Nicaragua Customer Purchased 160T Expanded Metal Machine for Walkway Production
JIAKE Machinery recently completed the installation and commissioning of a 160T Expanded Metal Machine for a customer in Nicaragua. The customer specializes in the production of industrial expanded metal products and required a reliable solution to manufacture expanded metal walkway panels for construction and industrial projects.
After evaluating several suppliers, the customer selected JIAKE’s 160T expanded metal production line due to its high productivity, stable performance, and ability to process various steel materials.
Customer Background
The customer is a metal fabrication company serving the construction and industrial sectors in Nicaragua. With increasing demand for safety walkways, maintenance platforms, and industrial flooring systems, the company planned to expand its production capacity and improve manufacturing efficiency.
The primary goal of this investment was to produce high-quality expanded metal walkways with consistent mesh dimensions and excellent load-bearing performance.
Customer Requirements
Before purchasing the machine, the customer outlined several key requirements:
- High production efficiency for large-volume orders
- Stable mesh opening size and strand width
- Capability to process carbon steel sheets
- Low maintenance and long service life
- Easy operation and operator training
- Reliable after-sales technical support
Because walkway products are widely used in industrial environments, dimensional accuracy and product consistency were critical factors in the customer’s purchasing decision.

Why Expanded Metal Is Ideal for Walkway Applications
Expanded metal walkways are widely used because they offer several advantages over traditional flooring materials.
Anti-Slip Surface
The raised mesh structure provides excellent traction, reducing the risk of slips and falls in industrial environments.
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Expanded metal maintains excellent load-bearing capacity while reducing material consumption and overall weight.
Drainage and Ventilation
The open mesh design allows water, dirt, and debris to pass through, making it suitable for outdoor and industrial applications.
Cost-Effective Production
Expanded metal is produced from a single sheet without welding, minimizing material waste and reducing manufacturing costs.
Production Applications
The walkway products manufactured by the customer are used in:
- Industrial maintenance platforms
- Factory walkways
- Steel structure projects
- Power plants
- Oil and gas facilities
- Warehouses
- Construction sites
- Municipal infrastructure projects
As industrial construction continues to grow in Central America, demand for expanded metal walkways is expected to increase significantly.
