Stainless Steel Drying Mesh for Food Dehydration Machine, 316L, 40 Mesh, 0.8mm Wire, 1.5m Width
Product Spotlights
As a trusted manufacturer since 1998, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory specializes in producing high-quality stainless steel wire meshes for industrial and food processing applications. Our 316L Stainless Steel Drying Mesh is specifically engineered for food dehydration machines, offering excellent corrosion resistance, precise mesh uniformity, and long service life. With an annual export value of US$5 million to US$10 million and a global presence across North America, Europe, Asia, and more, we deliver reliable solutions to clients worldwide.
This drying mesh is made from 316L grade stainless steel, which provides superior resistance to chlorides, acids, and high temperatures compared to standard 304. The 40 mesh count with 0.8mm wire diameter ensures optimal airflow while preventing small food particles from falling through. The 1.5m width is ideal for large-scale dehydration machines, and the mesh can be cut to custom lengths to fit various tray or belt configurations.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Corrosion Resistance – 316L stainless steel withstands acidic food juices, salty environments, and frequent washing without rusting.
- Precise Mesh Opening – 40 mesh (0.4mm opening) provides excellent ventilation while retaining small food items like herbs, seeds, or sliced fruits.
- Strong & Durable – 0.8mm wire diameter offers robust construction, resisting deformation under heavy loads or repeated use.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: Is this mesh food-grade safe?
A: Yes, 316L stainless steel is widely used in food processing and is non-toxic, non-reactive, and resistant to corrosion from food acids. It meets FDA and EU food contact requirements. -
Q: What is the maximum temperature this mesh can withstand?
A: 316L stainless steel can typically handle continuous operating temperatures up to 400°C (752°F). For food dehydration, which usually runs below 100°C, it is perfectly safe. -
Q: Can I get the mesh in different widths or lengths?
A: Absolutely. The standard width is 1.5m, but we can produce custom widths from 0.5m to 2.5m. Length can be cut to your desired size, or supplied in rolls up to 30m. -
Q: How do I clean this drying mesh?
A: The mesh is easy to clean. Use warm water and a mild detergent, then rinse and dry. For stubborn residues, a soft brush can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the surface. -
Q: What is the typical lifespan of this mesh in a food dehydrator?
A: With proper care, 316L mesh can last for years. Its corrosion resistance prevents rust, and the robust construction withstands repeated loading and unloading. Many users report 5-10 years of service life. -
Q: Do you offer free samples?
A: Yes, we provide samples for evaluation. Please contact us with your shipping details, and we will arrange a sample (small shipping fee may apply). -
Q: Is the mesh suitable for dehydrating sticky foods like fruit leather?
A: Yes, but we recommend using a non-stick spray or lining the mesh with parchment paper for very sticky items. The 40 mesh provides good support. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity?
A: The MOQ is typically 10 square meters for standard sizes, but we can accommodate smaller orders for testing. Contact us for details.
