    "BÊCHÉ counterblow hammers are mainly used for the production of large and oversized forgings. The high impact energy and forming force of the opposing hammer rams enables the precise forming of large forgings.

    Counterblow hammers with a hydraulic drive are particularly suitable for the medium power range. A complex compressed air installation can be dispensed with here."

    The LF 4 air hammer will be visible from afar on the new roundabout. This hammer was built around 1950 and has a massive weight of 175 kg at 180 blows per minute. The total weight is around 5 tons. The "bear" is the movable cylinder, the actual hammer head, which whizzes up and down during forging. The Bêché air hammers were manufactured in Hückeswagen for over a hundred years. Bêché air hammers were and are valued because of their powerful but sensitively controllable impact force .
