FAQs of Floor Sink Basket
1. What scenarios are Plumberstar’s ground sink baskets primarily used for?
The ground sink baskets produced by Plumberstar have the characteristics of strong material adaptability and stable filtration and protection performance. The core application scenarios cover three major fields: civil home, commercial services, and industrial production.
1. It is suitable for civilian home scenes. It can be used in the kitchen, bathroom, and balcony areas. It can prevent sewer blockage, block pipe odor with anti-odor design, avoid wet and slippery ground caused by poor drainage, and is suitable for household daily cleaning and high-frequency use scenarios.
2. Suitable for commercial service scenarios. It can be used in restaurants, public places, and food processing shops. Suitable for large flow drainage requirements, stainless steel material can withstand oil corrosion and is easy to clean, reducing the frequency of pipe dredging.
3. Industrial production scenarios. It can be used in light industry workshops, as well as in chemical and pharmaceutical auxiliary areas, and in storage and logistics areas. Nickel bronze or 316 stainless steel models can withstand weak acid and alkali corrosion to ensure smooth piping. Adapt to the high-intensity use requirements of industrial scenarios.
2. How about the load capacity of the stainless steel floor sink basket?
The primary influencing factor of load-bearing is material thickness. The thickness of household models is mostly 0.5-0.8mm, and the load bearing is about 5- 10kg; the thickness of commercial industrial models can reach 1.0-1.5mm, the basic load bearing can be increased to 15- 30kg, and some thickened models can even reach more than 50kg. In terms of structural design, the tank basket with integrated stamping process at the bottom has no welding gap, more uniform force, and 20%-30% higher bearing capacity than welded splicing; the basket body has reinforcing ribs or grid densification design, which can disperse local pressure, avoid excessive deformation due to single point force, and can increase the upper bearing limit by 10%-15%.
Even if the sink basket has strong load-bearing capacity, it is necessary to avoid placing heavy objects under overload for a long time, otherwise it will lead to metal fatigue and permanent deformation of the basket; at the same time, it is necessary to avoid single-point impact of sharp heavy objects on the basket body to prevent damage to welding spots or weak parts, affecting the overall load-bearing performance.
3. What is the difference between square and round sink baskets?
The core differences between square and round sink baskets are space fit, storage form, cleaning difficulty, and visual style.
The corner design of the square sink basket is more suitable for right-angle spaces, such as cabinets and corners, which can maximize the use of corner areas. It can regularly store angular items such as square tableware and kitchen utensils, but its inner corners are prone to accumulating oil stains and residues. When cleaning, it needs targeted cleaning. The overall style is more regular and simple, an industrial style or a modern household style.
The circular sink basket features no sharp corners, resulting in a more uniform force and stronger load-bearing stability. It is suitable for a circular sink or a curved countertop. It is suitable for storing dishes, fruits, vegetables, and other round or irregular objects. Its curved inner wall has no sharp, dead corners, which makes it more convenient to clean. It is visually more rounded and so soft, which suits the war household atmosphere. Meanwhile, the non-angular design of the circular basket body can also reduce the risk of collision and has higher safety.
4. Through which ports can ground sink baskets be shipped?
Our ground tank basket can rely on the domestic core port for convenient delivery, in addition to the standard ports of Shanghai, Ningbo, and, according to the order volume and customer demand, flexible selection of Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Qingdao, and other ports for operations. The time limit for arrival at the port needs to be determined in combination with the specific port of destination. For example, if it is sent to the main ports in Southeast Asia, the shipping time limit is usually 3-7 days from Shanghai/Ningbo Port; the time limit for sending to the basic port in Europe is about 25-35 days; It takes about 18-25 days to ship to the west coast port of the United States, and 30-40 days to ship to the east coast port of the United States via the Panama Canal. The specific time limit can be accurately estimated based on the shipping schedule once the order is confirmed. At the same time, priority will be given to a cooperative, high-quality shipping company to ensure transportation stability.
5. Can the filter aperture or grid density of the floor sink basket be adjusted to customer requirements?
We can adjust the filter aperture and grid density of the floor sink basket to meet the specific needs of customers, providing support for flexible customization. According to the impurity interception requirements of different scenarios, the conventional filter aperture can be adjusted within the range of 0.5 mm to 10 mm, and the grid density can be matched correspondingly. For example, when the food processing workshop needs to intercept acceptable food debris, a small aperture and high-density grid below 1mm can be customized; when the industrial workshop requires rapid drainage and intercepts large metal impurities, a large aperture and low-density grid above 5mm can be adapted.
6. How long is the validity period of the ground sink basket quotation?
Our quotation period of validity is typically 30 days. During this period, if the customer confirms the order, it will be strictly implemented in accordance with the quotation. If the quotation exceeds 30 days, it will need to be recalculated based on the actual situation at the time of ordering. For raw material price fluctuation, if a formal contract is signed within the validity period of the quotation and the advance payment is made as agreed, even if the price of stainless steel, nickel bronze and other core raw materials rises, the quotation will not be adjusted; if the validity period is exceeded or the order is not locked in time, when the raw material price fluctuates by more than 5%, the quotation will be adjusted accordingly according to the latest market price. Before making any adjustments, we will fully communicate with customers in advance and provide detailed price descriptions.
7. Are the edges of Plumberstar’s sink basket scratch-resistant?
Plumberstar’s sink basket has a professional scratch-resistant finish on the edges. The edges are rounded and finely polished. First, the sharp edges are polished to R10 and above, and safety-rounded corners are created using numerical control equipment. Then, a mirror or matte polishing treatment is applied to make the edge surface smooth and burr-free, which not only improves scratch resistance but also reduces the accumulation of oil and water stains on the edges. For industrial-grade heavy-duty products, an additional flanging process is used to enhance edge load-bearing capacity while ensuring scratch resistance.
