What are the commonly used filtration methods in flour mills?

The screens used in flour mills are roughly divided into the following materials:

Silk screen: It is made of a plurality of natural silk woven into silk, and then woven. It is characterized by good elasticity, not easy to relax, the hole size is not easy to be deformed, has good hygroscopicity and moisture release, and is less prone to static electricity. However, it is not wear-resistant and easy to fluff.Nylon Bolting Cloth

Nylon mesh: woven from polyamide monofilament fiber. Wear-resistant, long service life, high strength, good overall effect.

Polyester mesh, woven from polyester monofilament. High strength, not easy to deform, but slightly less wear resistance and antistatic effect than nylon mesh.

Flour mills need to consider the choice of screen: the degree of wear resistance largely determines the service life of the screen. Among all the materials currently used, nylon wear resistance is the best, polyester is only 70%, silk is the most Poor, for the screen of the same material, the thicker the wire diameter, the better the wear resistance

The filter screen selection of the flour mill is introduced through the above, you should know what to choose. The choice must be chosen to suit your actual situation.
