Why Choose Nafitec Sieve Mesh? Reason #2
The anti-blinding properties of Nafitec® Sieve Mesh reduce the amount of maintenance needed, improving productivity while reducing production costs!

How much of an improvement in efficiency
can you expect?

Example:Silicon dioxide

Sieve Test Conditions
Mesh type :Nylon mesh 230 mesh (/inch) Mesh Opening 67 micron
Powder :Silicon dioxide (D 50: 25micron)

These photos demonstrate the difference between Nafitec® Sieve Mesh and untreated sieve mesh after sifting silicon dioxide powder. The amount of sieve blinding on Nafitec® Sieve Mesh is much lower than on the untreated sieve mesh. This saves maintenance and cleaning time. Additionally, the powder throughput of Nafitec® Sieve Mesh is about 1.25 times that of the untreated sieve mesh.

How does it improve efficiency?Nafitec Sieve Mesh Feature

Nafitec® Sieve Mesh features NBC Meshtec’s proprietary ‘‘Nafitec®’’ technology, developed to affix functional inorganic nanoparticles to a variety of materials. When this Nafitec® treatment is applied to sieve mesh, it makes the mesh surface very difficult for powder to adhere to.

As a result, the powder passes through the sieve mesh instead of blinding it, reducing cleaning time and improving productivity. This also reduces labor costs associated with cleaning and replacing sieve screens, driving production costs down even further. Additionally, with improved productivity, powders that would have required the purchase of additional or larger sieving machines to meet production targets can be processed with existing, smaller scale machines, saving the cost of upgrading.

From the Nafitec® Sieve Mesh Development Team

I’ve heard from many people who work with sieving machines within the powder production industry. A common concern is loss of productivity due to frequent mesh maintenance and production stoppages caused by mesh blinding. Often, clogs are nearly impossible to clear, consuming a lot of time and expense. We developed Nafitec® Sieve Mesh to help solve these problems that operators and production managers face.

I believe that by using our Nafitec® Sieve Mesh, they can eliminate screen blinding, removing the need for cleaning, and reducing expenses. That can help alleviate the headache of increasing production costs.
