Specifications
The NKMZ Kramatorsk GKM 2000 Horizontal Forging Machine—2000 tons—is forging and pressing equipment designed for metal upsetting—an operation in which the workpiece is compressed axially with an increase in cross-section. The machine ensures precise workpiece positioning, high deformation force, and stability over repeated working cycles. It is used in the production of rod-type parts with heads, flanges, and stepped transitions. The GKM 2000 Upsetter (also known as the horizontal die forging machine or ricalcatrice) is a heavy-duty industrial forging machine with a 2000-ton pressure, manufactured by NKMZ Kramatorsk, among others. It is used for hot metal upsetting, i.e., axially compressing the material to increase its cross-section.
