Hammers and direct drive screw presses have long been pivotal in forging, each offering distinct advantages. But which is superior?

Quality: Screw presses excel in precision and quality. Guided dies on screw presses ensure tighter tolerances, better finishes, and minimal heat transfer, exceeding the hammers performance.

Efficiency and Savings: Screw presses complete tasks in fewer blows, saving time, energy, and reducing wear for lower maintenance costs.

Automation and Innovation: FICEP's KERS system cuts energy use by over 50% and shortens cycle times, while advanced automation ensures precision and predictive maintenance.

The Verdict is that while hammers hold their place in traditional forging, direct drive screw presses clearly lead in quality, efficiency, and innovation, making them the superior choice for modern forging applications.
