Steel-Industry Water Hydraulics

Forging and extrusion presses driven by water hydraulics offer significant advantages compared to oil-hydraulic equipment. They are environmentally friendly and do not cause soil remediation of oil-contaminated grounds. Furthermore, no fire safety devices are necessary and they can be positioned quickly and precisely.

Parallel to the pressure supply for new plants, we also deal with the modernization of high-pressure water supplies of existing old presses. With our very compact HYDROWATT radial piston pumps, we offer an ideal pump replacement for this segment. With an effective flow rate of up to 800 liters/min at 320 bar and 1'800 rpm, they are extremely powerful and competitive.
