Gabion Machine Use Cases
From infrastructure to civil engineering, our gabion machines help contractors build strong, long-lasting gabion mesh.
Used by companies across India, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, they’re a trusted choice in over 30 countries worldwide.
Customized Horizontal Gabion Mesh Machine for Riverbank Protection
For a riverbank project using oversized riprap, standard mesh sizes and wire gauges weren’t strong enough.
We customized the machine with a larger mesh size (280 × 300 mm) and switched to 3.0 mm stainless steel wire to handle heavier loads.
To keep costs down without losing power, we replaced the usual servo motor with a three-phase induction motor—strong enough to twist thick wire reliably, while cutting equipment costs.
PLC Horizontal Gabion Mesh Machine for Space-Limited Projects
For a new gabion production site with limited floor space, the project demanded high-precision mesh output without bulky equipment.
We delivered a PLC-controlled horizontal machine that replaces traditional gear-pendulum drives, cutting machine size by over 30%.
To further reduce space use, we integrated a dual-tier pay-off frame for bobbins and an overhead wire straightening system, freeing up the mesh pressing zone and making the layout far more efficient.
Vertical Heavy‑Duty Gabion Mesh Machine for Emergency Projects
When urgent slope and riverbank stabilization is needed — and budgets are tight — speed and output matter most.
This mechanical vertical model delivers high-volume production at lower cost. It runs faster than horizontal machines and skips the complexity of PLC systems, making it ideal for rapid deployment in emergency settings.
PLC Vertical Heavy‑Duty Gabion Machine for Scalable Infrastructure Projects
For large-scale infrastructure and erosion control projects that require a steady supply of gabion mesh, long-term reliability is crucial.
This PLC-controlled vertical model delivers consistent, high-speed output with minimal operator involvement. Its automated control system simplifies both operation and maintenance—perfect for manufacturers looking to scale up.

Working Process of Gabion Machine
This section outlines the operating steps for the horizontal gabion making machine for your reference.
01. Main Wire Installation
Securely place the galvanized wire coil on the wire rack at the rear of the machine, ensuring the coil shaft can rotate freely.
Thread the wire end sequentially through the Wire Compression Device → Knitting Gear Set → Output Shaft.
Maintain consistent wire tension throughout the process to avoid twisting or knotting (adjust via the tension wheel if necessary).
02. Spring Wire Preparation & Installation
Secure the galvanized wire onto the spring coiler’s working shaft. Start the machine to coil into a spring shape, then stop and remove once the set length is reached.
Store the coiled spring wire vertically in the wire storage tube for later use.
During installation, ensure the spring wire runs parallel to the main wire to avoid cross-friction.
03. Machine Setup & Production Start
Set parameters per order requirements:
Start the machine to knit the first row of mesh. Manually secure it to the needle shaft.
Verify the mesh is flat and uniformly knotted before switching to continuous production mode.
04. Wire Replacement During Production
Pause production immediately when the machine alarms indicating main/spring wire depletion.
Main wire replacement: Join the new wire end to the old wire tail using a double-loop knot, then thread it back along the original path.
Spring wire replacement: Insert the new spring wire into the storage tube and secure it to the end of the old wire.
After restarting, inspect the first 1 meter of mesh for skipped wires or deformations before resuming full production.
