High temperature and humidity: Most parts of Southeast Asia belong to the tropical climate, the temperature is high throughout the year, usually between 25°C and 35°C, and the humidity is relatively high, often reaching more than 80%. This high temperature and humidity environment makes the climate in Southeast Asia feel particularly hot.
Extreme weather: Southeast Asia is also affected by natural weather disasters, such as tropical storms and typhoons, which often bring extreme temperatures and heavy rainfall that affect local weather patterns
As businesses should adapt to a multitude of environmental challenges, the need for safety and efficiency in manufacturing processes becomes paramount. This is particularly true in regions such as Southeast Asia, where high temperatures can affect materials and ignite safety concerns.
One of our valued clients, a manufacturer specializing in bagged screws, recognized that their reliance on plastic baskets in the production area posed a fire risk due to the flammable nature of the material, especially under extreme heat. The client's operations involve handling large quantities of screws, and the previous plastic baskets were not only vulnerable to damage but also posed significant fire hazards. The decision to replace plastic baskets with metal ones stemmed from the need to enhance workplace safety while ensuring structural integrity during the production process.
Our team understood that addressing these concerns required a material with both durability and resistance to heat. AUKE collaborated closely with the client to design a robust solution: a perforated metal basket.

Durability: Carbon steel is known for its strength and resilience. Perforated baskets made from carbon steel can withstand heavy loads and harsh environments, making them ideal for industrial use.
Corrosion Resistance: While raw carbon steel can be prone to rust, many carbon steel perforated baskets are coated or treated to enhance their corrosion resistance, extending their lifespan in wet or humid conditions.
Versatility: Carbon steel perforated baskets can be used in various industries, including manufacturing, food processing, chemical handling, and more. They can serve multiple purposes, such as storage, transportation, and filtration.
Customizability: These baskets can be manufactured in different sizes, shapes, and perforation patterns to meet specific needs and applications, making them highly adaptable.
Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to other materials like stainless steel, carbon steel is generally more affordable, making it a cost-effective choice for businesses looking for quality and durability without a high expense.
Resistant to Impact: Carbon steel is less likely to deform under stress compared to plastics or lighter materials, which is particularly beneficial in manufacturing and processing applications.
Ease of Maintenance: Carbon steel perforated baskets can be cleaned easily, ensuring hygiene and compliance with safety standards, especially in food processing industries.
Efficient Drainage and Ventilation: The perforated design allows for effective drainage and ventilation, making these baskets suitable for storing perishable items and facilitating air circulation.
Aesthetic Appeal: With appropriate finishing, carbon steel perforated baskets can have a sleek and professional appearance, which is beneficial in retail or display contexts.
Firstly, the use of high-quality metal ensures that the baskets can withstand high temperatures without risk of ignition. This characteristic not only safeguards the work environment but also protects the valuable products stored within the baskets. The perforated design facilitates airflow, allowing for rapid cooling and minimizing heat buildup during the manufacturing process, which is critical in a high-temperature setting.
Additionally, metal baskets provide increased load-bearing capacity compared to their plastic counterparts. This feature is particularly advantageous for the client's operations, as bagged screws can be quite heavy. The structural strength of the metal baskets means they can handle larger quantities of products without the risk of deformation or breakage, thereby enhancing productivity and streamlining workflow.
Moreover, the transition to metal baskets aligns with broader industry trends advocating for sustainability and reduced waste. While plastic products can contribute to environmental concerns, metal, being a recyclable material, offers a more eco-friendly alternative. By making this switch, our client not only improves their safety standards but also demonstrates a commitment to environmentally responsible practices.
In conclusion, the design and implementation of perforated metal baskets in place of plastic ones represent a significant step forward for our client in the Southeast Asian market. This solution addresses critical safety issues while enhancing productivity and sustainability. As we continue to innovate and respond to the unique challenges faced by our clients, we remain dedicated to providing effective, tailor-made solutions that promote safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. The successful collaboration with our client highlights the importance of understanding and addressing specific market needs while paving the way for a safer and more efficient manufacturing landscape.
