FDA Compliant Embossed Screen 304 Stainless Steel 0.3mm Wire 0.5mm Aperture for Food Processing
Product Spotlights
At Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd, we specialize in manufacturing high-quality woven wire mesh for demanding industrial applications. Our FDA Compliant Embossed Screen 304 Stainless Steel 0.3mm Wire 0.5mm Aperture is specifically engineered for the food processing industry, offering a reliable solution for sieving, filtering, and conveying bulk ingredients. The combination of premium 304 stainless steel, precise aperture dimensions, and a unique embossed surface ensures both durability and hygiene, meeting the strict requirements of food safety standards.
This product is designed to withstand repeated cleaning, high temperatures, and corrosive environments commonly found in food plants. Whether you are handling flour, sugar, spices, grains, or liquid filtration, our mesh provides consistent performance and long service life. The embossed texture not only adds rigidity but also reduces material sticking, improving throughput and product quality.
Below we detail the key features, technical specifications, and benefits that make this screen an excellent choice for your food processing operations.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- FDA Compliant Material: Made from 304 stainless steel, which is recognized as safe for direct food contact by the FDA. No harmful chemicals or coatings are used.
- Wire Diameter: 0.3 mm – Fine yet strong enough to maintain structural integrity under heavy loads.
- Aperture Size: 0.5 mm – Ideal for separating fine particles, removing impurities, and achieving consistent particle size distribution.
- Embossed Surface: The screen is embossed (dimpled) to increase rigidity, reduce sagging, and minimize material adhesion. This also helps in self-cleaning applications.
- Open Area Calculation: Approximately 39% open area, balancing flow rate and filtration efficiency.
- Temperature Resistance: Suitable for continuous use up to 800°C in oxidizing environments, though typical food processing temperatures are much lower.
- Corrosion Resistance: 304 stainless steel offers excellent resistance to most organic acids, alkalis, and salt solutions used in food processing.
- Customizable Dimensions: Available in rolls or cut sheets, with varying widths and lengths to fit your equipment.

Benefits for Your Food Processing Operations
- Enhanced Hygiene: The smooth, non-porous surface of 304 stainless steel prevents bacterial growth and is easy to clean with CIP systems.
- Reduced Downtime: The embossed structure reduces blinding (material blocking the openings), allowing longer production runs between cleaning cycles.
- Consistent Filtration Quality: Precise aperture size ensures uniform particle separation, meeting strict product quality standards.
- Long Service Life: 304 stainless steel resists rust and corrosion from acidic foods (e.g., tomato sauce, fruit juices) and frequent washdowns.
- Versatile Installation: Can be tensioned on vibratory sieves, rotary sifters, or flat screen frames. Available in custom sizes to fit OEM equipment.
- Cost-Effective: Compared to exotic alloys, 304 steel offers excellent value for most food processing applications without compromising safety.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What does "FDA Compliant" mean for this screen?
It means the material and manufacturing process meet the requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for direct food contact. The 304 stainless steel used is listed in 21 CFR 177.2600, and no additional coatings or additives are applied. -
Can this screen be used for both wet and dry filtration?
Yes. The 0.5mm aperture and 304 stainless steel are suitable for wet processes like juice filtering, as well as dry processes like flour or sugar sieving. -
How does the embossed surface affect performance compared to a standard flat mesh?
The embossed pattern increases the screen's rigidity, reducing sagging under load. It also creates micro-turbulence which helps dislodge particles and reduces blinding, especially in sticky materials. -
What is the maximum temperature this screen can withstand?
304 stainless steel can handle continuous temperatures up to 800°C in air, but for food processing, typical operating temperatures are below 150°C. The screen's performance is not affected by normal food processing heat. -
Are custom sizes and cut sheets available?
Absolutely. We can supply the screen in rolls (standard widths up to 1.5m) or cut to exact dimensions per your request. Custom shapes are also available upon request. -
How should I clean this mesh to maintain FDA compliance?
We recommend using hot water and mild detergents, followed by rinsing. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface. The screen is compatible with autoclaving and steam cleaning. -
Is this product suitable for use in a magnetic separator or metal detector?
304 stainless steel is non-magnetic in the annealed condition, but work-hardening during weaving may cause slight magnetism. It is generally acceptable for metal detection systems, but we recommend testing with your specific equipment. -
What is the lead time for bulk orders?
Standard lead time is 10–15 working days for quantities up to 500 square meters. Larger orders may require additional time. Please contact our sales team for exact delivery schedules.
