Precision Monofilament Mesh Bags for Dry Screening and Liquid Filtration
Skytech Ultrafab Mesh Filter Bags are woven from precision monofilament nylon, polyester, or polypropylene mesh for accurate particle separation in both dry screening on vibrating screens and gyratory sifters, and liquid filtration in bag filter housings. Aperture sizes range from 25 µm to 5000 µm with tight aperture tolerances for consistent classification performance. The smooth monofilament weave is easily back-flushed, ultrasonically washed, or mechanically shaken clean — making these bags highly reusable and cost-effective in continuous production environments. FDA-compliant and antistatic grades available.
What Are Mesh Filter Bags?
Mesh filter bags are fabricated from precision-woven monofilament fabric — a textile in which each yarn is a single continuous filament of equal diameter, creating a regular, accurately-sized opening (aperture) at every yarn intersection. Unlike needle-felt bags that rely on random fibre interception for particle capture, monofilament mesh bags provide a defined aperture size that acts as a precision sieve — particles larger than the aperture are retained, smaller particles pass through. This makes mesh bags the preferred choice wherever a precise and reproducible particle size cut-off is required in screening or filtration duty.
Mesh Filter Bags
Features and Benefits
-
Precise Aperture Tolerance:
Monofilament weave produces consistent aperture sizes to ±3% tolerance — delivering reliable, reproducible particle size cut-off in both dry screening and liquid filtration applications
-
Wide Aperture Range:
25 µm to 5000 µm aperture sizes in a single product range — from fine pharmaceutical classification through to coarse aggregate screening
-
Reusable and Easy to Clean:
Smooth monofilament surface releases retained particles easily — bags cleaned by back-flushing, ultrasonic washing, or mechanical shaking and returned to service without loss of aperture accuracy
-
Multiple Material Options:
Nylon, polyester, and polypropylene monofilament — each optimised for specific combinations of chemical resistance, temperature, and food-contact compliance requirements
-
Antistatic Grades:
Antistatic monofilament blends for dry screening of electrostatically active powders — preventing particle adhesion to mesh surfaces that reduces effective open area and throughput
-
FDA-Compliant Options:
Nylon 6.6 and polyester monofilament in FDA 21 CFR-compliant grades for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical screening and filtration applications
