MEISER has its own slitting plants, wire drawing devices and cold rolling centres. We are therefore able to design a
grating exactly in accordance with the requirements and wishes of our customers. Here, oversizing makes little sense,
while undersizing must be avoided under all circumstances. The ideal combination of material thickness and height,
associated with the matching steel quality, ensures the greatest possible economic benefits. That is our aspiration - not
more and not less. We would like to explain the best-known versions to you below:

Galvanising Plant at Schmelz-


Limbach

With the commissioning of the new hot dip galvanising


plant we began a new chapter in the summer of 2011.
Hot dip galvanising is the last but an important step in
the production of the grating and guarantees the long-
term corrosion protection of MEISER products without any
special maintenance measures. Our new building com-
bines attractive industrial architecture with state-of-the-
art technology. The environment and the employees ben-
efit from pollutant-free operations and exemplary working
conditions, which in no way resemble the conventional
image of a galvanising plant. Behind the beautiful fa-
cade, many areas of the building accommodate auto-
mated processes which ensure the highest possible level
of efficiency and quality.

Each individual grating is loaded according to schedule


into the galvanisation process and can be tracked from
the time it is hung up on the cross member to when it is
taken down on the lifting and lowering stations. There
is therefore no danger that grating will get „lost“ in the
galvanising process. Chemical pre-treatment, an en-
vironmentally sensitive process, is performed in a fully
enclosed area which passes the emissions produced
through an extraction system to a filter system, so that
our environment is not polluted in any way. Using a very
powerful dryer, we produce very clean and preheated sur-
faces before the galvanising process. This also has a
very positive effect on the consumption of zinc and the
surface quality. Zinc is a valuable raw material which has
to be handled with care.
16 SURFACE REFINEMENT

Surface refinement
MEISER grating is characterised by durability and high
quality. This crucially depends on the correct surface
treatment. In this respect we offer our customers numer-
ous possibilities - be this with the focus on functionality
or aesthetics. For the selection of the surface treatment
there are various factors which are decisive: the personal
preferences of our customer, their budget and questions
of corrosion protection.

Hot dip galvanising

MEISER grating manufactured from mild steel is usually


hot dip galvanised. In our new plant, which we put into
operation in 2011, this is carried out in accordance with
the specifications of DIN EN ISO 1461. State-of-the-art
galvanising and environmental technology guarantee
long-term corrosion protection which is able to withstand
the usual mechanical and chemical stresses without
problems.

Powder coating

If you would like to have your grating supplied in vari-


ous colours, powder coating is the least expensive and
most durable solution. In this process the grating is ini-
tially degreased in immersion baths, pickled and zinc-
phosphated. Then the powder coating material is applied
electrostatically and baked at approximately 180° C.

Particularly durable corrosion protection is offered by the


MEISER DUPLEX coating, which consists of hot dip gal-
vanising with subsequent powder coating. The powder
coating is available in all possible RAL colours in various
degrees of gloss and surface structures. Moreover, we are
able to provide the necessary layer thicknesses for all fea-
sible applications from C1 to C5-M.

Pickling (high-grade steel)

MEISER high-grade steel grating is usually pickled after


production, as during manufacture the welding process
results in scale and discolouration, which in turn repre-
sent potential points of attack for corrosion. In the pick-
ling process the grating is immersed in a pickling bath,
as a result of which they are provided with a metallically
pure and protected surface.
Intro-
duction
17

Electro-chemical-polishing (high-grade steel)

The electropolishing process represents a reversal of the


electroplating process. Under the influence of direct cur-
rent, metal is removed in an electrolyte from the anodic
surface of the workpiece. The result is smooth and shiny
surfaces which display a high level of corrosion resis-
tance and is very easy to clean.

Glass bead blasting

Through the use of glass beads as blasting material,


MEISER grating made of chrome steel and aluminium are
further refined. Blasting techniques serve to specifically
create matt or semi-gloss surfaces and to cover surface
defects in the material. The resulting semi-gloss effect is
permanently retained. The surface is cleaned of adhesive
foreign particles and also strengthened, as a result of
which its durability may be prolonged.

