Filtration That Meets Food Safety Standards — Without Compromise

Food and beverage processing plants face filtration requirements that go beyond what most industrial suppliers can handle. Every fabric that contacts your product or product air stream must be FDA-approved. Every material choice carries regulatory and safety consequences.

American Fabric Filter has supplied the food processing industry for over 20 years, manufacturing filter bags, transfer sleeves, liquid filtration components, and custom plant products built specifically for food-safe environments. We stock a full range of FDA-approved media — including anti-static fabrics and PTFE membrane — and fabricate everything to your exact specifications.

When compliance matters as much as performance, we deliver both.

  • FDA-approved filter bags and breather bags for food-contact applications
  • Anti-static fabrics for combustible dust environments
  • PTFE membrane media for fine particulate capture
  • Liquid filtration — vessel bags, cartridges, filter presses, housings
  • Custom transfer sleeves and FDA-approved rubber connectors
  • Conveyor catch cloths, curtain walls, covers, and fabric ducts
  • Magnetic gaskets and screening media for food processing lines

Common Questions About Food Processing Filtration

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Our team is ready to help you spec the right food-safe solution.

Do your filter bags meet FDA requirements for food processing?

Yes. We stock and custom-fabricate filter bags in a full range of FDA-approved fabrics suitable for food-contact air streams and food processing environments. This includes anti-static materials for combustible dust applications and PTFE membrane for ultra-fine particulate capture. We’ll confirm compliance for your specific application before recommending a fabric.

Anti-static filter fabrics dissipate electrostatic charge that can build up during dust collection. In food processing environments handling combustible dusts — such as sugar, flour, starch, powdered spices, or dry milk — this static charge creates an explosion risk. Anti-static media is required in these environments and is available across our full range of FDA-approved fabrics.

Yes. We carry vessel bags, cartridge filters, filter presses, and filtration housings for food and beverage process fluids. FDA-compliant liquid filter media is available for applications where filtration directly contacts the product or product stream — from beverage clarification to ingredient processing and more.

Yes. We fabricate a wide range of food plant products in FDA-approved materials: conveyor catch cloths, curtain walls, equipment covers, fabric ducts, magnetic gaskets, fan covers, and custom transfer sleeves. If you have a unique plant requirement, contact us — we’ll work with you on a custom solution.

The right fabric depends on the dust or particulate type, temperature, moisture levels, and whether your process requires FDA-approved or anti-static media. Our team will ask about your specific process, collector equipment, and compliance requirements and recommend the best material option.
