System MG 303, MG 316, MG 320
Top Welding Plants for R
System MG 303, MG 316 and MG 320. The right concept for individual requirements.
Wire Material
System MG 303
The most suitable concept for the economical production of light
and heavy standard mesh panels in medium or large batch
sizes. The line wires are pulled off from spools or coils. The
straightened and cut to length cross wires are fed out of a large
magazine. This enables a faster change over of the plant to
another mesh type. Thereby this plant is very flexible, which is
especially beneficial when supplying new markets.
The System MG 303 can be equipped with further additional
equipment.
System MG 316
Upgradeable plant with a high production capacity for a defined
standard mesh program for light and heavy standard mesh panels.
A cost-effective concept for the start-up into the mesh production
with line and cross wires fed from spools or coils. One
cross wire feeding system, one welding machine. The System
MG 316 can be equipped with further additional equipment.
System MG 320
High efficiency mesh welding plant for high volumes and large
batch sizes. Double row welding plant, two cross wire feeding
systems, two welding machines. Two cross wires are welded
simultaneously. Line and cross wires fed from spools or coils.
A concept for the highest demands with regard to production
capacity, for the production of light and heavy standard mesh
panels. The System MG 320 can be equipped with further additional
equipment.
The following wire materials with a yield strength of 500 N/mm2 can be processed through our mesh
welding plants System MG 303, MG 316 and MG 320:
• Cold rolled plain or ribbed wire.
• Hot rolled ribbed wire with inline heat treatment, Tempcore (spray cooling and tempering section
right after the hot rolling mill).
• Hot rolled ribbed wire, micro alloyed.
• Hot rolled ribbed and subsequently stretched wire.
