Our facilities

We offer you a full range of possibilities in Open Die Forgings- from 0,5 Tons up to 70 Tons through our unique facilities located in Ostrowiec. The main equipment is described below:

Steel Melting Shop equipped

• Arc Electric Furnace; capacity- 75 Ton, 25 MVA with EBT and a new dust collecting system,
• Ladle furnace with devices for out-of-furnace treatment,
• Vacuum degassing system 0,5 Tor and performance 0,8 ppm H2 (since the beginning of 2009-  0,7 ppm H2), O2 < 25 ppm, sulphur content <  0,005%
• New argon stream covers to prevent from reoxidation and rehydrogenation,  
• New vacuum system,
• New devices for state-of-the art computer controlled manipulation and operation  of the steel melting process,
• Vacuum refining and bottom pouring or vacuum top pouring processes,

We produce ingots of weight from 3 to 125 tons, which then are transferred  hot  in insulated wagons to the press shop for further treatment.

Press Shop

Our forging equipment includes the following:

• Four  hydraulic presses: 2000 T, 3200 T, 5000 T (fully revamped in 2008) and 8000 T
• Forging manipulator for each press
• TR devices for each press enabling forging of continuous grain flow crankshafts
• New, efficient, state-of-the-art-heating furnaces controlled by computer

WE ARE THE ONLY COMPANY IN THE WORLD THAT CAN MANUFACTURE CONTINUOUS GRAIN FLOW CRANKSHAFTS OF ALL SIZES 

Heat Treatment Shop

• Over 20 vertical and horizontal furnaces (max. 2.800 mm x 13.000 mm x 2.100 mm)
• Vertical gas heat treatment up to Ø 2.000 mm x 20.000 mm (one of the longest vertical soaking gas furnace in the world)
• 4 completes of hardness testing as well as a special device for surface hardness testing.
• Full range of heat treatment services (normalizing, through and surface hardening, quenching and tempering, annealing, stress relieving, etc.)
• A set of three, high technology advanced and very accurate, muffle furnace (120 t and 80 t loading) with quenching tanks.
