Stainless steel wire mesh is a proven material for building durable, food-safe, and efficient drying and processing solutions. At Lawrence Sintered Metals, we manufacture high-quality wire mesh drying racks and trays designed for use in food production, industrial processing, laundry facilities, and other demanding environments.
Why Use Stainless Steel Wire Mesh for Drying Racks?
Wire mesh drying racks and trays offer strength, rigidity, and excellent airflow. Stainless steel construction ensures corrosion resistance and long service life, even under high temperatures or constant washdowns. The open mesh design allows products to dry quickly and evenly, while the structure supports the weight of the items being processed.
Common Applications
Food Industry – mesh trays for drying fruits, vegetables, herbs, meats, and baked goods
Industrial Processing – processing trays for parts drying, powder handling, or curing applications
Laundry and Textiles – wire mesh drying racks for fabric, uniforms, and specialty textiles
Laboratory and Pharmaceutical – food-grade drying screens and mesh trays for controlled drying environments
Mesh Options Available
Lawrence Sintered Metals manufactures drying racks and trays in a range of wire mesh options to fit specific drying or processing needs:
1/4″ x 1/4″ stainless steel welded mesh – ideal for faster drying with larger openings.
1/2″ x 1/2″ stainless steel welded mesh – provides maximum airflow while still supporting weight.
Custom configurations – tailored mesh openings, frame sizes, and support structures available.
Food-Grade and Industrial Alloys
We typically use 316L Stainless Steel Wire Mesh for woven layers due to its corrosion resistance and suitability for food-grade applications. For perforated plate backing, we use 304 Stainless Steel. Other alloys are available upon request, depending on the processing environment.
Customizable Features
- Adjustable mesh opening sizes to control drying speed
- Choice of woven or welded mesh for different applications