Anodising (aluminium)

MEISER grating made of aluminium is anodised as stan-


dard in order to prevent oxidation. In the anodising pro-
cess, which as a rule is carried out in an immersion bath,
the material is initially degreased and pickled before the
actual anodising process is performed. Here, the chemi-
cal process of electrolysis is used, with an oxidised pro-
tective layer being created on the aluminium. This can be
coloured if the natural aluminium colour is not desired.

Cathodic immersion bath coating (CDC)

CDC is a good combination of corrosion protection, qual-


ity, cost-effective and environmental friendly. Corrosion
protection that offers good resistance to mechanical and
chemical stress. The underlying physical principle in
electro-coating consists in attracting materials with op-
posite charges and producing very good adhesion as a
result.

Before the coating process a direct current is applied


to the workpiece, which is subsequently immersed in a
coating bath with oppositely charged coating particles. In
order to achieve maximum resistance of the coating, the
film subsequently hardens at approximately 180° Cel-
sius in the baking oven. Various layer thicknesses are
possible, although the colour selection is limited.

20 PRESS LOCKED GRATING

MEISER Press Locked Grating


The press locked grating is the most commonly used type
of grating in many European countries today. Thanks to
a production technology which differs significantly from
that used for the press welded grating, and which en-
500 to ables a much greater variety of products, this type of
grating provides for an almost unlimited number of ap-
plications. Its design allows for great flexibility regard-
ing the mesh size and the height and thickness of the
bearing bars. In combination with the variety of materials
from which press locked grating can be manufactured,
we produce grating that are exactly in line with the cus-
tomer‘s wishes and the intended use. We do not claim
that the press locked grating is the better grating, but it is
certainly the more attractive and individually customised
grating compared to the press welded grating.

For a press locked grating, the cross bars – which as a


rule are made of cold-rolled flat steel – are pressed into
the previously punched-out bearing bars. The banding
bars are designed as T-shaped or flat sections, and are
attached by means of automatic resistance welding. If
there is an increased risk of slipping, press locked grat-
ing can be manufactured in an anti-skid design. For this,
the bearing and/or cross bars are notched on the upper
side. With press locked grating, the opposite end meshes
are usually of equal size. But here, too, applies what has
been said above: there is almost no limit to the imagin-
able uses and designs of press locked grating.

From the name you can guess the intended application grating
of the MEISER heavy duty grating. This is press locked
grating with particularly deep and/or thick bearing bars.
The dimensions of the cross bar are adapted accordingly.

Counter gear teeth during the pressing process gives the


MEISER heavy duty grating additional stability, so that
surface loads of more than 50 tonnes and wheel loads of
10 tonnes can be withstood without difficulty.

We adapt the exact design from case to case to the width


between supports and the intended use. Production in
high-grade steel is also possible.

This special design of the louvre grating combines the
technical properties of a conventional press locked grat-
ing and full grating with the attractive design of a louvre
grating. The full press locked louvre grating is particularly
suitable not only as facade cladding, but also as a cross-
over or walkway covering due to its static advantages.

The angle of the cross bars can be freely selected in


this version. The load-bearing capacity of the full press
locked louvre grating benefits from the very small punch
depth of the bearing bars, which is only 10 mm. MEISER
offers the full press locked louvre grating in steel, alu-
minium and high-grade steel. A notching in the bearing
bars is possible, so that this version also offers a high
level of slip resistance. Please note in your planning that
for this type of grating we can only produce cross bar
lengths up to 1,250 mm.

Patent Grating

The MEISER patent grating is produced with a patented


punch press connection, surrounded with a U-shaped
section and hot dip galvanised. The V-shaped cross bars
produce a high degree of stiffness and an outstanding
wiping effect.

The patent grating is therefore primarily used as a high-


quality boot scraper and an extremely stable and resilient
light well grating. A suitable angle frame with punched
wall anchors can be supplied upon request.

The patent grating is produced exclusively by MEISER.

Press

MEISER developed the ultra grating many years ago in grating
order to offer cut-to-size companies an alternative to
the conventional press welded mats in the form of a
500 to
press locked grating design. Specially developed joining
technology guarantees a solid connection between the
bearing and cross bars. The ultra grating mat is there-
fore ideally suited for further processing, as it is almost
impossible for the cross bars to become loose during
sawing.

