Unraveling CORE’s Filter Sock Mesh: How is it Made?

CORE Erosion Control takes pride in producing the highest quality filter sock mesh on the market. Our commitment to excellence is evident in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Lordstown, OH.

Behind the high-quality filter sock mesh produced by CORE Erosion Control lies a sophisticated manufacturing process that ensures the product’s superior performance. The process begins with the selection of high-quality yarn, either photodegradable multi-filament polypropylene or 100% biodegradable cotton, depending on the desired product type. 

Each commercial-grade knitting machine is equipped with several rungs where our manufacturing team members load each spool of yarn and then tie them together. Many lines of yarn are separated by tubes and then attached to the center of the knitting machine.

Our machines are programmed to run a specific length of yarn. Once the machine is turned on, the center begins rotating and pulling yarn from each attached spool. The yarn is knitted together during this process. When the appropriate length of filter sock mesh is sewn, the machine terminates production.

The machine operator detaches the finished roll of filter sock mesh and loads it onto a pallet. Then, the process starts again.

After a full pallet of filter sock mesh is loaded, it’s hand-wrapped to secure it to the pallet before being taken to a stretch wrap system, where it is wrapped again to ensure the mesh is secure and ready for transit.

This sophisticated manufacturing process allows CORE to produce filter sock mesh that can withstand the challenges of any job site, with a variety of options for strength, length and materials.
