Cage expander wire mesh equipment

Our Cage Expanders produce the roundest cage bells in the industry. The secret lies in the design of our shoes. The fingers remain interlocked during the entire expansion process, which means they stay engaged with the mesh. Additional features include friction reducing synthetic slide bearings on the back of the shoe plates, and machining of moving components.
