering smooth, precise, and vibration-free cutting. While it is slower than the high-speed options, it reduces post-cut finishing work and provides extended wire life.
Usage Areas: Fabrication shops, recycling plants that require smaller and cleaner cuts, and demolition projects where surface quality is important.
Customer Advantage: Reduced rework and cleaner cuts lower the total operating expenses, while the long service life ensures maximum value per meter of wire used.
Best Choice For: Customers who prioritize quality, stability, and long-term cost savings over raw speed.
