12,000 Ton LOEWY WATER HYDRAULIC EXTRUSION PRESS (13867)

MACHINE 13867

12,000 ton LOEWY-HYDROPRESS Heavy-Duty Water Hydraulic Extrusion
Press w/Mandrel System for producing hollow parts such as Heavy
Walled Pipe

Note: The Water Hydraulic Pumps that supplied the Press are not
included as they are part of a larger Hydraulic System which
supplies several other Presses.

The Press comes complete with the following:
All Valving
Prefill and Atmospheric Tanks
All related piping
All existing Entry and Exit feed tables
A Track-Mounted Action model 2860 Billet Manipulator installed
next to the Press.
Note that the manipulator needs some new valving and manifold as
well as some linkages to be 100%. The control system is still
intact and the stand-alone Hydraulic Unit that accompanies the
Manipulator will also be included. Hydraulic schematics and the
drawings to fabricate all of the components needed on the boom
and head are available. The Manipulator has a working Carrying
Capacity of 6,000 lbs fully extended but is rated at 10,000 lbs.
Complete Electrical System including all Control Cabinets
installed new in 2013
PLC Controls including the Operator Console Pulpit installed new
in 2013
A large assortment of available spare parts
All existing documentation including manuals, electrical and
hydraulic schematics, foundation drawings, etc.

Additional info:
There is an existing Furnace installed next to the Press that
could be available at additional cost as a separate item. It is
an O'Brien and Gere Pulse Fire Box Furnace with an external
footprint of 28' Wide x 22' Deep x 27' Tall. Inside Dimensions
are 22' Wide x 11' Deep x 9' Tall. If interested then we will
provide a separate offer for the Furnace. The Furnace was
installed new in 2012.

In 2013 the Press was rebuilt and upgraded at a cost of over
$3,500,000. USD. The Press Containers were rebuilt, all valves
were rebuilt with new wear components, all brass was replaced for
the container and rams and the Runout Table, the Quench System
and the Kick-Off Rack were all rebuilt. Container Heating,
Velocity and Tonnage control were all improved and a New Chop Saw
was installed. Finally, all new PLC Controls and Control Pulpit
were installed.

After this work was done, the press only ran through the end of
2014 and was shut down due to excess manufacturing capacity in
the plant.

The Press has been very well maintained and is in excellent
working condition.

It was used to produce materials such as Duplex, Super Duplex,
Nickel Alloys, Titanium Alloys, 300 Series Stainless, 400 Series
Stainless, 9 Chrome (aka P91) and Carbon Steel.

In addition to pipes it also made an array of shapes.

It was last used to produce heavy pipe up to 508mm (20") diameter
and up to 50.8mm (2") wall thickness.

On some diameters products were extruded up to 70 feet long and
then Saw Cut to length.

It is installed in a plant in the USA
and may be shown under power in case of serious interest!
