Characteristics of Stainless Steel Bins

  • Stainless steel bins are non-porous and highly resistant to chemicals and corrosion.
  • The capacity of a stainless steel bin can vary from 20-50 cubic feet.
  • The bins can be stacked or hanging and are usually rectangular in shape.
  • The stainless steel bins are open-top containers with hinged lids, flat sides, and a sloping bottom.
  • For ease, the open-top containers are mounted on a portable base or a steel frame with casters to transfer material directly into the bin.
  • Some bins act like a hopper. A door at their conical bottom pours out liquid at controlled rate.

Production of Stainless Steel Bins

The production of stainless steel bins is a multi-step process. Steel scrap is melted, cast into a solid shape, heated up, cleaned, and polished.

Melting and Casting

The steel is put into a furnace alongside various alloy metals. It may take 8-10 hours for the steel to melt. The refined steel is then extracted and put into molds.

Forming

Next, the steel is hot rolled and formed into cast steel. Large rollers turn the cast steel into a thinner, longer form. Hot rolling takes place above the steel’s recrystallization temperature, and cold rolling happens below it.

Heat Treatment

Heat treatment strengthens the rolled steel. The steel is treated at a high temperature then slowly cooled down.

Descaling

In the heating process, the rolled steel has an oxidized layer on it. Descaling is the process of removing this layer to restore the shiny surface of the steel.

Cutting

Stainless steel can be cut by plasma cutting, water jet cutting and more.

Finishing

Manufacturers will ‘finish’ the steel to add corrosion-resistant properties, make it easier to clean, and give the steel a polished look. Stainless steel totes are similar to stainless steel bins. They are also rectangular containers used to transport and store fluids. Stainless steel totes can be stacked easily as they are covered and are collapsible when not in use.
