1500 Ton - 4500 Ton - 5000 Ton ![5000T Press](https://www.ellwoodcityforge.com/hubfs/ECF%20-%205000T%20Press%20Hi%20Res.jpg) ## 1500 Ton Press The Demag press is a 1500 ton hydraulic pull-down press that was installed in 1982. Two Glama manipulators, installed in 2006, are located on either side of the press and move the steel from side to side under the dies. The press operator controls the movement of the press, both manipulators, the automated die slide, and other ancillary equipment. This press is ideal for producing long bars and billets. Specialty swage die tooling is available to facilitate smoother surfaces than can typically be obtained with flat dies. This means better size control and more efficient stock removal.    ![1500T Press](https://www.ellwoodcityforge.com/hubfs/1500T%20Press-2.jpg) ## 4500 Ton Press Operated in cooperation with a partner company, the 4500 ton press is serviced by 2 - 50 ton mobile manipulators. This press has been operational since 1998 and was fully rebuilt in 2013.  ![4500T Press](https://www.ellwoodcityforge.com/hubfs/Images/4500TonPress.jpg) ## 5000 Ton Press A mobile manipulator capable of lifting 150,000 pounds transfers ingots from the heating furnace to the press. The 5000 ton push-down press has four columns and a moving crosshead. It is powered by 8 - 600 horsepower axial piston pumps. A fast forge valve provides the capability for high speed plannishing.  The press has 180 inches of daylight and 120 inches between columns. The press is equipped with an 8-station tool change magazine that allows for quick die changes. The top die has the capability of 360 degrees continuous rotation with locking mechanisms at 0 and 90 degree positions. Press controls provide enhanced diagnostics, on-line drawing viewer, and 12-station oscilloscope. ![5000T Press](https://www.ellwoodcityforge.com/hubfs/5000T%20Press%202-1.jpg) ## Conversion Services While we take pride in the fact that we have superior steelmaking abilities, we understand that our customers occasionally have the need to source ingots elsewhere.
