1000 ton Hot forging press Massey
Massey 1000 ton hot forging press for high-speed forging cycles and repeatable ram motion in production. With a 254 mm stroke and up to 95 strokes per minute, this forging press is typically used for closed-die work, preforms and hot forming operations where throughput matters. The drive system (50 kW, 560 rpm) and industrial 380 V / 3-phase supply make it suitable for press shop lines handling heated billets, dies and tooling under continuous load.

A hot forging press is selected when you need controlled deformation force with repeatable stroke and stable guidance under heavy load. In many forging shops, a 1000 ton press sits in the mid-heavy range for producing forged components with closed dies, where the press frame rigidity, ram dimensions and daylight govern tooling options and part geometry.
The Massey press configuration listed here combines a 254 mm stroke with a fast cycle rate (95 spm), which is useful for series production where heating and transfer times are synchronized with the forging cycle. Typical operations include hot forming, upsetting, coining-like finishing steps, and die-based shaping where consistent bottom-of-stroke behavior helps control flash and part repeatability.
If you are comparing used hot forging presses, pay attention to stroke, strokes per minute, shut height / daylight, column opening, and the drive train dimensions (journal and shaft diameters) for long-term reliability. We can assist with inspection, dismantling, loading and export documentation depending on the current availability.
