Nylon mesh in the food processing industry

Nylon mesh in the food processing industry

Nylon is a synthetic resin with good abrasion resistance, high temperature resistance and chemical stability. Food grade nylon mesh is a mesh material made of nylon as the main raw material. Therefore, it is widely used in food processing industry, especially in the filter area.

Nylon filter mesh has good abrasion resistance and toughness. The strength and toughness of the food grade nylon mesh is excellent, which can withstand a lot of stretching and pressure and is not easy to break and deform. It can withstand acidic and alkaline environments with a pH value of 3-11, which is according to the Standard GB/T 5330-2003 for Sieves for the Food Industry. And it  is suitable for contact with acidic fruit juices or alkaline cleaning agents. Nylon mesh has excellent high temperature resistance. Nylon has a high heat distortion temperature and thermal stability, and can withstand use at high temperatures. Nylon filter mesh is chemically stable. Food grade nylon mesh is not easy to be chemically corroded and corrupted, will not release harmful substances, harmless to food safety. Nylon mesh is easy to clean. Because of its smooth surface, it is not easy to adhere to impurities, so it can be easily cleaned with just water or detergent.

Due to the above advantages, food grade nylon mesh is widely used in the field of filtration and screening in food processing and family life, such as: food processing and family life. Food grade nylon mesh can be used to make filtering sieves, bread baking nets, smoking nets, etc. It can be used for screening, baking, smoking and other processes of food. food grade nylon mesh can be used to make tea bags, soybean milk bags, coffee filters, etc., which can be used for making and filtering drinks in family life.

Nylon filter mesh mesh can range from 6 mesh to 600 mesh. Here are some common mesh usage for food processing usage. For example, 100 mesh van be used for homemade filtration of food and beverage such as tofu and soymilk. It filters fast and with good quality. In this way, it is often used in stores and workshops with its mass production requirements; 120 mesh is suitable for separation of skin and dregs of first fermented wine. After starting the filtration, we can use 200 mesh to fine filter again; It is durable, easy to clean, non-toxic and harmless.250 mesh can be used as a tea filter, because it is non-toxic and harmless, good value for money. Nylon filter mesh has uniform and fine execution grid pore size. It's durable and light weight, not rusty, easy to use; 400 mesh can be used to filter rust and other tiny impurities in boiling water. It has a moderate flow rate, suitable for home use; 500 mesh is a good choice for filtration of drinking water, especially for filtering bleaching powder suspended solids.

Followings are nylon mesh usage in food manufacturing. Nylon mesh cloth can be used to filter juice, separate yogurt, etc. to ensure the purity and taste of the product. Nylon mesh also can be made into sieve to do solid material classification. For example, in flour processing: 80-200 mesh screens are commonly used to remove bran, of which 120 mesh (aperture 125μm) is the standard configuration which refers to "Grain Processing Technical Specification LS/T 3201-2018". In flavoring sieving, such as pepper, a 60-mesh nylon mesh is a good choice to sieve to intercept lumps. For liquid filtration, especially for fruit juice and beer brewing, nylon mesh is the best choice because of the food grade quality. In fruit juice clarification, apple juice production are using 300 mesh nylon sieve mesh (pore size 48μm) to intercept pulp particles. In beer brewing, , the liquid is filtered through 150 mesh sieve for yeast residue after fermentation. Nylon mesh can be used in vegetable dewatering process which is not common for us to know. Screw press is equipped with 40-mesh nylon mesh belt, the dewatering rate can reach 60%-70%.

Food-grade nylon mesh is an excellent material and is widely used in food processing and household life. Its superior properties and material composition also make it widely applied in other production fields, where it has gained extensive application and recognition.
