Metal Gathering Machines

"Forging strength through precision and heat." Metal Fusion

Keje Electric Company's Metal Gathering Machines have evolved through years of expertise, driven by our engineers' commitment to achieving state-of-the-art equipment.

Metal Gathering is a means of preforming a bar to create an enlarged diameter on a bar as shown along side. The cold bar is placed in the upsetter and clamped by a vice. A low voltage high current is passed through the bar thereby heating the head to forging temperature. An axial force is applied, compressing the bar at its hot end forming an onion shaped head.

Applications

The heads produced by open upsetting are generally intermediate forging forms in which the bulk of the material is distributed towards the end of the bar. These intermediate forms are finish formed on a forging press and the job need not be re-heated.

Engine Valves
Hand tools
Fasteners
Pushrods

Bolts
Timer Pins
Torsion Spring rods
Spline Shafts

Advantages

Increased Productivity

Combines heating and forming in one step with thermo-mechanical and joule heating.

Energy Efficient

Heats only the job, eliminating furnace warm-up time and reducing BTU consumption.

Material Savings

Converts smaller stock into larger profiles, minimizing machining losses.

No Forging Furnace

Workpieces exit at forging heat, ready for immediate die pressing.

Scale-Free Heating

Resistance heating ensures core-to-surface heat flow, reducing die wear.

Superior Microstructure

Produces optimal grain structure with smooth, defect-free surfaces.

The Challange

Industries often face challenges such as excessive material wastage, inefficiency in producing complex components, and high machining costs. These challenges can hinder productivity and inflate production costs. KEJE Electric’s metal gathering machines solve these issues by concentrating material precisely where it is needed, reducing waste and improving efficiency. The systems are highly versatile, allowing industries to produce intricate components with minimal machining. Additionally, their durable design ensures long-term reliability and cost-effectiveness in demanding production environments.
