Custom Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Parts Basket
Custom stainless steel wire mesh baskets hold and protect components during washing, rinsing, draining, transfer, storage or other industrial processes. Specify the contained parts, basket envelope, opening, frame, load, lifting method, lid or dividers and process conditions together.
Parts Basket vs Filter Basket
Parts handling basket
Contains components during washing, processing, transfer or storage; selected from part retention and handling load.
Filter basket
Installed in a fluid filtration housing; selected from particle retention, flow, pressure and sealing requirements.
This page covers industrial parts baskets and trays. For a housing-installed filtration component, use the custom stainless steel filter basket page. For tank debris collection, see the industrial tank filter basket.
Wire Mesh Parts Basket Specification Table
A basket cannot be responsibly quoted from outside dimensions alone. The part geometry, load distribution and handling method are essential design inputs.
| RFQ field | What to provide | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Contained parts | Smallest dimensions, shape, weight, quantity and orientation risk | Determines the required opening and containment |
| Basket envelope | Length, width, depth, corner radius and equipment clearances | Controls fit inside racks, tanks or machines |
| Opening structure | Woven mesh, welded grid or perforated sheet; opening and wire/sheet data | Balances retention, drainage and process access |
| Frame and reinforcement | Top frame, ribs, bottom support, feet and weld locations | Connects geometry to the stated handling load |
| Handling features | Handles, hooks, lifting points, lid, latch, dividers and stacking features | Defines operation and movement |
| Process conditions | Medium, temperature, cycle, cleaning and contact requirements | Supports material and construction review |
| Acceptance | Drawing revision, tolerances, quantity and required inspection | Creates a verifiable purchase specification |
Choose the Opening Around the Smallest Part
The opening must prevent parts from escaping in any expected orientation while allowing liquid, air or process access. Woven mesh suits finer containment, while welded grid provides a more open rigid structure. Perforated sheet can provide controlled holes and a continuous formed wall.
When a woven opening is specified, the mesh-to-micron calculator can help check square aperture geometry, but part retention still depends on actual dimensions and orientation.
Available Basket Configurations
Open basket
Uncovered format for direct loading, washing, draining and removal.
Lidded basket
Fixed, hinged or removable cover where parts must remain contained.
Divided basket
Internal compartments separate parts or limit contact during processing.
Stackable basket
Feet, frames or locating features coordinate stacking and load transfer.
Handles, Hooks and Lifting Details
Handling features must be treated as functional load interfaces. State whether the basket is lifted manually, by hooks, by a hoist or as part of an automated rack. Show lifting direction, loaded weight, handle movement and the available clearance.
- Fixed or folding handles
- Wire hooks and hanging points
- Latches and lid retention
- Feet, runners and stacking stops
- Equipment-specific mounting tabs
Material and Construction Selection
Stainless steel wire
Used for frames, welded grids, handles and reinforcement where compatible with the process.
Woven stainless mesh
Provides fine containment and free process access; specify mesh and wire diameter together.
Welded wire grid
Provides a defined open grid with joints and frame integration controlled by the drawing.
Perforated sheet
Uses hole size, pitch, sheet thickness and formed geometry to define the wall.
Material must be selected from the actual chemistry, temperature, cleaning and fabrication requirements. Use the 304 vs 316 stainless steel selection guide as a starting comparison, not as a substitute for process compatibility review.

Typical Industrial Uses
Parts washing
Contains components through compatible washing, rinsing and draining steps.
Process transfer
Moves parts between approved operations while keeping the batch together.
Storage and organization
Separates, protects or identifies parts in racks, cabinets or work cells.
Surface-treatment handling
Carries compatible parts through a buyer-defined treatment process and handling system.
How to Prepare a Custom Basket RFQ
1. Describe the parts
Give smallest dimensions, weights, quantity and orientation risk.
2. Define equipment fit
Provide basket envelope and machine, tank or rack clearances.
3. Choose containment
Specify opening, wire or sheet construction and drainage need.
4. Define handling
Show load, lifting points, handles, lid, dividers and stacking.
5. Add process data
State medium, temperature, cycle, material, quantity and inspection.
Custom Wire Mesh Parts Basket FAQ
It is a fabricated basket used to contain, carry, wash, drain, store or protect components during an industrial process. It is specified from the parts, load, handling method, process equipment and environment.
No. This page focuses on parts handling and process baskets. A filter basket is installed in a filtration housing and is specified from fluid flow, particle retention, differential pressure and sealing requirements.
The opening must retain the smallest part while allowing the required liquid, air or process access. State the smallest component dimension, orientation risk and required drainage rather than selecting mesh from a generic chart alone.
Provide total load, individual part weight, load distribution, lifting points, stacking condition and any impact or handling duty. Maidong does not infer safe load capacity from outside dimensions alone.
Drawing-based fixed or removable lids, latches, handles, hooks, dividers, feet and stacking features can be reviewed. Show their positions, movement, clearances and intended functions.
Send a drawing or dimensional sketch, part description, basket size, opening, wire or sheet construction, frame, load, handles, lid, dividers, stacking requirement, process medium, temperature, cleaning method, quantity and inspection requirements.
