Custom Wire Basket Manufacturer
There are two basic types of materials we use to create our wire baskets: stainless steel and carbon steel. Automated machinery, such as mesh welders, benders, and laser cutters, is used to ensure quality and keep the costs and turnaround time low.
Carbon steel wire baskets are better suited for indoor use. For added corrosion resistance, we offer in-house powder coating and zinc plating. Additional finishes are available upon request. Stainless steel baskets are available for Medical, Pharmaceutical, Food Grade, and other applications.
- To hold or store parts: Wire baskets are perfect for keeping parts together in one place.
- To wash items: Rust-resistant wire baskets enable you to immerse items in liquid and drain easily once removed.
- To display items: Keep like items together, organized, and easy to access.
Types of Wire Baskets and Common Use Cases
From small component baskets to heavy-duty containment solutions, our work as wire basket manufacturers supports countless applications across manufacturing, retail, and processing environments. Each configuration performs a distinct function while maintaining structural integrity under frequent use.
Material Handling Baskets:
Ideal for organizing and transporting parts during production or assembly. Options include custom wire mesh baskets with open-grid construction for visibility and airflow.
Cleaning and Degreasing Baskets:
Built to withstand high temperatures and exposure to chemicals, these baskets are commonly used for spray washing, ultrasonic cleaning, and solvent immersion.
Storage and Display Baskets:
Suitable for both backroom organization and merchandising, they can be mounted, stacked, or paired with custom wire racks to optimize usable space.
Food and Medical Baskets:
Our stainless steel wire baskets meet sanitary standards required in kitchens, laboratories, and cleanroom settings. They resist corrosion, maintain form under repeated sterilization, and promote drainage and cleanliness.
Design Considerations for Wire Baskets
Effective custom wire baskets start with thoughtful engineering. Angola Wire’s design process takes into account the physical, mechanical, and environmental demands of each application. Wire gauge, mesh size, finish, and joint type all influence durability and functionality.
- Material Selection: Stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance and cleanability, ideal for food and medical settings, while carbon steel provides strength and cost efficiency for general industrial use.
- Weld and Joint Integrity: Robotic and MIG/TIG welding ensures structural consistency, preventing fatigue failures under weight or thermal stress.
- Surface Finishes: Powder coating, zinc plating, or passivation enhances corrosion resistance and appearance. Additional coatings can be specified for static control, sanitation, or color-coding systems.
- Form and Fit: Basket geometry is customized for stacking, nesting, or conveyor compatibility, and optional handles, lids, and dividers improve ergonomics and workflow.
