I am needing a design for a food grade 304 stainless steel strainer to withstand 200 degrees celsius.
I need the vertical walls to expand to allow for different size fittings.
The problem is, what material can be used to make the sides of the strainer to be solid, flex outwards and in the corners not have any gaps as it is to be a complete strainer
the picture below shows the current design which requires perfect measurement and fitting.
The job is to make the item fit with a variable size of 2-3 cms possibly more
The size of the strainer is to fit commercial deep fryers
