Why Custom Wire Mesh Baskets?

Metal baskets are an exceptionally versatile product for a variety of industries. Wire baskets for manufacturing or other applications all need to be durable and stand up to continuous rough use. All stainless steel basket types can play an important role in manufacturing processes due to their corrosion resistance and ability to withstand heat and chemical damage.

Especially in the medical industry and disinfection industry, the requirements for metal mesh baskets are higher, not only to be resistant to acid and alkali, corrosion, but also to high temperatures, and the surface must be smooth and smooth.

Why Custom Wire Mesh Baskets?

The first question most people ask is why baskets are custom not choosing from pre-made commercial basket types.

The clearest indicator that your business needs custom stainless steel wire mesh baskets is when you have an application process that could be improved with more precision. If your baskets are being used for parts cleaning, for example, you may need the parts to stay in place without movement. If the wire mesh basket is used to hold medical surgical instruments, it needs a smaller mesh; if the net basket is used to wash fruits and vegetables, it needs a larger mesh

There are many types of wire mesh, but the two most common types are welded and woven.

1. Welded wire mesh connects intersecting rows and columns of wires by welding them together where they intersect. The welded wires make welded mesh slightly more rigid than similar woven wire mesh, which can either help or hurt in basket designs.

2. Woven wire mesh is made similarly to woven cloth. Wires weave under and over the others perpendicularly to make a “plain weave” mesh. Woven wire mesh is flexible which allows us to press it into bowl shapes and shallow pan shapes when needed.  Woven mesh is also very durable, absorbing impacts from heavy part or sharp corners without tearing.
