Cutting section: euskalforging has cutting centres, which, once programmed, carry out the process automatically, as well as band saws. These automated centres perform cuts using discs, ensuring a higher cutting speed, while the other saws use cutting bands, which minimize material loss during the process.
Heating section: euskalforging has gas-fired furnaces that are checked periodically to guarantee maximum precision at all times, both in terms of temperature and uniformity throughout the furnace interior.
Pressing and rolling phase: euskalforging has four automated presses and five rolling mills, which offer the widest range of rings: from 400 mm to 10,000 mm in outer diameter. Three presses at euskalforging are automatic and programmable, allowing for serial production where the process must be homogeneous for all parts. The five rolling mills at euskalforging are different from each other, covering the broadest range of rings available on the market, with the largest mill capable of manufacturing rings up to 10,000 mm in outer diameter and 80,000 kg in weight.
Heat treatment phase: once the rings are rolled, euskalforging has gas-fired and electric furnaces, as well as quenching tanks with water or polymers, allowing compliance with client specifications. These furnaces are installed in two automated plants that ensure smooth transition times between furnaces, tanks, and cooling centres, so that manufacturing processes are homogeneous for the same production batches.
Machining section: finally, euskalforging has its own machining section with lathes and drilling machines, enabling delivery of rings according to the client’s drawings. All machining equipment at euskalforging allows machining of its wide range of rings, from 400 mm to 10,000 mm in outer diameter.
