Screen for syrups with pulp and fruit pieces
We just recently started making syrups with pulp and fruit in it, but our screen is a 10 mesh and it is filling too slow and clogging up. Does anyone know what juice companies do for a screen? According to FDA your screen needs to keep things from 0.3 inches from passing through. According to that you only have to have a 3, 4, or 5 mesh screen. Does anyone know of where I can special order gaskets with screens? Online I can't find anything smaller than a 10 mesh. The diameter I need is an inch and a half and two inch screens with gasket.
Like a tri-clamp screen? https://www.sspseals...i-clamp-gaskets (Maybe)
I think you are kidding yourself that a 4 mesh screen will efficiently remove long slender pieces (such as 1mm x 8mm). That's almost a 5mm opening.
I made juice. We did not screen juice for FM control.