The ultra grating mat is also available in cross bar Standard bearing bar profiles

MEISER Shelf Grating


MEISER shelf grating offers decisive advantages within
logistics systems compared to other shelf coverings. In
addition to their durability, they are above all permeable
to light and water. This is a key feature when sprinkler
systems are used. The high degree of transparency of the
grating means that plenty of light is able to enter, thus
providing high brightness levels in the logistics system;
moreover, the items stored on the shelves can be identi-
fied from below.

Ingenious detailed solutions mean that the grating is easily


installed and offers the additional integrated benefits. On the
following pages we present our solutions, which have been
developed together with the leading suppliers of logistics
systems.

This is the standard design, which can be manufactured


at low cost and which is suitable for various shelves of
the same depth, but with different cross-members.

Shelf grating, bearing bar with raised


edge surround

This grating has a raised edge surround, albeit only at


the ends of the bearing bars. The locking function is
therefore less pronounced, but the possible applications
are somewhat more flexible, as it is not necessary to use
a specific cross-member width.

Push-through protection is an important safety element in


shelf systems. If this has to be installed separately, it is
associated with considerable costs.

therefore be provided if the shelves are subjected to ex-
cessive loads.

Grating for Double Shelves

This shelf grating element consists of two grating panels


which are connected by a U-shaped section in the central

MEISER has always been at the forefront for reliability


and progress. In our most recently developed product, the
U-Channel grating, these two characteristics were impressively
combined. MEISER has developed a grating which is capable
of bearing up to 200 times its own weight.

This shelf grating was specifically developed for handling


cardboard boxes. This patented design makes it possible
to move these boxes on the deburred U-Channels without
damaging them.

58 SPECIAL GRATING

Finned Grating
MEISER finned grating stands out considerably compared
to a classical grating. The function of the cross bar is
taken over in this version by a pipe that is inserted cen-
trally in the bearing bars. This provides the finned grating
with a very high-quality appearance, although this is less
suitable for larger span widths.

In normal cases the finned grating is not provided with a


surround, particularly in order not to disrupt the very clear
design. Finned grating is often used as a high-quality
ventilation cover for use indoors. To this purpose they
can be manufactured from aluminium and high-grade
steel, or of course in the classical version of hot dip gal-
vanised steel. They can be further adapted to individual
requirements through the use of special bearing bar pro-
files and different pipe diameters.

Some locations such as swimming baths are places
where shoes are not usually worn. Here, a grating can be
very useful. For this reason we have developed a grating
which is also pleasant when walked on barefoot. The
cross bar is a U-shaped section that is pressed in at
a flat angle. The clearance between these treads is ap-
proximately 9 mm. They are manufactured from steel or

Comb Grating
MEISER comb grating is a press locked grating with
cross bars which protrude above the top surface of the
bearing bars. This makes the bearing bars almost in-
visible, so that the grating no longer looks like a grille,
but more like a comb. The emphasis on the cross bars
produces a very elegant and light appearance. The clear-
ance and number of bearing bars can be varied and are
adapted to the static requirements. There are also several
possible variations for the clearance of the cross bars.

MEISER comb grating can have a variety of uses, al-


though their main application is usually where there are LINEAR SHAPE
high aesthetical demands on appearance. This grating is
therefore frequently found as a covering indoors, e.g. for
air conditioning systems and heating ducts, but also as a
high-quality channel grate and facade cladding in order
to emphasise horizontal or vertical lines.
Special
The special arrangement of the bearing and cross bars Grating
means that they can also be readily used as sun shade
elements. Like the finned grating, the comb grating can
also be produced with different materials and surfaces;
furthermore, special profiles can be used as the cross
bar for this special grating in order to provide particularly
attractive effects. ROUNDED SHAPE

The MEISER Tolsun is a designer grating produced exclu-


sively by MEISER. Developed by our French colleagues,
the name expresses one of its important advantages,
namely sun shielding.

Specially profiled aluminium fins, which are modelled on


the wings of an aeroplane, serve as cross bars and give
the Tolsun a special aesthetic touch. As a facade ele-
ment, the Tolsun guarantees excellent sun shielding, but
nevertheless a natural air supply as well, and thereby
makes a significant contribution to an all-round air-con-
ditioning system and high levels of thermal comfort.

