- Improved Airflow & Drainage: 50x50mm mesh allows free air circulation, reducing humidity and ethylene gas buildup around stored vegetables. This slows ripening and spoilage, extending shelf life by up to 30% compared to solid containers.
- Durability & Longevity: Stainless steel resists rust, dents, and corrosion even in aggressive cleaning environments. Many of our baskets have been in continuous use for over 10 years without degradation.
- Easy Cleaning & Sanitation: Smooth surfaces and open mesh enable quick rinsing, soaking, or steam cleaning. No blind spots or crevices where food particles can accumulate – reduces labor time and water usage.
- Space Optimization: Stackable design saves vertical space in walk-in coolers or processing lines. Custom sizes available to fit your existing racks, maximizing storage density.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for washing, drying, blanching, marinating, storage, and transport of vegetables, fruits, and other food items. Also suitable for non-food uses like parts washing in pharmaceutical or industrial settings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel for this basket?
304 is suitable for most food processing environments, offering excellent corrosion resistance and affordability. 316 is more resistant to chlorides and is recommended for highly acidic or salty environments. We can produce baskets in 316 upon request.
2. Can the basket be used in a dishwasher or autoclave?
Yes, the 304 stainless steel can withstand repeated cycles in commercial dishwashers (up to 85°C) and steam autoclaving (up to 121°C). We recommend a reinforced edge design for extra durability under high-pressure washing.
3. How do I determine the right wire diameter for my load?
For typical vegetable storage (potatoes, onions, carrots) with loads up to 15 kg per basket, 2.5mm diameter is sufficient. For heavier loads (e.g., 30 kg of wet produce), we recommend 3.0mm or thicker. Our team can help calculate based on your basket dimensions.
4. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
For standard sizes, MOQ is 50 pieces. For custom sizes, MOQ is 100 pieces. However, we can discuss smaller trial orders for first-time clients.
5. Do you offer custom sizes or shapes?
Absolutely. We can produce baskets in any rectangular or square dimensions, with variations in height, mesh size, wire diameter, and edge type. Please provide a technical drawing or specify your requirements, and we will create a prototype.
6. Are these baskets safe for direct contact with food?
Yes, 304 stainless steel is considered food-grade and safe for direct contact with all types of food. Our production process ensures no sharp edges or contaminants, and we can provide a food-grade material certificate upon request.
7. How long does it take to produce and ship?
Lead time for standard baskets is 15–20 working days after order confirmation. Custom orders typically take 20–30 working days. Shipping time depends on destination and method (sea, air, or express).
8. Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
Yes, we provide samples. For standard sizes, samples are available at cost plus shipping. For custom designs, we can produce a sample after reviewing your specifications. The sample cost is deductible from the bulk order.
