Food Contact Products

Hygienic Fabrics & Filters has a long history of supplying a wide variety of webbing materials suitable for processing of food and dairy products.  Hygienic Fabrics & Filters also offers reusable and disposable materials and filtration products to help you produce your specialty cheese.

Filter Bags and  Replacement Tubes

Filter bags are custom-designed to be tied or clamped to the discharge chute of a product pipeline.  Filter bags prefilter product and reduce foam and splash.  Choose a bag large enough to allow product to exit faster than it enters to avoid pressure in the bag that can cause churning, product damage, and bag failure.  Choose a bag long enough to be supported by the receiving vessel to prevent the bag from ripping or slipping from the discharge line.

Filter bag and tube materials are available in micron ratings from 1 micron to 1500 microns to meet your filtration specification and are available with or without drawstrings in any size from any available material.

Following are examples of materials used:

• Flannels
• Cottons
• Bleached Sheetings
• Nylons
• Monofilament Meshes