MEISER offers the Tolsun with a well thought-out idea


for the means of attachment as an all-round solution for
the design of the facade with an air conditioning effect.
The Tolsun is an architecturally appealing and very high-
quality product. The lightweight design and the possi-
bility of producing one-part and large-surface elements
provide good value for money. The MEISER Tolsun is only
available in aluminium, but can be customised to your
individual needs by colour anodising or colour coating.

Fences

MEISER fence grating is fundamentally a grating with


special edge surrounds. Depending on the purpose of
the fence, the design can be very light and transparent,
but also very stable and close-meshed, e.g. as a crowd
barrier at events.

The fence height and field size can be individually se-


lected, as can the material of the fence and the surface
design. As a rule, the fence elements are enclosed with
a flat bar, which contains slotted holes for easy mount-
ing to the fence posts.

Upon request, MEISER can supply entire fence systems,


including installation.

Press Locked Grating Treads


Press locked grating treads can be produced from mild
steel, high-grade steel and aluminium. They are produced
in accordance with the same principle as for press locked
grating. It is possible to provide these stair treads with an-
ti-skid-properties up to R13 by including special notches
on the bearing bars and cross bars. Even very large tread
widths can be produced by designing the bearing bars in
the same way as heavy duty grating. Thus it is possible for
even extreme loads to be reliably absorbed.

Press Welded Grating Treads


Press welded grating treads can be produced from mild
steel and high-grade steel. Here too, production is based
on the process used for the manufacture of press welded
grating. It is possible to provide this tread design with anti-
skid-properties up to R12.

Endplates
For standard stair treads, the safety endplate with bead
is generally used. However, upon request a special end-
plate with a different drill-hole size can be attached. From
a bearing bar height of 50 x 3 mm upwards the drill-hole
size should be coordinated in all cases in order to avoid
installation problems.

For the purposes of slip resistance and in order to increase
their load-bearing capacity, stair treads are provided on
the front edge with a perforated, specially shaped angle
section. This so-called nosing is welded together with the
endplate and the bearing bar and contributes to reinforc-

Safety nosing 70 mm

In the case of publicly accessible staircases, regulations


are increasingly specifying a maximum clearance of 120
mm between the treads. We have taken this specification
into account with a 70 mm-high nosing and therefore
fulfil ÖNORM B 5371, which in the case of pitches of up
to 190 mm permits a maximum step-through height of
120 mm.

Clips

MEISER grating fixing clips are an important part of our service. The
grating can only fulfil its function properly if it is correctly attached,
as otherwise accidents can quickly happen. MEISER has the proper
fixing clip for every application, from the simple standard clamp to
the customised individual solution MEISER produces many clamps
itself, but also works together with well-known fastening specialists.

Together with the HILTI company, the XMGR clamp has been devel-
oped, which is insensitive to vibrations and offers enormous instal-
lation advantages. On the following pages we show you the most
common safety systems, which in most cases represent a good and
low-cost solution.

Staircases
MEISER staircases are almost always manufactured on
the basis of a request from a customer and often make a
significant contribution to the aesthetic appearance of a
building. In addition, a MEISER staircase must of course
also reliably fulfil its function and satisfy statutory re-
quirements to a level of 100 %. This is easier said than
done, as the specifications of the DIN standards, German
statutory accident insurance, German accident preven-
tion regulations etc. are very extensive and differ from
state to state, also within Germany.

But you can rely on MEISER, because we know exactly


which regulations are in force, so that you do not experi-
ence a nasty surprise during the acceptance test. MEISER
staircases can be constructed in a straight or winding
version, with the spiral staircase being a particularly ap-
pealing challenge for MEISER. Ultimately it is personal
taste, the space available and the budget which deter-
mine the design that is selected. We will be pleased to
advise you and also carry out the measurements on site.
81

Profile Grating
MEISER sheet metal profile grating is an alternative to
standard MEISER grating, especially when large span
widths have to be bridged or a more closed surface is re-
quired. The special embossing and perforation of the sur-
Product
face ensure very high levels of slip resistance. Everywhere Range
in industry where work is carried out with glide-enhancing
substances, sheet metal profile grating is a good choice.

The possibility of producing elements of up to a length


of 6,50 metres ensures fast installation, which is further
accelerated with innovative fixing clips that we have devel-
oped ourselves. For indoor applications it is also possible
to use sheet metal profile grating consisting of sendzimir-
galvanised steel strip. This results in a significant cost ad-
vantage. One special field is non-flammable sheet metal
profile grating. This version has been tested and certified
by the MFPA (Material Research and Testing Institute) and
is suitable, for example, as a transformer tray covering.

