“GREEN” Bin Liners/Parts Separators

Are you still using cardboard as your solution to lining bins or separating parts during your production process?  That material is absorbent so before you know it it is looking greasy and probably feeling very soft and unprotective.

partsep

Industrial Netting has a solution – plastic netting!  The open mesh construction allows air and fluids to flow freely.  As an added bonus – the material is washable and reusable!

partsep1

Many companies use this type of “green” netting for bin liners, tote liners, basket dividers and pallet liners.  By allowing fluids to flow freely it is also ideally suited for applications that require dipping or washing.

Protecting Your People … And Your Wallet

Protect Your People . . . MODEX SeminarProtecting your most important assets from costly injuries and damage should be a priority for warehouse and distribution facilities managers everywhere. But identifying those risks then finding the most suitable protection isn’t as easy as it sounds.

The Protective Guarding Manufacturers Association (ProGMA) can help. That MHI-sponsored group of fixed guarding manufacturers has created a Protective Guarding Checklist to help facility managers identify common hazards and solutions where guarding is needed.

Plastic Netting 101

Square MeshThe Extrusion Process

Extrusion is a continuous process, in which plastic resin pellets are melted and pushed through a die in “meat-grinder” fashion.   Strands are formed as resin exits the die.  The hot matrix is then drawn over a mandrel and into a water bath to cool the netting.

Types of Plastic Netting

There are fundamentally two different kinds of extruded plastic netting differentiated by strand structure and the hole configuration formed by those strands: diamond netting and square netting.  Each is created through unique processes that result in distinct product characteristics.   Both types of products are produced in a wide range of configurations, ranging from fine “filtration-grade” netting that would resemble a woven product, to more course extrusion typical of plastic construction fence.

Replacing Metal with Plastic Mesh Yields Many Advantages

Mesh Cores & Cages for Filter ElementsA hallmark of any successful manufacturing company is the constant pursuit of advantages and efficiencies in its processes and products. Buzzwords like “streamlining” or “continuous improvement” can sometimes be dismissed as business jargon, but meaningful changes that can favorably impact efficiency, productivity and, ultimately, costs are constantly at a premium. Those that can effectively impact these areas differentiate themselves from their competition and are more profitable.

How to get fresh fruits and vegetables all winter long

Dehydrating foods inhibits the growth of bacteria, yeasts and mold through the removal of water.  Many foods can be dehydrated – meats, vegetables, fruits, seeds and herbs.  The process of drying these foods can be done with electrical dehydrators or sun drying.DehydratorFrameMesh

Industrial Netting has a wide variety of mesh products that can be used for your dehydration applications.  These products are made from FDA compliant resins and form an ideal tray or rack liner.  We have a wide variety of mesh sizes and thicknesses that can be selected to provide the best air circulation.

Many small scale dehydrators do not require vast amounts of material for their use.  For this reason Industrial Netting is pleased to advise that our minimum order is small enough to accommodate a home processor.  If your application requires higher volume processing we can arrange to precision slit or die cut our products in advance of shipment to meet your exact end use configurations.

Protect Trees & Shrubs from Foraging Animals

Tree protectorsYoung trees and ornamental gardens add beauty and value to any property – but they can also be a magnet for foraging animals during our long winters.  Gnaw marks, scrapes and nicks become ugly scars that expose trees and shrubs to disease, insects and other pests.

Now there is an easy, inexpensive way to fight back!  Plastic netting can be used to create a lightweight, environmentally-friendly deterrent to protect shrubs, gardens and decorative plants from foraging wildlife like deer, rabbits, and other “critters”.  Breathable plastic mesh lets water and light reach plants while allowing plenty of air circulation.  And it’s easy to install using nylon zip ties.

Industrial Netting joins AAMP

Minneapolis, MN – Industrial Netting joined the American Association of Meat Processors.  AAMP was founded in 1939 to provide quality service, knowledge through education and regulatory representation for North American meat processors. Industrial Netting provides plastic netting and injection molded dehydration trays made from
FDA-approved resins.  Those reusable trays are easy to clean and less expensive than traditional stainless steel dehydration trays.  The plastic liners are sold in rolls or die cut to fit either molded or stainless steel trays.  The unique edge tab of the molded plastic tray allows for easy installation and replacement of worn netting.

New Die Cutting Capabilities

Minneapolis, MN – Industrial Netting expanded its custom fabrication offering with the addition of a 110 ton Freeman Schwabe high speed beam press.  This model FM100M can die cut custom netting shapes up to 60 inches wide and 47 inches long.

The versatility of this machine was a key consideration to Plant Manager, Mike Rog.  In the first month of production his team processed orders using polypropylene netting as thin as 0.020-inches (0.5mm) and weighing only 3 pounds per one thousand square feet, then shifted to polyethylene mesh over 0.100-inches (2.5mm) thick and weighing over 110 pounds per one thousand square feet.

High Temperature Netting

Minneapolis, MN  –  Industrial Netting has broadened its offering of nettings suitable for high temperatures with the addition of Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) mesh. These new extruded meshes join an array of Nylon, Polyester and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) products.

Polypropylene netting remains the most cost effective choice for ambient temperature applications but the heat deflection temperature occurs at just 90°C (194°F). Polypropylene softens at 152°C (305°F) and melts at 161°C (323°F).

PBT and Nylon meshes boast significantly higher heat deflection temperatures; 154°C (310°F) and 175°C (347°F) respectively. PTFE mesh is suitable for continuous use temperatures up to 260°C (500°F). PTEF meshes also have very low friction, are certified to meet FDA regulations for food contact, and can be used in many highly caustic applications.
