Designing a custom parts-washing basket begins with understanding the requirements of the systems, machinery, and parts that will use the basket. Our production team will provide you with a questionnaire to confirm the following details regarding your cleaning operations:

Marlin Steel's Basket Design Capabilities

At Marlin Steel, we can customize any of our baskets to match your specific requirements for:

Our designers can also create a wire basket capable of handling multiple processes, which supports reduced product handling and, in turn, reduced damage. Manufacturing our baskets per your exact specifications and equipment or part dimensions allows for better part fit for reliable protection. Our engineering team has extensive experience creating custom wire forms from high-quality stainless steel, and we'll assist you in choosing the perfect customization options to match your individual manufacturing and cleaning needs.

Marlin Steel designs high-quality ultrasonic cleaning baskets to meet the needs of a broad range of industries, such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and pharmaceutical. Compared to manual cleaning processes, our baskets offer unmatched precision, fast and streamlined cleaning capabilities, and cost-effectiveness. Manufacturers in these industries rely on our products for cleaning such things as:

We design our ultrasonic parts-cleaning baskets to meet our clients' specific and unique challenges. Here, we've provided three examples of how our baskets helped manufacturers address issues hindering their productivity due to processes relying on ultrasonic cleaning.

Wire Basket 2123001: Latched Lid With Hinges, Fine Mesh, and Custom Handles

Our team created a custom wire parts-cleaning basket with fine mesh, a latched lid, and large handles to keep small parts with a diameter less than 0.22 inches from escaping the basket during the ultrasonic cleaning process. The mesh allowed for optimal IPA solution flow while the lid securely contained the parts during cavitation. The large custom handles also enabled automated or manual parts handling. Wire basket 2123001 minimized component damage, eliminated loss, and helped the client save considerably on the time and labor once spent finding lost parts.

Wire Basket 388009: Wire Basket With Dividers

Marlin Steel created this ultrasonic cleaning basket to meet the demands of a harsh degreasing process. The mesh basket for ultrasonic cleaner featured 20 separate compartments that stopped the heavy parts involved from scratching one another during the cleaning process. For enhanced durability, we utilized permanent dividers and thicker wires, while the increased open space ensured sufficient drainage of the viscous runoff.

Wire Basket 1212001: Simple, Efficient Design for Rotating Wash Processes

We designed ultrasonic mesh cleaning basket 1212001 with a latched, hinged lid. This design enabled proper part rotation during the ultrasonic cleaning process while reliably securing the client's parts within the basket. In addition to offering parts protection, this custom wire basket was beneficial because it optimized sound wave and cleaning solution penetration for a more thorough cleaning while simultaneously helping remove pockets of air.
