Key Processes in Food-Grade Filtration: High-Efficiency Application of Industrial Filter Fabrics and Filter Belt in Tofu Pressing
In the food industry, bean products are among the most common and popular health foods. Among them, Tofu Production Process has extremely high requirements for equipment and materials, especially during the pressing and shaping stage, Industrial filter cloth and filter belt play a decisive role. They not only affect the texture and water content of the product, but also relate to the safety, stability, and production efficiency of the entire process.
I. Tofu Pressing: Traditional Processes and Modern Upgrades
The basic production process of tofu includes: selecting beans, soaking, grinding, boiling, setting, shaping, and pressing. Pressing is the key link in determining the texture, water content, and flavor of tofu. In traditional processes, manual cloth wrapping and molding methods are often used, while modern food factories generally use belt press filter for automatic continuous pressing and shaping.
Compared with traditional manual methods, belt press filters have the following advantages:
- High degree of automation : Continuous production, reducing manual contact;
- Uniform and controllable pressure : Pressing pressure can be adjusted according to product type;
- High efficiency and large output : Suitable for medium and large-scale food processing enterprises;
- Clean, hygienic, and safe and reliable : Equipped with food-grade materials and cleaning devices.
II. Core Functions of Industrial Filter Fabrics and Filter Belts in the Pressing Process
In the belt press filter, filter cloth / The belt is not only a material carrier, but also a filtering medium and shaping tool . Its performance directly affects the uniformity of tofu dehydration, the integrity of shaping, and the final product quality.
1. Filtering function
The filter cloth retains the solid components of the bean curd (tofu brain), while allowing excess water to seep out through the filter cloth, which is the basis for completing dehydration and shaping.
2. Pressing medium
In the pressing roller system, the filter cloth bears various mechanical stresses such as conveying, tightening, and compacting, and needs to have good tensile and flexible properties to prevent breakage, wrinkling, or deviation.
3. Food contact safety
Because it is in direct contact with tofu raw materials, the filter cloth must meet food contact material standards (such as FDA or GB4806 ) and has characteristics such as being non-toxic, odorless, easy to clean, and free of fiber shedding.
III. Design Requirements for Filter Fabrics for Food Factories
