Truss or Lattice girders are known as cubical reinforcing elements and are used for the production of prefab slabs, joist slabs and double walls in various forms.

Concerning prefab slabs, the lattice girders are used as strutting elements and as thrust and compound reinforcement for partially prefabricated concrete components which are finished on site with in situ concrete.

Lattice girders are also increasingly used in the production of socalled double walls where they constitute the bond between two panels which are finished on site with in situ concrete. The lattice girder reinforced joist ceiling with hollow bricks of clay or concrete holds an important market in Soutern Europe and in Central and South America.

The manufacture of reinforcing elements requires the combination of special know-how and an easy to use, flexible machine to produce them. FILZMOSER has been building such machines since the early 60´s and is the market leader.

The FIL-Lattice girder welding machines produce standard lattice girders, thrust girders and wall girders. Data records for 160 different types of lattice girders can be stored.

Lattice girders with various heights from 70 to 300 mm and with different diameters, up to 16 mm, are manufactured. Basic material is wire from coils.

FILZMOSER machines are characterized by extremely short times for changing of height and dimensions. High productivity by optimized cost/performance ratio is assured.

Other advantages of FIL Lattice girder machines are:

• Extremely short times for changing of height and dimensions.
• Setting of welding control via monitor and examination of welding points.
• Special welding electrodes which are not replaced when worn out but simply turned forward by one increment.
• High reliability of the process due to flexible stacking for girder packs of different lengths.
• Stacking by order reference is possible.
• Easy maintenance of all plant components.
• Automatic reminder of maintenance upon reaching preset output meters.

Types of maschines:

FIL-GH300: Lattice girder welding machines for standard girders

FIL-GH300ST: Lattice girder welding machines for standard girders and thrust girders

Optional Equipment:

The stacking device for lattice girders permits the stacking of the produced lattice girders into single vertical stacks or of several stacks into a pack.
