Ludhiana, Punjab — Manufacturing & Dispatch Across India
Heavy-Duty Forging (VFP Series)

Forging Press Manufacturer in India

A Forging Press stores energy mechanically through the stroke and releases it in one high-force impact suited to hot and cold forging, with a slipping-wheel mechanism protecting the machine from overload. Basant manufactures Forging Presses (VFP series) from 50 to 1000 tons.

Forging presses are engineered for repeated, high-force impact work — hot forging, cold forging and general industrial metal shaping — where die life, thermal stability and overload protection matter as much as raw tonnage.

Basant's VFP-series forging presses store mechanical energy through the stroke and release it with high useful working energy, protected by a slipping-wheel overload mechanism and thermally stable ram guideways that hold alignment even as the machine warms up during continuous operation.

Key Features

  • High useful working energy via mechanical energy storage
  • Overload protection through a slipping wheel mechanism
  • Thermally stable ram guideways — no re-adjustment needed as the machine warms up
  • Wear-proof guide gibs and no jamming possible under load
  • Long die life from short pressure-contact times
  • Capable of totally closed die forging and sequenced multi-stroke work
