System MG800 for highly flexible and productive reinforcement mesh production
The MG800 is a mesh welding machine designed to be used
wherever highly flexible and highly productive reinforcement mesh
manufacture is required. This new machine concept raises the bar; to
run reinforcement mesh production efficiently with less machinery, less
space, low labour costs and low inventories.

The mesh welding system MG316 is now even more powerful and efficient
The new MG316 is designed to manufacture reinforcement mesh in
sheets and rolls, as well as mine mesh efficiently. For this type of
production, the machine concept is characterized by very high
productivity, low operating costs and simple operation.
