Hydraulic Wedge Crushing Press
Hydraulic Wedge Crushing Presses
High-Power and Precision Cleaning Solutions
Hydraulic wedge presses are high-tonnage, stationary machines designed to separate the gating, feeder, and gating systems of castings after production. In large parts where manual crushing methods are insufficient, or in production lines requiring high cycle speeds, they sever even the thickest metal connections in seconds without damaging the casting body.
Industrial Power and Cutting Quality
Our presses apply a controlled pressing force, generated by a hydraulic unit, to the gating joint via specially designed crushing blades or tools. This process ensures a "clean break" without damaging the metallurgical structure of the part or creating cracks on its surface.
Advantages of Hydraulic Wedge Crushing Presses
Key features that increase your production efficiency and part quality:
High Tonnage Crushing Force: Scalable hydraulic power that effortlessly cuts through even the hardest and thickest runner systems.
Clean Breaking Surface: Thanks to the blade geometry and controlled stroke, it reduces the need for post-casting grinding and surface treatment.
Occupational Safety and Ergonomics: Enclosed cabins or light barrier systems that protect the operator from flying metal fragments and fatigue caused by heavy hand tools.
Precise Stroke Control: Thanks to the adjustability of the breaking depth and speed, precise operation is achieved by targeting only the connection point without damaging the casting body.
Automation and Robotic Integration: By synchronizing with conveyor belts or robotic arms, it ensures full compatibility with unmanned casting cleaning cells.
Durable Blade and Tool Construction: Wear-resistant and impact-resistant, quickly replaceable hardened steel blade systems.
