Creating a perfect perforated metal basket
When designing any parts washing or materials handling basket, it is important to get the design just right. This means using the right materials, coatings, and type of custom metal forms for the job. In many cases, this can mean using a combination of both perforated sheet metal and wire mesh to create the optimal custom basket design.
For example, say that a perforated sheet metal basket is being used to carry large, heavy, no-scratch parts. In such a case, the basket should be formed to perfectly nest the parts in question, but that can be difficult with sheet metal. However, by creating a separate wire form to cradle the part while it is being carried inside of the sheet metal container, the part can be held securely in place with ease.
In fact, sheet metal is often incorporated into wire mesh basket designs to improve the stability and load capacity of those basket designs, while retaining the best advantages of wire mesh (usefulness for ultrasonic cleaning processes, ease of drainage for runoff, etc.).
