Zero-Coating Technology For Mesh Belts: Pioneering A New Era Of Safer, Healthier Food Production

A rising number of families are switching from coated non-stick cookware to stainless steel alternatives, reflecting growing public focus on food safety and healthy contact materials.

Traditional conveying components rely on special chemical coatings for non-stick performance. However, these coatings have inherent drawbacks. They degrade under sustained high temperatures and corrosive environments and peel off due to constant friction and washing. Once flaking occurs, fragments may contaminate food and bring hidden health risks.

Zero-coating technology presents a groundbreaking solution. Without additional chemical coatings, special substrate modification and surface treatment enable the metal base material to deliver natural non-stick and anti-corrosion properties, removing coating detachment risks from the source.

Food safety covers every production link, and equipment directly touching food is a key risk control point. For frying, baking and frozen food production lines, conventional metal mesh belts use coatings to achieve anti-stick and wear-resistant effects. Long-term operation leads to coating abrasion, blistering and peeling caused by material friction, temperature alternation and high-pressure cleaning. Even when belts remain structurally usable, food factories must conduct frequent inspections and premature replacements to stop coating debris from mixing into finished goods. Coating fragments in food spoil product texture and create invisible safety hazards.

Apart from threatening consumers' health, contamination incidents may result in product recalls, damaged brand reputation and regulatory penalties. Widely adopted in food processing, coated metal mesh belts carry persistent foreign body risks.

Applying zero-coating craftsmanship to metal mesh belts eliminates coating flaking risks and reinforces hygiene protection for food manufacturing.

Recognising the critical value of zero-coating mesh belts for food safety, Kansai Wire Netting Group (NF) has maintained consistent R&D investment. Our self-developed zero-coating mesh belts are now operating stably at multiple Japanese food manufacturers, fully avoiding coating contamination and lifting hygiene standards for food conveyance.

As a century-old metal mesh belt manufacturer, Kansai Wire Netting Group aims to pursue world-leading technology and supply innovative, premium products and services to create social value. We expect more food manufacturers to prioritise food safety over cut-throat competition. Let us jointly advance sustainable industrial development and safeguard the baseline of food safety.
