Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Baskets
These industrial grade wire baskets are perfect for dipping, cleaning, sorting, degreasing, and storing parts. We manufacture these carbon steel or stainless steel wire baskets to fit your exact specifications. The baskets have welded frames and heavy wire mesh linings to stand up to rough industrial handling.Baskets can be made from a variety of materials including carbon steel, 304 stainless steel and 316 stainless steel.

Carbon Steel (in natural finish): Strong and inexpensive. Very limited corrosion resistance in natural finish. Baskets made from carbon steel are a great choice for manual solvent cleaning, oil dipping and indoor material handling applications where light rusting will not stain or contaminate parts.
Carbon steel baskets should not be used without a surface coating for any long-term outdoor applications, in any aqueous (water-based) dipping or cleaning applications, or in any caustic environments.
304 Stainless Steel: The most common of the industrial stainless steel grades. Good corrosion resistance in wet and mildly caustic environments. Good high temperature strength to 1200°F. Slightly stronger than carbon steel.

Carbon Steel or 304 Stainless Steel baskets
All sizes are for overall outside dimensions, in inches (1/2" increments).

Wire Mesh Size Designation: Wire mesh is designated by “Mesh Number” (number of wires per inch) and “Wire Diameter” (the diameter of each wire). A higher "mesh number" means more wires to the inch, a higher "wire diameter" means a thicker wire. The "Opening Size" listed is the approximate size of the square openings between the wires.
Wire Mesh Selection for your application: Select a mesh for your basket with an opening size smaller than your smallest parts (so your parts don't fall through), but large enough to allow good flow and drainage. In general, mesh with a larger wire diameter is more durable than smaller wire diameters. We have only a few common mesh sizes listed here, but there are an unlimited selection of mesh sizes and wire diameters available.
