KE
Balconi, established in 1939 in Milan, specializes in the production of precision presses. The company relocated to Varedo in 1962, expanding its manufacturing to include eccentric and high-speed presses. In 1975, Balconi began producing horizontal knuckle-joint presses for non-ferrous material extrusion, serving industries such as electric, packaging, and automotive.
The KE impact extrusion presses are available in various capacities, with forces up to 20,000 kN and speeds reaching 330 strokes per minute. The table provides detailed specifications for different models, including force, press speed, ram stroke, ram adjustment, and maximum tube/can dimensions.
The presses utilize a modified knuckle-joint system, reducing punch impact speed by 30% compared to traditional systems, enhancing extrusion quality and reducing wear. Key features include:
- AC variable speed motor with inverter control
- Flywheel on rolling bearings
- Combined pneumatic or hydraulic clutch and brake unit
- Hydraulic tight fit driving gears
- Adjustable oversized ram guides
- Continuous oil recirculating lubrication system
- Separate lubrication for ram guides and kinematics
- Ram adjustment during operation
- Servomotor-driven slug feeding and unloading systems
- Siemens PLC control panel
Balconi's KE impact extrusion presses are designed for flexibility and customization, meeting specific customer requirements with advanced technology and precision engineering.

Balconi was founded in 1939 in Milan where it started the production of precision fly presses. In 1962 it moved to its current headquarters in Varedo with the manufacture of eccentric and high-speed presses as well. Manufacture of horizontal knuckle-joint presses for the extrusion of non-ferrous materials started in 1975. These presses are mainly used in the electric industry for battery cases and condensers, in the packaging industry for tubes and cans and in the automotive industry to produce technical parts. Balconi KE impact extrusion presses are manufactured in different capacities up to...

KNUCKLE-JOINT EXTRUSION PRESSES The press kinematics is designed with a modified knuckle-joint system in order to obtain a 30% reduction of the impact speed of the punch compared to the traditional system. This assures a better extrusion of the can and less wearing of punch and die therefore a reduction of production costs.

Balconi extrusion press is a horizontal press with modified knuckle-joint-drive. Working surfaces of the knuckle-joint are ground and work on special bronze alloy bushings of high hardness. Welded steel frame is particularly rigid. Its upper part, which supports the extrusion load, is made in one steel piece. Driving area, separate from the working one, is closed and protected against dust and external parts. Key features • AC variable speed motor controlled by inverter • Flywheel mounted on rolling bearings • Combined pneumatic or hydraulic clutch and brake unit • Driving gears are assembled...
