16 Kg Pneumatic Forging Hammer

C41-16

The smallest machine in the range and the one most artisan smiths start with. It draws and shapes round steel up to 22 mm and square up to 20 mm, at 258 blows a minute. Runs on a 2 HP motor, so a single phase workshop supply is usually enough. At 240 kg it sits on a modest foundation and does not need a heavy pit.

Specification	16 kg
Weight of falling parts	16 kg
Maximum blow energy	0.18 kJ
Blows per minute	258
Height of working area	180 mm
Die surface, top and bottom	70 × 40 mm
Max square steel forged	20 × 20 mm
Max round steel forged	Ø 22 mm
Main motor	1.5 kW / 2 HP
Motor speed	1440 rpm
Total weight	240 kg
Overall L × W × H	660 × 420 × 970 mm

20 Kg Air Hammer Machine

C41-20

A step up in reach rather than speed. The 20 kg takes round steel to 35 mm and square to 30 mm on a 90 × 50 mm die, which covers most small agricultural tool work — sickles, hoes, blades and hand tools. 3 HP motor, 380 kg.

Specification	20 kg
Weight of falling parts	20 kg
Maximum blow energy	0.22 kJ
Blows per minute	255
Height of working area	200 mm
Die surface, top and bottom	90 × 50 mm
Max square steel forged	30 × 30 mm
Max round steel forged	Ø 35 mm
Main motor	2.2 kW / 3 HP
Motor speed	1440 rpm
Total weight	380 kg
Overall L × W × H	820 × 460 × 1110 mm

25 Kg Power Hammer

C41-25

The size most general forging shops settle on. A 240 mm working height and a 100 × 50 mm die give room to work, and it handles round steel to 45 mm. If you are forging a mixed range of jobs rather than one repeated part, this is usually the right machine.

Specification	25 kg
Weight of falling parts	25 kg
Maximum blow energy	0.27 kJ
Blows per minute	250
Height of working area	240 mm
Die surface, top and bottom	100 × 50 mm
Max square steel forged	40 × 40 mm
Max round steel forged	Ø 45 mm
Main motor	3 kW / 4 HP
Motor speed	1440 rpm
Total weight	560 kg
Overall L × W × H	980 × 510 × 1200 mm

40 Kg Pneumatic Forging Hammer

C41-40

Production territory. Round steel to 68 mm and square to 52 mm at 0.53 kJ per blow, which is roughly double the 25 kg. Suited to shops running the same forging repeatedly, and to bolster die work where the blow has to land the same way every time. 5.5 HP motor, 880 kg.

Specification	40 kg
Weight of falling parts	40 kg
Maximum blow energy	0.53 kJ
Blows per minute	245
Height of working area	245 mm
Die surface, top and bottom	120 × 50 mm
Max square steel forged	52 × 52 mm
Max round steel forged	Ø 68 mm
Main motor	4 kW / 5.5 HP
Motor speed	1440 rpm
Total weight	880 kg
Overall L × W × H	1080 × 600 × 1430 mm

55 Kg Air Forging Hammer

C41-55

The heaviest in our standard range at 0.7 kJ per blow. Same forging capacity in section as the 40 kg but with more energy behind each strike, so heavy sections move in fewer blows and the operator works less. At 1,700 kg it wants a proper foundation. 7.5 HP motor.

Specification	55 kg
Weight of falling parts	55 kg
Maximum blow energy	0.70 kJ
Blows per minute	230
Height of working area	265 mm
Die surface, top and bottom	120 × 55 mm
Max square steel forged	52 × 52 mm
Max round steel forged	Ø 68 mm
Main motor	5.5 kW / 7.5 HP
Motor speed	1440 rpm
Total weight	1,700 kg
Overall L × W × H	1320 × 670 × 1620 mm

75 kg, 150 kg and above — to order

The series continues beyond 55 kg for heavy production forging. Tell us the section you forge and the shape you need, and we will confirm the right machine and quote against it.

What it does

Forging operations

Who buys them

Workshops we supply

No compressor needed

The compression cylinder is built into the machine. Connect power and it runs — nothing else to buy.

Delivered across India

We arrange transport from Batala to your site, so you are not chasing a transporter yourself.

One year warranty

Covered against technical fault for a full year from delivery, on every machine we supply.

Support that answers

Most questions are settled the same day over a video call with someone who knows the machine.

Freight and site visits are charged at actual. Installation is not included in the machine price and can be arranged on request.

Before you enquire

Forging hammer buying questions

Do I need a separate air compressor?

No. These are self-contained. The machine carries its own compression cylinder alongside the working cylinder, so you connect power and it runs. This is the most common misunderstanding about air hammers — people budget for a compressor they do not need.

What size forging hammer do I need?

Work from the heaviest section you forge, not the lightest. A 25 kg hammer handles round steel to 45 mm and a 40 kg handles 68 mm. If most of your work is at the top of a machine's range, take the next size up — the hammer will last longer and the operator will finish jobs in fewer blows.

Air hammer or power hammer — what is the difference?

In Indian workshops the terms are used for the same machine. Pneumatic forging hammer, air hammer, power hammer and blacksmith hammer all describe this type. A mechanical or spring hammer is a different design and is not what we supply.

What foundation does it need?

A concrete foundation sized to the machine, with the anvil block seated properly. The smaller machines up to 25 kg need very little. The 55 kg at 1,700 kg needs a proper pit. We send the foundation drawing with the order.

Can I forge in dies?

Yes. All sizes take bolster dies for repeated shapes, in addition to open die work — drawing out, upsetting, punching, bending, twisting, forge welding and hot shearing.

Do you supply larger than 55 kg?

Yes. The series continues at 75 kg and 150 kg, and heavier machines are available to order. Tell us the section you forge and we will confirm the right size.
