Technical File:

Hot forging single stroke PF series “Big Bang” Praber Presses for ferrous and non –ferrous metals.
Authentic high stiffness and speed single stroke hot forging press for ferrous and non –ferrous metals.

Series PF “Big Bang” Praber presses have been specifically designed, planned and manufactured for all stages of hot processing: deformation of billets, trimming and finishing of forged parts.

Equipped with two uprights and a thrust point Series PF “Big Bang” Praber presses are characterized by several plus: minimum dimensions, highest functionality and simplicity of use, as well as low maintenance costs and fuel consumption.

The high technological level of the machinery manufacture, the arrangement of its kinematic multi-linked parts and the significant length of the slide rails, allow the press to withstand heavy loads and work rates.

The design is performed using the most advanced dedicated software and it allows a very high level of customization of the machinery, supplemented in the end with innovative technological solutions by means of interlocks and accessories required by the different processing needs.

Any solution in the field of eccentric machineries is available, being able to benefit from every thrust, size, stroke and speed, the customer will find within Praber product range the optimal solution for every forging problem.

Field of application:
