Hobby blacksmiths usually have limited space and our table presses are designed for this. The press in the picture has a capacity of 24 t. It works with a normal pressure washer and in a closed circuit only water circulates; the washing function is maintained. If you already have a sufficiently powerful pressure washer, you do not need to buy one. Our pressure washer is the ETM 150 XTS 10/150 GX 230V50 HZ from the manufacturer Comet. It has a pressure of 140 bar and a flow rate of 10 l/min. The press has a pressure of 24 tons. Pressing speed = 1 cm/sec.

The control is via a foot pedal.

Thanks to its simple design, the press is maintenance-free.

The table shown in the picture is not for sale. Cutlers make it themselves or already have one.

The picture shows the 24 t forging press: 1 = press chamber. Width 102 mm and height 20 cm; 2 = pressure washer 3 = water tank;

The difference to the 24 t press is due to the high pressure cleaner K 250 with 200 bar

.In the picture to the right of the spray lance you can see the sandblasting accessories.

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.
