Fruit & Juice Press Filter Screen is used for separating juice from pomace in belt presses, hydraulic basket presses and cider racks with perforated stainless screens that resist acid and constant pressing loads. FDA 21 CFR is the reference cited for it on drawings, datasheets and purchase orders.
What FDA 21 CFR Means for Fruit & Juice Press Filter Screen
The dimensions in the table below are supplied to suit FDA 21 CFR. Where the standard sets requirements for the finished appliance, device or system, compliance testing of that assembly stays with its manufacturer; we supply the metal mesh part to the drawing and can provide material certificates and dimensional reports with the shipment.

Specifying Fruit & Juice Press Filter Screen Beyond the Standard
- Hole size: 0.5–1.5 mm: finer for clearer juice, coarser for higher throughput and less blinding.
- Thickness & support: Plate thickness and backing for the press force.
- Alloy: SS316 resists fruit acids and cleaning chemicals.
When Fruit & Juice Press Filter Screen Is Not the Right Choice
Not a final clarification filter — juice still needs centrifuging or fine filtration.
