bolting cloth
Fine mesh fabric
Bolting cloth is a finely woven fabric used for sifting flour and other powders.
The tight, uniform mesh separates particles by size—traditionally in flour mills to separate fine flour from coarser bran.
The term comes from an old sense of bolt meaning to sift.
Bolting cloth is also used in screen printing and other applications requiring precise filtration.
