COLD FORMED SECTIONS Ancon manufactures a diverse range of stainless steel cold formed sections using the latest high capacity computer controlled machinery.

Computer controlled press brakes, which are among the most advanced in the industry, enable the company to produce a wide range of section shapes up to 5m in length and from 2mm to 20mm in thickness. Typical Section Properties As an aid to the selection of appropriate cold formed sections the following page shows a small sample of section properties. A full list of properties is available from Ancon on request. Other typical section shapes include:

AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL Austenitic Stainless Steels are high in chromium and therefore offer excellent resistance to corrosion. They are ductile and strong, and can be readily formed and welded. Ancon holds considerable stocks of standard grade Austenitic stainless steel in order to meet urgent delivery deadlines. Grade 1.4301 (304) is the most commonly used and is suitable for a broad range of applications. Grade 1.4401 (316) is recommended for highly corrosive environments such as marine locations. Material can be supplied fully certificated if required.

Profiles

Lipped Channel

Ancillary Operations Sections can be offered with a range of ancillary operations including laser profiling, welded stiffeners, punched holes or slots and curves. Products can be supplied with a specific surface finish to suit the requirements of the application. Services available include electro-polishing and bead blasting.

STAIGRID OPEN GRID FLOORING Staigrid stainless steel grid is a lightweight, corrosion resistant open grid flooring, ideal for use where hygiene, low maintenance and assured long life are required. The combination of durability and high strength means Staigrid is a very cost-effective alternative to galvanised steel and aluminium grid floors. It is available in mill finish, pickled and passivated or electropolished finish. Stainless Steel Staigrid open grid flooring is available in either grade 304 or 316 and manufactured in standard sized panels of 1000mm max span x 989mm max width for ease of site handling. Panels can be produced to customers specific requirements within these dimensions using Ancon universal tooling. Each panel consists of 25mm x 5mm bearer bars at 41mm centres and 6mm rebar restraints at 100mm centres. Staigrid panels are supplied fully bound and full mill certification is available if required. When ordering please specify: 1. Grade of stainless steel required 2. Span, width and quantity of panels

Stainless Steel Sections & Flooring

STAINLESS STEEL FLOORPLATE Ancon is one of the UK's leading suppliers of stainless steel floorplate and offers a comprehensive range of full, cut and formed plates direct from stock. Stainless steel floorplate is available in a range of sizes and thicknesses in either cold pressed or hot rolled form. The selection of the grade of floorplate depends on the end use and appearance required. Two grades of stainless steel floorplate are available as standard: Grade 304 (1.4306) Austenitic and normally non-magnetic, this grade is used for both internal and external applications where good corrosion resistance is required. Grade 316 (1.4404) Also austenitic and normally non-magnetic, this grade has a higher corrosion resistance than grade 304 because it contains molybdenum. It is used in aggressive atmospheres where corrosion or pitting attack may be high. THIN GAUGE FLOORPLATE Thin gauge floorplate is available in 1, 2 and 3mm thicknesses and provides an alternative to aluminium flooring and cladding. The benefits of stainless steel floorplate over aluminium include increased durability and corrosion resistance, improved high and low temperature performance and an increased strength with thinner, lighter sections. This chequer plate is the ideal material for vehicles, food preparation areas, breweries etc where a hard wearing, corrosion resistant and aesthetically pleasing floor or cladding is required. Thin gauge floorplate can be supplied in plain plates or can be cold formed, drilled and profiled to individual requirements. It can be used as overcladding on corroded floors.

BENEFITS OF ANCON FLOORPLATE Corrosion Resistance Ancon Stainless Steel Floorplate offers excellent corrosion resistance in most industrial environments. Grade 316 is recommended for heavily polluted or marine environments. Hygiene Ancon Stainless Steel Floorplate has a free draining teardrop pattern which allows clearance of waste liquids and facilitates cleaning and hosing down. In clean room environments this floorplate is free from problems which can be caused by the flaking of surface protection which is applied to other flooring materials. Non-Magnetic Ancon Stainless Steel Floorplate is nonmagnetic which is particularly important where equipment sensitive to magnetic fields is used, such as hospitals with magnetic scanners. Wear Resistance Stainless steel is far more hard-wearing than mild steel or aluminium floorplate. Slip-Resistance Stainless steel floorplate provides a high degree of slip resistance to both pedestrian and wheeled traffic due to its raised teardrop pattern. Low Maintenance The properties of stainless steel floorplate provide the end user with floors requiring very little maintenance. The potential maintenance cost savings over the life of an installation are considerable.

FABRICATION SERVICES A full range of cutting, punching and fabrication services are available from Ancon. These include: Forming Stainless steel floorplate can be cold formed to produce treads, upstands etc. Profiling The floorplate is available in profiled shapes to allow easy installation around plant and equipment. Punching Floorplate can be supplied with holes and slots. Cutting Stainless steel floorplate can be supplied cut by shearing, laser or plasma arc cutting to customers individual requirements. Ancons cutting optimiser ensures the most efficient use of materials.

SURFACE FINISH Ancon Stainless Steel Floorplate is normally supplied with a hot rolled and descaled finish. Electro-polished surface finish is also available.
