Smooth mesh grating BHS-G BHS-AB0230

A smooth mesh grating sits over floor drains and linear drain channels to catch debris while allowing water to flow freely. The open grid of stainless steel bars creates a flat, unobstructed surface that lets liquid pass through without pooling, while solid particles larger than the mesh size are trapped on top. This keeps drains clear and reduces blockages in waste lines, which is essential in busy kitchens where food scraps, packaging and utensils can accidentally enter the drainage system.

The operator places the grating directly into the drain channel or over the floor drain, aligning the edges with the channel walls. No tools or fixings are needed; the weight of the grating and the design of the channel hold it in place. When the grating becomes loaded with debris, it is lifted out, emptied into a bin, rinsed under a tap and replaced. The smooth surface allows quick brushing or wiping to remove any residue.

The grating is made of AISI 304 stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant alloy that withstands frequent contact with water, cleaning chemicals and food acids. The 23 mm by 23 mm mesh size balances strength with drainage efficiency, catching larger waste while allowing water to pass without restriction.

Available in three widths—300 mm, 400 mm and 500 mm—each with a corresponding depth of 258 mm, 358 mm or 458 mm. The width matches the internal dimension of the drain channel, ensuring a secure fit without gaps where debris could bypass the grating. The depth determines how far the grating extends along the channel, covering the full length of the drain opening.

Cleaning is straightforward: remove the grating, rinse under hot water, scrub with a stiff brush if needed, and dry before replacing. The smooth finish and open mesh prevent grease and food particles from sticking, reducing the need for harsh detergents. Regular removal and cleaning also allow inspection of the drain below, helping to spot early signs of blockage or damage.

Designed for use in public and commercial kitchens, these gratings are commonly installed in food preparation areas, dishwashing zones and service corridors where water and waste are frequent.
