Hydraulic hot forming press from 24 to 35 t specifically for knife makers.
Knife makers generally have small spaces, and our open-die forging presses are designed for this. They are powered by standard high-pressure cleaners, and only water circulates in a closed circuit. The washing function with water from the house pipe is maintained. If a hose bursts, there is no fire hazard. If you already have a high-pressure cleaner with sufficient power, then our offer is unnecessary. Depending on the power of the pressure cleaner, the press delivers between 24 and 32 t. Pressing speed 1 cm/sec and slightly higher. If you have three-phase current available, we recommend our high-pressure cleaner as shown in the first picture: from Comet, model K 250 11/210 T Classic. It has a pressure of 210 bar and delivers 11 l/min. The press then delivers 35 t. Pressing speed = 1 cm/sec.


The cooling speed of the hot steel also counts
The closed pressure chamber has the advantage that the side walls, i.e. the tube with a thickness of 15 mm, heat up and radiate towards the iron being forged.
Measurements of the pressing chamber
The height is 20 cm, the width 102 mm and the depth = tube diameter 180 mm. The arrows indicate the respective magnets. The second photo shows the strength of the magnets. In addition, the mould holder plates have M 10 threads.

We offer what our competitors with oil hydraulics cannot: sandblasting

Sensitive foot pedal control
Usually, hydraulic presses have electromechanical foot pedal controls with a limit switch. Our hydraulic forging presses have no electrical circuit. They are controlled purely hydraulically without a limit switch. A suction valve with no moving parts lets the water either flow into the cylinder or sucks it back. Depending on whether you press the pedal down and the two-way seat valve closes or opens, the pressure in the system increases or decreases. If the system pressure is higher, the water flows into the cylinder; conversely, it is sucked back and raises the press ram. The only moving part in the control system is the valve. The two-way valve is the simplest type of valve. It requires no maintenance. And importantly: what isn't there can't break.
