Perforated plate is manufactured by cold punching sheets of metal with an arrangement of holes of any shape and size in various patterns. There is a large variety of perforated sheet and we only stock the more popular specifications although others are available to special order.
Perforated plate materials are aluminum sheet, stainless steel sheet and galvanized sheet. With the lightweight features, aluminum perforated plate is usually used in flooring as checker plate.
Perforated plates are used in a vast number of industries for sorting and screening any material from sugar and spice to sand and gravel. They are used extensively in heating and ventilating installations where they combine the practical with the ornamental.
We manufacture an other style aluminium tread plate sheet with pressed patterns as the left picture in the one row shown: pressed perforations at 14 mm – 20 mm centres and centre hole approx. 2 mm – 4 mm. This tread plate sheet in 3 mm or 4 mm thickness has an anti-slip surface and can be used on an ramp.
