Siempelkamp modernizes water-hydraulic
presses in Russia
Modernization is cheaper than new construction
Krefeld, Germany, July 6, 2012 – In April already JSC “Stupino
Metallurgical Company“ (SMK) placed an order with Siempelkamp
to modernize the water-hydraulic control of a 100-MN press of
Schloemann make as well as to provide for a corresponding new
die heating system. Also for the modification of the water-hydraulic
control of a 46-MN closed-die forging press into an open-die
forging press SMK decided in favor of the machine builder as
professional business partner located in Krefeld. Owing to this
order Siempelkamp demonstrates its position as full-line supplier
for press plants: mechanics, hydraulics and electrics are all from
one source.
SMK is one of the leading manufacturer for products made of heatresistant nickel alloys and special steels for the Russian aircraft industry:
The Siempelkamp customer makes parts for gas turbine drives. For its
location Stupino near Moscow SMK has been now projecting
modernization and retrofit of existing plants: owing to the new
Siempelkamp hydraulic systems the customer is able to provide for a
more precise control of the presses maintaining the central waterhydraulic stations.
By means of the water-hydraulic control especially developed for the
modernization of a 100-MN Schloemann press the moving crosshead
can be positioned more precisely by up to rates of 0.15mm/sec.
Additionally the parallelism of the moving crosshead is supported under
all conditions of operation. The innovative Siempelkamp system is also
beneficial for the following reason: special curves for speed and
pressure of the press are programmed and subsequently stored for
individual products. During the forging process a detailed report of the
achieved values that are subsequently filed is given to the user.
Included in the modernization package of the 100-MN press are
additionally the electric control and a die heating system. The latter one
is completely integrated in the control keeping the die at a constant
temperature of 900°C during the forging pause.
Through the modernization process repeatability, recording and filing of
the actual forming procedure is ensured. In addition to that the
production of work pieces made of granulated heat-resistant nickel
alloys is enabled through the technology “HIP + forming“.

For the modification of a 46-MN closed-die forging press into an opendie forging press Siempelkamp will also supply a new water-hydraulic
control as well as electric control for the plant of Stupino. The open-die
forging press can subsequently make up to 60 strokes per minute.
Additionally two rail-bound manipulators with rotary table will be
integrated into the installation.
For both modifications in the field of water-hydraulic controls
Siempelkamp relies on the cooperation with Hauhinco Maschinenfabrik
G. Hausherr Jochums GmbH & Co. KG in Sprockhövel. Hauhinco is one
of the leading system suppliers for water-hydraulic systems, highpressure pumps, valves and industrial components. The expert
successfully realized for instance the modernization of the water
hydraulics of the 500-MN closed-die forging press at Alcoa Forging &
Extrusions in Cleveland, the biggest press in the United States, in the
year 2010.
Upon the signatures of the contract the Siempelkamp engineers directly
started with the design works; commissioning of both presses are
scheduled for the end of 2012. After completion of all works the presses
at SMK will meet with the strict requirements of the aircraft industry. In
fact these presses will turn to new presses – however at lower cost for
project realization that for a new plant.
