FAQ
What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel for wire baskets?
Both are excellent choices. AISI 304 is the standard "18/8" stainless steel, offering great corrosion resistance for most environments. AISI 316 contains molybdenum, providing superior resistance to chlorides and acids, making it ideal for marine environments, chemical processing, or highly saline conditions.
Can you make custom-sized wire mesh baskets?
Absolutely. Customization is a core part of our service. We can produce wire mesh baskets stainless steel to your exact dimensions, wire gauge, mesh size, and with special features like lids, dividers, specific handle types, or reinforced bases.
Are your baskets suitable for oven or freezer use?
Yes. Stainless steel performs exceptionally well across a wide temperature range. Our baskets can safely be used in industrial ovens, fryers, autoclaves, and blast freezers without losing integrity or becoming brittle.
How do I clean and maintain stainless steel baskets?
Routine cleaning with warm water and mild detergent is usually sufficient. For deeper sanitation, use steam cleaning or passivation treatments. Avoid harsh chloride-based cleaners (like bleach) on 304-grade steel to prevent pitting. Rinse with fresh water after cleaning.
What is the lead time for standard and custom orders?
Lead times vary by order size and complexity. Standard model orders typically ship within 10-15 business days. Custom projects require time for design and tooling; we provide a clear timeline upon quotation. We prioritize communication to keep your project on schedule.
