SS SIFTER MESH

🧰 Materials Overview

✅ SS304 (Stainless Steel 304)

Composition: ~18% Chromium, 8% Nickel

Properties:

Excellent corrosion resistance (suitable for dry or mildly corrosive environments)

Good tensile strength and flexibility

Non-magnetic in annealed condition

Applications:

Food industry (dry powders, grains)

General-purpose sieving

Plastics, cement, fertilizers, etc.

✅ SS316 (Stainless Steel 316)

Composition: ~16–18% Chromium, 10–14% Nickel, 2–3% Molybdenum

Properties:

Superior corrosion resistance, especially to chlorides and chemicals

Higher resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion

More expensive than SS304

Applications:

Pharmaceutical and chemical processing

Marine and high-salinity environments

Fine and corrosive powder separation (e.g., acids, salts)
