Engineered Wire Baskets for Bottle Cleaning

In the crowded market of baby gear, there’s a booming business catering to the bottle-fed baby and his family. Each development follows close on the heels of the last, resulting in a breathtaking history of product launches and product recalls. Despite the fact that many, many babies survived the last decade, some of the news reports would make you wonder how. By most accounts, it’s only by the skin of our teeth…or gums, I suppose, since most babies don’t start out with teeth.

Either way, the baby bottle market is a booming business. Walking down the aisles of one of the baby superstores could trigger a variation of vertigo, similar in some ways to that overwhelming feeling you get when you’re standing in the hardware aisle at Lowe’s. I think the bottles, though, are worse—there’s a much greater variety of things, packaged in much brighter colors…messing with all five of your senses.

Among the many gadgets to make bottle-feeding life easier are myriad tools for cleaning and drying bottles and their accessories. Most of what we, as consumers, see are for the daily (maybe hourly?) cleaning of bottles currently in circulation. Before the general public ever gets them, though, the bottles have to be washed, and this during-production cleaning is done on a much larger scale than what we ever have to face at home.

With the number of bottles included in the mass production and, therefore, mass washing of said bottles, custom baskets and racks have to be designed to fit both the bottles and the machines used to wash them. One company that supplies such wire baskets is Three M Tool of York, Pennsylvania. With over 50 year of experience, cutting-edge SolidWorks 3-D CAD technology, and a commitment to the best possible customer service, Three M Tool can provide the ideal wire basket for almost any application.

Three M Tool has profiles of many samples of their work on their website. The samples are just that—merely representations of a wide array of possibilities. Among the samples is a wire basket to clean bottles, but not baby bottles. These are actually designed for cleaning used soda bottles in preparation for recycling. Different application, granted, but the idea is the same, and the engineering would probably be very similar.

In addition to all the design options possible with a custom wire basket, Three M Tool offers a fairly wide range of materials and surface finishes. The material composition can be carbon steel, various grades of stainless steel, or any of a number of other metals. The finish can range from natural to powder or vinyl coating. All of these options depend on the specific application, as does the mesh size and the style handle, if any. With so many possibilities, the experience of the folks at Three M Tool will prove invaluable. In many cases, they have already designed something similar to what someone needs, and then they can just tweak the design to match. If not, they can work on a new design to perfectly suit the needs of the client.
