Smooth Mesh Grating, mesh size 23x23

Smooth Mesh Grating, mesh size 23x23 — the smooth mesh grating with 23x23 mm openings is a standard model top element for assembling drainage channel sets; it is suitable for most HoReCa kitchens and food processing rooms where effective water drainage and an easily cleanable surface are required.

Mesh size 23x23 — what it means in practice

Smooth Mesh Grating, mesh size 23x23 — the 23x23 mm mesh size determines how large particles pass through the grating and how many are retained. Water permeability — 23x23 mm openings provide good water permeability; water drains quickly without high pressure; also suitable for rooms with high water flow. Food waste retention — 23 mm openings do not let large food pieces through (meat trimmings, vegetable peels, large grains); a small amount of fine flour or sugar powder may pass through, but this does not harm the drainage system. Comparison with other mesh sizes — a smaller size (e.g., 10x10) retains more but clogs faster; a larger size (40x40) is easier to clean but allows more solids through; 23x23 is a stable medium-sized solution; explore Drainage Channels.

Smooth surface vs perforated or grooved surface

Smooth Mesh Grating, mesh size 23x23 — the surface type affects cleaning convenience, retention and safety. Smooth mesh — the mesh wire surface is smooth; food waste accumulates on the mesh rather than getting lodged in grooves; cleaning with a brush is effective. Perforated cover — holes are drilled in the plate; more resistant to physical stress; better suited for high mechanical loads; less commonly used on kitchen floors. Grooved surface — grooves provide grip, preventing slipping; however, dirt accumulates in the grooves, making cleaning more difficult; explore Two-Part Floor Drains. Slip resistance — a smooth mesh surface can be slippery when wet; in high-traffic areas, non-slip mats should be used or an alternative considered.

Material, durability and HACCP compliance

Smooth Mesh Grating, mesh size 23x23 — the choice and processing of stainless steel affect the grating’s service life and hygiene. Stainless steel AISI 304 — the standard for most kitchen drainage accessories; resistant to water, standard disinfectants and mechanical wear. Stainless steel AISI 316 — higher corrosion resistance, suitable for rooms with aggressive cleaning agents or salt water; slightly more expensive but longer-lasting. Electropolishing — an electropolished stainless steel surface is smoother at the microscopic level; this reduces bacterial adhesion and makes sterilisation easier; explore Drainage Channels with Central Siphon. Mechanical strength — mesh wire connections are welded or woven; welded mesh is more resistant to heavy impacts and foot traffic.

Using smooth mesh gratings in HoReCa spaces

Smooth Mesh Grating, mesh size 23x23 — the smooth mesh grating is the most popular top element for drainage channels in professional kitchens. Restaurant floor drainage channel — in the preparation zone’s drainage channel, the smooth mesh grating is the most suitable choice; it retains meat trimmings and other food waste pieces without clogging with fine ground particles, while being easy to clean. Dishwashing area — this zone often has high water flow and various food waste; the 23x23 mesh provides good water permeability. Food production workshop — in a production workshop with regular floor cleaning using pressure water, the mesh grating is durable and effective; explore One-Piece Floor Drains.

Frequently asked questions

Is the smooth mesh grating compatible with all drainage channels? Smooth Mesh Grating, mesh size 23x23 — compatibility depends on the channel’s dimensions and shape; the grating must match the channel’s width and frame type; BHS offers gratings for various standard channel models; contact BHS for precise compatibility checks; explore Drainage Channels.

How often should the drainage channel grating be replaced? Smooth Mesh Grating, mesh size 23x23 — a high-quality stainless steel mesh grating with regular maintenance lasts for many years; replacement is only necessary in case of mechanical damage, wire breakage or serious corrosion; explore Two-Part Floor Drains.