Galvanised strip/barrel hoop


In our strip galvanising plant, the steel strip that we have
previously slit is galvanised in the continuous process.
We specialise in the galvanising of narrow strips with a
galvanised edge. Various zinc coatings are possible, as
are different packing sizes. We supply galvanised slit coil
from 19 x 1.3 to 90 x 5 mm, as coil goods or in bars.
Our specialities include earthing straps and their further
processing into barrel hoops.

Vineyard fence posts


The use of machinery and the optimisation of working
routines in vineyards are becoming increasingly im-
portant. Specifically for the use of harvesters, MEISER
offers a vineyard fence post system together with the
distribution partner artos. It consists of fence posts
with hooks located on the inside or outside, as well
as restraining posts, which together guarantee opti-
mum covering. Exactly how this works can be seen at
www.artos-weinbergpfahl.de.

Fall protection mats and spot-


welded wire meshes
The possible uses for spot-welded wire meshes are very
varied. They represent a convenient solution for securing
specific areas or plants. They are fastened on site or to-
gether with prefabricated posts. The wire meshes consist
of steel wires welded together crosswise whose diameter
- depending on the load situation - is between 3 and 6
mm. The length and width of the elements can be freely
selected within the product range.

In the automotive industry, so-called fall protection mats


have become popular as a sophisticated solution for se-
curing and inspecting production lines. MEISER delivers
for all major car manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Mer-
cedes, VW, in accordance with the standards in force in
each case.

The table applies to the standard mesh spacing of 33.3 x 33.3 and material S235 JR+N St 37-2. The values represent
the maximum permitted load-bearing capacity of the grating.

For the load on grating made of material S355 JR, the maximum load to the left of the black line can be multiplied by
1.5, whereas to the right of it the value remains the same.

The width between supports is the clear width between the bearings of the grating. The grating landing for grating panels
should be not less than the height of the grating, but always a minimum of 30 mm.

FP is the maximum point loading in kn on the load cube 200 x 200 mm. FV is the maximum uniformly distributed
surface load in kn/m².

Anti-Skid-Properties

Fall protection safety


In recent years the issue of the slip resistance of walkable
surfaces has gained in importance. Wherever work is
carried out with glide-enhancing substances, i.e. where
oils, greases and emulsions are used, there is an in-

2500
creased risk of slipping.

Outdoors, the weather plays a crucial role. Rain and


snow quickly transform many areas into slides. However,

These greatly reduce the risk of slipping. Depending on

The pointed tooth serration is used exclusively for


press welded grating. In this form, the bearing bar is
provided with particularly sharp notches by arranging
crescent-shaped recesses continuously next to one
another. This significantly increases the slip-resistant
properties of this type of grating. With this profile it
is possible to achieve slip resistance class R12 with
certain mesh widths.

S a w To o t h S l i d e S e r r a t i o n S R 2

Saw tooth slide serration is only possible in the case


of press locked grating and is characterised by the
saw tooth-shaped notching of the bearing bars and/
or cross bars. With this form of slide protection, the
maximum slip resistance class that can be reached is
R12. This slide protection profile forms a basis for oth-
er special forms in accordance with foreign standards
(e.g. Danish Railways). Please contact us about this
if required.

Super Slide Serration SR3

Super slide serration is only possible in the case of


press locked grating and is characterised by extremely
high levels of anti-skid-properties. Here, the bearing
bars and cross bars are punched to be particularly
sharp-edged. With this form, the highest resistance
class, i.e. R13, can be reached. This type of serration
is used particularly in the food industry and in areas
with high levels of contamination or regular contact
with liquids.

Standard Slide Serration SR4

The standard slide serration is characterised by the


semi-circular notching on the bearing bars and/or
cross bars, with residual webs being left between the
notches. This means that in the case of press locked
grating, a slip resistance class of up to R12 (notch-
ing of the bearing bar and cross bar) and in the case
of press welded grating up to R11 (notching only
possible on the bearing bar) can be achieved. This
version is used as the standard grating in outdoor
areas which are regularly frequented and accessed.

