Operation Phoenix

This was one of Icotech Automation’s most ambitious projects.
In 2007, a factory in northern Europe suffered a fire that destroyed a 4,000-tonne press. After ten years of exposure to the elements, in 2018, we were asked to revive the press from the wreckage.

It was only possible to recover the steel from the original press, requiring us to redesign many components from scratch. The result was a high-performance, energy-efficient press with an optimised electrical and hydraulic system, comparable to an electric press in terms of speed and consumption.
