August Berger Metallwarenfabrik GmbH

BERGER develops tests and manufactures clamping rings for plastic, metal, stainless steel and fibre barrels in close cooperation with its customers. Since 1950, the supplier of the packaging industry has been manufacturing 4,000 different clamping rings.

The great advantage of clamping rings lies in their ease-of-use: They can be opened with just one hand. Clamping rings differ in size, material and profile, as well as whether they come with or without an overlap, and through their various fasteners.

BERGER manufactures lids made of steel with a diameter of 571.5 and 545 mm and a thickness of 0.6 to 1.2 mm for 220 litre barrels. The surface of the lid can be left blank, galvanized or lacquered in RAL colours on one or both sides. The lids have draw-in depths of 21, 26 and 37 mm, and sealing types include polyurethane, foam rubber and cotton amongst others. The lids can be equipped flexibly with ¾- and 2-inch spins in different combinations and positions.

BERGER offers seals in polyurethane (foamed), foam rubber (glued) and cotton for 220-litre steel barrels. Other seals on request.

BERGER has a wide range of different locking levers, which differ in form, size and material: quick release external lever locks, external lever locks with additional tensioning screw, internal lever locks, tension levers, clamps, eyelets with nuts and bolts, locks with locking tabs and screw caps.

Pipe suspensions are used to fix (suspend, position) pipes on walls, ceilings and floors. They differ in steel type, e.g. galvanized or stainless steel, and are available in different diameters. BERGER pipe suspensions are used, among other things, in ventilation systems, silos, large containers and in pipe and flange connections.. The dimensions of the pipe suspensions are a function of the diameter and weight of the pipes. In addition, special customer requirements can be realized by arrangement.

BERGER also offers the following accessories: Mounting plates in steel and galvanized in different thicknesses, steel and plastic seals in different sizes, case handles made of galvanized steel and non-galvanized in different shapes, bucket handles, bucket eyelets, ¾ and 2 inch steel clamps, locking aids in different shapes for clamping rings and tensioning straps made of plastic and steel. The accessories are best used in combination with the clamping rings, allowing customers to obtain all components from a single source and to profit from BERGER’s comprehensive product know-how.
