Wire Mesh Solutions for the Food & Beverage Industry

Ferrier Wire offers wire mesh products designed for the unique demands of the food and beverage industry. From filtration and sieving to conveyor belts and protective barriers, our range of wire mesh products is versatile and engineered to meet stringent health and safety requirements in Canada and the USA.

Ferrier Wire stocks a wide range of both 304 and 316 stainless steel products. Both of these grades are suitable for the food industry and are compliant with North American regulations, however since 316 grade stainless steel provides higher corrosion resistance this grade is superior when high volumes of salts and acids are present in foods.

Applications in Food & Beverage

Filtration

In the food and beverage industry, wire mesh is essential for the straining and filtration processes. Wire mesh products can be used to efficiently filter out impurities and unwanted particles from liquids, ensuring the quality and safety of beverages and food products.

Whether it’s sieving flour, filtering oils, clarifying juices, or straining cooked pasta, wire mesh products provide precise and reliable filtration to keep your food products safe and delicious.

Processing

Wire mesh is a vital component in many food processing equipment. It is often used in conveyor belts that transport food items through different stages of production, from washing and cooking to cooling and packaging. The durability and easy-to-clean properties of our woven wire mesh make it ideal for these processes.

Additionally, wire mesh products are suitable for use in ovens, grills, dehydrators, fryers and more. Made from high-quality, food-safe materials, these products are designed to withstand the demands of various cooking and food processing methods.

Safety & Containment

Safety and containment are crucial in the food and beverage industry, and wire mesh products are here to help. We offer a wide range of wire mesh solutions for ensuring a safe working environment.

From creating protective barriers around machinery and equipment to protecting ingredients from contamination and spoilage, wire mesh products can help you maintain the highest standards of hygiene and safety in your food and beverage facility.

Grilling and Cooking

Wire mesh is an essential and versatile tool for grilling and cooking, offering numerous ways to prepare and enhance the flavour of various foods. It serves multiple purposes, from providing a secure grilling basket for small items like vegetables, seafood, and delicate meats to serving as a cooking surface for foods that might stick to grill grates, such as fish, fruit, or cheese. The even heat distribution of wire mesh ensures consistent cooking and adds a desirable char to foods.

Benefits of Wire Mesh in Food and Beverage Processing

Durability and Longevity

Wire mesh products are crafted from robust, high-quality materials such as stainless steel, specifically designed to endure the harsh conditions of food processing environments. These materials resist corrosion, abrasion, and damage from exposure to high temperatures and chemicals commonly used in food production.

Additionally, stainless steel is commonly used in the food industry as it is easy to clean and does not get contaminated by rust and other chemical reactions. Stainless steel also provides a slick, non-absorbent surface that does not trap bacteria and allow it to fester, further solidifying it as a prime material in the food industry.

Hygiene and Cleanliness

Wire mesh solutions are engineered to prioritize hygiene and cleanliness, which are critical in the food and beverage industry. Made from food-safe materials like stainless steel, nickel alloys, and copper, wire mesh is non-porous and highly resistant to bacteria and other impurities.

Its smooth surface makes it easy to clean and sanitize, ensuring that equipment can be quickly and effectively prepared for the next production cycle. This ease of cleaning helps prevent contamination, safeguard food quality, and comply with stringent hygiene standards.

Compliance with Safety Standards

Wire mesh products are designed to meet the stringent safety standards required in the food and beverage industry in Canada and the USA. These products are manufactured following rigorous industry regulations, including those set by the FDA and NSF, ensuring that they are safe for use in direct contact with food.

Compliance with these standards is essential for food processors to avoid regulatory issues, recalls, and potential legal liabilities.

Efficiency in Processing

Wire mesh products are optimized to enhance efficiency in food processing operations. Their open structure allows for optimal airflow and heat distribution, which is crucial for processes such as drying, baking, and smoking. This design facilitates faster and more uniform cooking or cooling, improving product quality and consistency.

Additionally, wire mesh is effective in filtration and separation processes, allowing liquids to drain while retaining solids, which is particularly useful in applications like frying, washing, and sorting.
