Forging Capabilities

Forging Capabilities

Consolidated Industries has the capabilities to forge all alloy grades up to 250 pounds in open and closed die shapes. Forging is accomplished using hydraulic hammer and press equipment.

Our hammer shop facilities are equipped with state of the art programmable hydraulic hammer equipment ranging from 31.5 KJ to 160 KJ ratings. In their operation these hammers provide 16,000 pounds of impact energy for shaping metal.
