Ajax/CECO/Erie Press horizontal forging machines, also known as upsetter machines, are engineered for longevity, reliable service, and top-tier productivity. We leverage innovative technology and design to deliver solutions that optimize your metal forging process.

• Advanced Air-Clutch Technology: Our exclusive air-clutch offers immediate response, combined with gentle, cushioned initiation at high operating speeds. This state-of-the-art feature is designed to enhance productivity, making Ajax/CECO/Erie your ideal partner for efficient upsetter forging operations.
• Extra Die Height Capacity: The generous die height in our forging machines creates room for additional forging operations. This enables the production of more intricately forged parts — a feature especially beneficial for larger automated machines, specifically those 4” and above.
• Cutting-Edge Controls and Automation: All Ajax/CECO/Erie forging machines are equipped with programmable controls and load monitors. We also offer automation capabilities on new equipment or as upgrades to existing machinery. Our state-of-the-art features ensure a smooth and efficient forging process, bolstering your production rates.

Let Ajax/CECO/Erie Press be your go-to solution for high-quality horizontal forging or upsetter machines. Discover a world of advanced manufacturing potential with our top-tier forging machinery.

Experience high-performance forging with Ajax/CECO/Erie Press Ball Forgers. Designed for high production, our solid-die ball forging machines complete a forging operation at each revolution, enhancing your throughput like never before.

• Precision Shearing & Forging: Each machine is engineered to take in a heated bar of appropriate diameter and length, transported by feed rolls against an adjustable stock gauge. The machine shears off a blank, molds it to shape, and ejects a completed forging with each revolution. Our powerful ejectors on both die and header eliminate the need for excessive draft.
• Near-Flashless Forging: For applications like mining balls, our ball forging machines ensure nearly flashless forgings, maintaining quality and reducing material waste.
• Upgraded for Increased Demand: With the global expansion of the mining industry, the demand for our solid-die ball forgers has grown significantly. Consequently, we’ve enhanced the design to accurately accommodate the largest stock diameter that can be sheared to forge specific size balls in a given machine size. For instance, our 2” machine can shear up to a 2” diameter bar, and so on.