Service

MEISER understands service as offering its customers the


greatest possible additional benefits with the punctual
delivery of high-quality products. This begins with our
offering you an extensive planning service. As profes-
sionals in the field of grating, we are able to plan an ap-
plication faster and better than a planner who only deals
with this topic from time to time or even for the first time.

A further special attraction for us is solving unusual


tasks. We do not want to reduce your ideas to the pos-
sibilities at our disposal, but rather expand our possibili-
ties through the development of new solutions. That is
why new tasks are not only a technical challenge to us,
but also the opportunity to improve and develop as a
company.

Put us to the test!

Planning / Manufacturing / Assembling

Our offer to you includes the planning, manufacture and,


upon request, assembly and preparation of installation
plans — all under one roof. The continuous development
of new products and the refinement of existing ones for
a wide range of applications enable us to satisfy your
requirements. Service is our top priority. For you this
means:

- Advice on design, standards and regulations


- Preparation of assembly and manufacturing drawings
- Development of customer-specific special solutions.

For us, quality assurance is a matter of course. The de-


signs comply — where necessary — with the latest DIN
/ EN standards, the conditions of the German accident
prevention regulations and the specifications of the Pro-
fessional Associations.
109

External Sales Force


Know how, quality, modern machinery, reliability and the
best possible solutions to problems are the pillars on
which our work is based.

Nevertheless, this is not the most important part of what


makes us successful, but rather our employees, who step
up to the plate every day to give their best on your behalf
and position us successfully in the market.

This applies to everyone in our company - and


that makes us proud. Business is done between
people and not between systems. In order to en-
sure this in a sustainable manner and really be
able to satisfy your wishes and requirements, the
MEISER company puts its faith in an old, but tried and
tested sales strategy: support from our professional ex-
ternal sales force on site in your company.

Put your faith in short communication channels and reli-


able contact persons who advise you on the basis of
their experience and expertise, highlight possible solu-
tions and will immediately provide you with assistance in
the event that not everything is running smoothly. In our
opinion this is the only correct way to ensure that your
requirements are met.

We will not abandon this course, because it is the way


to achieve quality and reliability which begins with the
products and certainly does not end with customer sup-
port.

Service and Complaints


Management

The prerequisite for the long-term satisfaction of our cus-


tomers is good support - also after their purchase. A well-
functioning service and complaints management system
is an important part of our corporate culture and an es-
sential part of successful and long-term cooperation.

We see it as our task to scrutinise our processes at regu-


lar intervals, initiate preventative measures and optimise
our processes in order to be able to offer you an optimum
service.

However, should something go wrong, the speedy pro-


cessing of a complaint and the regular provision of in-
formation to our customers about progress with respect
to processing the complaint is a matter of course for our
employees.

Our service team is always there for you.

Quality „made in Germany“

MEISER has for many years focused on Germany as its


business location. Through the further expansion of our
production location in Limbach and Oelsnitz, MEISER
now employs over 1,500 people in Germany. Our prod-
ucts therefore deserve the designation „Made in Germa-
ny“.

However, we use these not only to supply our German


customers, but also to export our products to the whole
world. In response to specific customer wishes, we have
already had our manufacturing processes verified in ac-
cordance with DIN EN 1090-2 Exc 2. As a result, we can
in specific cases - and after prior arrangement with the
customer - issue a CE mark for the products manufac-
tured by MEISER.

Environment (DIN EN 50001)

Every company has to be aware of its responsibility


towards our environment. For MEISER this means the
firm anchoring of this idea in the corporate culture and
therefore also in the minds of our employees. With the
introduction of an energy and environmental manage-
ment system during the course of 2013, we intend to
implement this principle consistently and embed it in our
production process.

As a company that produces in Germany, the highest


environmental standards in the world already apply to
MEISER. Our production is not associated with any harm-
ful emissions whatsoever for the environment, and we
strictly adhere to resource-saving production techniques.
Our new hot dip galvanising plant is one of the most
modern plants in Europe and no longer has anything in
common with many old plants which are still in opera-
tion today. We generate a significant share of the electric-
ity we need ourselves with our own solar energy systems
and make use of the exhaust heat created by the produc-
tion process for the production of hot water.

We offer our employees a safe, modern and pleasant


workplace. MEISER also understands reliability to mean
that our customers can rely on the fact that we respect
and protect our environment.
