Food-Grade 316L Stainless Steel Wedge Wire Screen

Product features:

Crafted from medical-grade 316L stainless steel, this wedge wire screen offers superior corrosion resistance to acidic and alkaline food materials, ensuring no metal leaching or contamination of food products. The electropolished surface creates a smooth, non-porous finish that prevents food residue buildup, making it easy to clean and sanitize in line with FDA and LFGB standards. With a 0.5mm slot width, it provides precise separation of fine food particles, ensuring consistent product quality and reducing waste. The clamp connection system enables tool-free installation and removal, cutting cleaning time by up to 40% compared to bolted screens. Additionally, the welded wedge wire structure maintains slot width accuracy over time, avoiding particle leakage and ensuring reliable performance throughout its service life.

Product specifications:

The screen features a 0.5mm slot width, perfect for filtering 0.3-0.7mm food particles, paired with a 2.0mm wire diameter that balances structural rigidity and open area. Common standard dimensions include 600×1200mm, 800×1600mm, and 1000×2000mm, with custom sizes available to fit specific food processing equipment. It operates within a temperature range of -10℃ to 180℃, suitable for both cold and hot food processing applications such as pasteurization and cold pressing. The compressive strength of ≥45MPa ensures it can withstand moderate pressure from food slurry pumps without deformation. The electropolished surface has a roughness of Ra ≤0.8μm, meeting strict hygienic requirements. Each screen is tested for food safety compliance and comes with FDA and LFGB certifications, guaranteeing its suitability for direct food contact.

Product application:

This food-grade wedge wire screen is widely used in fruit and vegetable processing plants to separate pulp from seeds and skins during juice and puree production. It is also essential in dairy processing for filtering milk slurry and separating curds from whey in cheese manufacturing. In grain processing, it classifies fine flour particles and removes impurities to ensure product purity. Additionally, it is applied in beverage production for filtering beer wort, wine must, and syrup mixtures. The screen is compatible with belt presses, rotary filters, and vibrating screens commonly used in food processing lines. It is particularly suitable for small to large-scale food enterprises that prioritize food safety, easy maintenance, and consistent product quality in their production operations.
