🏭 TIMELESS RELIABILITY IN ACTION: 18 years and still precision-aligned!
🤔 Can a hydraulic press perform with the exact same power and precision after nearly two decades of heavy-duty operation?
Last week, we accompanied a prospective customer to visit one of our long-standing clients. The goal? To demonstrate the real-world performance of our Sicmi PRT 400—a 400-tonne straightening press manufactured 18 years ago.
Seeing this machine in action was the ultimate proof of Sicmi’s engineering excellence and long-term durability.
Key Features of the PRT 400:
🔹 400-Tonne Capacity: Pure hydraulic power tailored for heavy industrial straightening.
🔹 11-Metre Total Length: Designed to handle large-scale steel tubes and cylindrical components seamlessly.
🔹 Advanced 4-Trolley System:
• 2 Outer Trolleys dedicated to lifting, positioning, and rotating the tube to pinpoint straightness.
• 2 Central Support Trolleys engineered to stabilize and secure the piece during the high-pressure pressing phase.
Our guests were thoroughly impressed by the machine's smooth operation, robust structure, and intuitive trolley handling—proving that investing in quality Made in Italy engineering delivers value that lasts over time.
A big thank you to our host client for opening their facility doors and showing what true manufacturing longevity looks like! 👏
