American Forge & Foundry 35-Ton Floor Press (834)
The American Forge & Foundry 35-Ton Floor Press (834) is a heavy-duty air/hydraulic shop press designed to meet the rigorous demands of automotive and industrial applications. Crafted with an industrial-grade, fully welded structural steel frame, this press provides exceptional strength and reliability for the most challenging tasks. It's an essential piece of equipment for professionals needing to perform critical straightening, bending, and component removal operations with precision and ease.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
High-Capacity Performance: Offers a substantial 35-ton (70,000 lb) pressing capacity, making it suitable for a wide range of heavy-duty tasks like straightening large metal pieces or pressing in tough bearings.
Dual Operation System: Equipped with both a two-speed hand pump for rapid travel to the load and an air/hydraulic pump for effortless, controlled pressing, providing flexibility and efficiency in your workflow.
Adjustable Press Bed with Winch: Features a convenient winch-operated press bed with 7 different adjustment levels, allowing for quick and easy positioning of the work surface to accommodate various project sizes and working heights.
Integrated Pressure Monitoring: A frame-mounted hydraulic pressure gauge provides clear, accurate readings of the applied force, ensuring precise control and preventing over-pressurization during critical operations.
Robust Structural Integrity: Constructed with a rugged structural steel frame and a fully welded design, providing superior strength and preventing frame flexing even at full capacity, ensuring long-term service and consistent performance.
Versatile Applications: Ideal for a wide array of shop tasks including the removal and installation of gears, bushings, and bearings, as well as metal bending, straightening, and flattening applications.
Capacity: 35 Tons (70,000 lbs)
Base Width: 30 inches
Bed Rail Opening: 7.5 inches
Height: 66 inches
Post Opening: 24 inches
Ram Stroke: 6.5 inches
Space Interval: 4.5 inches
Working Air Pressure (PSI): 90-150
Ship Weight: 312 lbs.
Included: 2 pressing plates
Preparation: Ensure the press is on a stable, level surface and connected to an air supply (90-150 PSI) if using the air/hydraulic pump. Gather the necessary pressing plates or tooling for your specific task.
Adjusting the Press Bed: Use the integrated winch to raise or lower the press bed to one of the 7 available adjustment levels. Position the bed so that your workpiece will be at an optimal height for pressing and stability.
Positioning the Workpiece: Place your workpiece, along with any necessary pressing plates or fixtures, securely on the press bed, ensuring it is centered directly under the ram.
Lowering the Ram: Use the two-speed hand pump to quickly bring the ram down close to the workpiece. This manual operation allows for faster travel to the load.
Applying Pressure: Once the ram is near the workpiece, switch to the air/hydraulic pump for precise and effortless application of pressure. Monitor the frame-mounted hydraulic pressure gauge to apply the desired force.
Releasing Pressure: After the task is complete, release the pressure slowly and carefully. Allow the ram to retract fully before removing the workpiece.
Storage: When not in use, ensure the ram is fully retracted and the press is stored in a clean, dry area.
