Function and Use of Nylon Screen in Flour Processing

As an important part of human diet, the quality control of flour processing is very important to the quality of the final product. In the process of flour processing, nylon screen is one of the key equipment, which is used for screening, filtering, impurity removal and particle size classification. With the development of material technology, nylon screen has gradually become the first choice tool in flour processing industry because of its high strength, durability and flexibility.

Function of Nylon Screen in Flour Processing

In the process of flour processing, the main functions of nylon mesh include:

Particle classification: Through the different mesh sizes of nylon screen, the processed wheat particles are classified according to the particle size, so as to obtain flour with different fineness.

Impurity removal: nylon screen can effectively separate impurities in flour, such as bran, unbroken grains, stones and other foreign bodies, to ensure the purity of finished products.

Ventilation and filtration: In the processing process, nylon screen also plays a certain role in ventilation, helping to remove excess water in flour and improve storage stability.

Nylon screen gradually replaces the traditional metal nylon screen and cotton nylon screen in these links, and its excellent performance makes the whole processing process more efficient and accurate.

Material Characteristics and Applicability of Nylon Screen 

Nylon screen is made of polyamide (PA) fiber as the main material. Compared with traditional nylon screen, nylon mesh netting has obvious advantages in physical properties and chemical stability.

1. High strength and abrasion resistance: Nylon fiber has extremely high tensile strength, which can keep the integrity of the mesh during long-term use and is not easy to be damaged by friction or high load. This characteristic makes it especially suitable for high-intensity and high-frequency flour screening operations.
2. Corrosion resistance and chemical resistance: During flour processing, some chemical additives or cleaning agents may come into contact, and the nylon screencan well tolerate these chemicals, so as to avoid affecting the service life of the nylon screenor the quality of flour due to corrosion.
3. Accurate mesh control: The mesh size of nylon mesh screencan be strictly controlled in the production process, which can meet different screening requirements from coarse powder to superfine powder. This high precision is helpful to improve the screening efficiency and the uniformity of flour.
4. Flexibility and Lightweight: The nylon screenis light and flexible, which is convenient for installation and replacement, and reduces the energy consumption and mechanical load during equipment operation.

Use and Maintenance of Nylon Screen 

In flour processing, reasonable use and maintenance of nylon screen is an important link to prolong its service life and improve production efficiency. Here are some suggestions for use and maintenance:

1. Regular inspection: During use, the tension of nylon screenand whether the mesh is blocked should be checked regularly. If damage is found, it should be repaired or replaced in time.
2. Reasonable cleaning: It is recommended to clean the nylon screenwith warm water or neutral detergent after each shift of production, so as to avoid blockage or bacteria growth caused by long-term adhesion of flour particles.
3. Avoid excessive tension: Although nylon screenhas good elasticity, excessive tension may lead to mesh deformation or material damage. Therefore, in the installation process, the tension should be ensured to be moderate.
4. Prevent contact with sharp objects: The nylon screenshould avoid contact with sharp objects when in use, so as not to puncture or cut the nylon screenand affect the screening effect and safety.
5. Control the use environment: try to avoid using nylon screenfor a long time in high temperature or strong acid and alkali environment, which may accelerate the aging of materials.
