Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer since 1998, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory proudly presents our Custom Food Grade 304/316 Perforated Stainless Steel Wire Mesh – the ideal solution for oven cooling and drying applications. Our decades of experience in wire mesh fabrication ensure that every sheet meets the highest standards of durability, hygiene, and precision. Whether you need a standard pattern or a fully customized design, we deliver perforated mesh that optimizes airflow, heat distribution, and product safety in commercial and industrial ovens.
This perforated stainless steel mesh is engineered from premium 304 or 316 stainless steel, both recognized for their excellent corrosion resistance, high-temperature tolerance, and food-grade compliance. The mesh is ideal for use in baking, roasting, cooling racks, drying trays, and conveyor belts where direct contact with food is required. Our manufacturing process ensures burr-free edges, consistent hole patterns, and precise dimensions to fit your equipment perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel for oven mesh?
A: 304 is suitable for most baking and drying applications where exposure to water and mild acids is limited. 316 contains molybdenum, offering superior resistance to chlorides and acidic foods (e.g., tomato sauce, brine). For high-humidity ovens or seafood processing, we recommend 316. -
Q: Can I get custom hole sizes and patterns?
A: Absolutely. We offer custom hole diameters, shapes (round, square, slot, hex), and staggered or inline patterns. Just provide your requirements, and our engineering team will produce a drawing for approval. -
Q: What is the maximum temperature this mesh can withstand?
A: 304 grade can handle continuous temperatures up to 800°C (1472°F), while 316 can go up to 900°C (1652°F). For intermittent use, the limits are slightly higher. However, please confirm your specific oven temperature for a precise recommendation. -
Q: Is the mesh dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, both 304 and 316 are dishwasher safe. The smooth surface and non-porous nature allow easy cleaning without residue buildup. We recommend avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners to maintain the surface finish. -
Q: What sizes do you offer as standard?
A: Standard sheets are 1000×2000mm, 1250×2500mm, and 4′×8′ (1220×2440mm). Custom sizes can be cut to your exact dimensions with minimal waste. We also offer flat sheets, rolls (for lighter gauges), and pre-cut blanks. -
Q: Do you provide samples before bulk order?
A: Yes, we offer free samples (A4 size or smaller) for quality evaluation. You only need to cover shipping costs. We can also produce prototypes for custom designs. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for custom orders?
A: For standard materials and patterns, lead time is 7–15 working days. Complex custom designs may require 15–25 working days. Rush orders are possible upon request. -
Q: Can you help with installation or compatibility?
A: We provide technical data sheets and can recommend the best hole size and thickness for your specific oven model. However, installation is typically done by the customer. Our sales team can advise on any necessary modifications.
