One of the world's leading manufacturers of reinforcement welding machines for the concrete, precast and construction industries, represented across the UK and Ireland by SRS Machinery Services.
Founded in Kisslegg, Germany in 1961 and now in its third generation, MBK has installed more than 1,200 machines in over 60 countries. The portfolio covers mesh welding, cage welding, truss welding, wire straightening and cutting, and integrated automation solutions for precast concrete, pipe, manhole and foundation applications. Every reinforced concrete product depends on the dimensional accuracy and weld integrity of its steel reinforcement. MBK machines determine whether that reinforcement meets structural specification, repeatably and at production scale. SRS Machinery Services supports MBK across the UK and Ireland from specification through to installation and aftersales.
Mesh Welding Machine
CAD-controlled reinforcement mesh welding systems for precast concrete production, delivering repeatable accuracy and high-output manufacturing directly from coil.
MBK mesh welding machines produce reinforcement meshes to individual CAD specifications, including openings for windows, doors and service penetrations. Mesh widths from 400 to 4,000mm and lengths up to 14,000mm cover precast wall, slab and panel applications. Integration with Unitechnik CAD/CAM systems enables direct data transfer from design to production, reducing manual intervention and error. The result is consistent mesh geometry, reduced rework and predictable throughput. SRS Machinery Services supports specification and installation across the UK and Ireland.
Cage Welding Machines for Masts and Conical Products
Flexible cage welding systems for structural elements with varying geometries, including masts, poles and conical products.
MBK ASM and VSM series machines produce reinforcement cages across round, rectangular and conical formats, with cage lengths up to 24 metres. Multiple welding technologies including resistance welding and inert gas arc allow adaptation to different wire diameters and structural requirements. These systems are built for applications where dimensional accuracy and structural integrity are non-negotiable. SRS Machinery Services supports specification and installation for UK and Ireland producers.
Cage Welding Machines for Driven and Bored Piles
High-output cage welding systems for foundation engineering, delivering the structural precision and production capacity that load-bearing applications demand.
MBK VSM and LSM series machines produce pile reinforcement cages across a wide range of diameters and configurations, with automated systems achieving outputs of up to 1,600 linear metres per shift. The LSM resistance welding process is up to five times faster than conventional arc welding, improving productivity while maintaining weld consistency. SRS Machinery Services supports system specification and installation across the UK and Ireland.
Truss Welding Machine
Automated lattice girder welding systems for precast construction, producing the structural connectors used in composite concrete elements.
MBK truss welding machines manufacture lattice girders for precast slabs, double walls and composite systems. These girders transfer shear forces between concrete layers and are critical to structural performance. The machines deliver consistent weld quality and dimensional accuracy required for structural certification, with high production rates aligned to modern precast output demands. SRS Machinery Services supports specification and installation across the UK and Ireland.
Wire Straightening and Cutting Machines
High-speed wire processing systems ensuring consistent longitudinal wire quality for downstream mesh and cage welding operations.
MBK's DRA series processes wire diameters from 4 to 20mm at speeds up to 140 metres per minute. Straightened and cut wires feed directly into welding lines, eliminating manual preparation and reducing handling. Automatic wire change systems and multi-rotor configurations enable continuous operation, improving throughput and reducing labour dependency. SRS Machinery Services supports DRA system specification and integration across the UK and Ireland.
Cage Welding Machines for Manholes and Concrete Pipes
Purpose-built systems for pipe and manhole reinforcement production, optimised for geometry, throughput and material efficiency.
MBK BSM series machines produce cages from 220 to 5,200mm diameter, covering the full range of pipe and manhole applications. The patented round-oval-round cage geometry reduces reinforcement material requirements by up to 50% while maintaining structural performance, lowering both material and production costs. Automated configurations achieve up to 50 cages per hour with minimal operator input. SRS Machinery Services supports BSM specification and installation across the UK and Ireland.
Automated Solutions
Integrated automation systems for reinforcement production, reducing labour input and improving process consistency from wire to finished cage.
MBK automation covers longitudinal wire feeding, automatic winding wire change, cage handling, buffer systems and direct transfer integration with downstream production machinery. The ALZ-M longitudinal wire feeder loads all wires for a complete cage in a single automated step. Modern control architecture enables remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance, reducing downtime and service response times. SRS Machinery Services supports automation specification and implementation across the UK and Ireland.
