Flexibility and sustainability

The choice of stainless steel 304, 316, or 316L, which is food-safe and corrosion-resistant, guarantees a long service life for the mesh, even with intensive cleaning. The electrolytically polished mesh also ensures minimal adhesion of product residues, which further facilitates cleanability. This is essential in an industry where regular cleaning and maintenance are required to ensure product quality and process stability.

With its combination of complete food safety, traceability, excellent cleanability (CIP/SIP), and long service life, our mesh offers an excellent solution for the food industry. It guarantees consistent product quality and process stability, even with intensive use.

Hygiene and safety

Hygiene is of the utmost importance in the food industry. Woven mesh is used in machines and processing equipment to ensure product safety. The mesh prevents contaminants from entering the end product, which is essential in an industry where food safety is paramount.

The material is easy to clean and sterilize, for example in the production of meat products or in packaging and hygienic areas. This contributes to compliance with the strict hygiene standards in the food industry.

 

Applications and Products:

Applications:

  • Filtration: Woven mesh is used to remove contaminants and unwanted particles from liquids, powders, or gases. This is essential for cleaning various substances and ensuring quality and safety.
  • Screening and Sorting: In the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, mesh is used to sort powders and granules by size, ensuring consistent product quality and efficient production processes.
  • Reactors and Process Systems: Woven mesh is used as a support medium in reactors and other process equipment, serving as a buffer layer to protect fragile materials from damage.
  • Sterility and Hygiene: Stainless steel mesh is widely used in sterile environments such as cleanrooms, where it guarantees hygiene standards and is resistant to corrosion and high temperatures.

Products:

  • Filters for liquids: Woven mesh is used to filter liquids, removing contaminants and maintaining the desired purity.
  • Powder filters: This type of mesh is ideal for removing unwanted particles from powders, with precise mesh sizes that meet industry requirements.
  • Gas filters: Woven mesh is also used for filtering gases, which is essential for air purification and industrial processes such as air and water filtration.
  • Sieve elements: Woven mesh is used as a sieve element in various production processes, such as sieving materials or separating particles based on size.
  • Support medium in reactors: The mesh is used in reactors and process equipment as a support medium, often in catalyst systems, to improve the efficiency of chemical processes.
  • Buffer layer for fragile materials: Woven mesh acts as a buffer layer in processes to protect materials from damage and ensure product integrity.
  • Hygienic mesh for sterile environments: Stainless steel woven mesh is used in sterile environments such as cleanrooms and medical applications due to its high hygiene standards and ability to be easily cleaned and sterilized.
