Wire Material Basket Characteristics
Datetime:2016-08-29 Hits:
As the name implies, wire material baskets are made from a series of wires that are either welded or woven together to form a basket shape. Compared to sheet metal baskets, these baskets have a much lower tensile strength, reducing their weight capacity.
However, with wire baskets, it’s easier to control the amount of open space in the basket to improve air flow and drainage. This enables faster draining and drying of parts, which helps to minimize time between parts washing operations. Since most parts loads go through 8-10 different operations, saving just 6-8 minutes on drying time can cut an hour or more off of your production process.
Additionally, the larger open space allows runoff from some wash processes to drain away faster and more thoroughly. This minimizes the chances of sludge or debris from cleaning processes resettling on parts, reducing the need for extra wash processes to clean parts.
This open space is a must for ultrasonic cleaning, as more open space makes for a more thorough cleaning in such applications. With a sheet metal basket, the thicker, more complete enclosure would block the ultrasonic waves from the transducer.
In heat treat applications, the air flow of a wire basket enables the parts to get up to temperature faster than the complete enclosure of a sheet metal basket, as well as cool off faster once the process is finished.
Overall,?wire material baskets?are ideal for enhancing process efficiency, speeding up production. Also, by using less raw materials, these baskets minimize raw material costs, but you may end up paying more for weld operations, especially if you’re welding each joint to increase strength and rigidity for the basket.
There are many kinds of wire baskets with high quality in our company WUZHOUKINGDA. The size also can be made according to your requirements. Welcome consult!
