  • Tucked away in a Cudahy warehouse something big has been pounding away since 1959. In fact, it's one of the biggest of its kind in the world.
    “It’s loud. It’s smokey. It’s dirty. And it’s intimidating if you’ve never seen it before," Steven Panasuk said.
    It's called the 85 Hammer. It weighs over one million pounds, and it’s five stories above ground and five stories below ground. The counterblow hammer was installed in 1959 and the media, let alone the public, rarely sees this in action. The 85 Hammer is located inside ATI Forged Products in Cudahy along South Packard Avenue.

      I'm a union millwright and I couldn't agree more. Seeing industrial machinery running and working on it is my passion. My favorite industry is the metal industries. If you ever get the chance to tour a forge, foundry, or steel mill take the opportunity. Witnessing the heat, light, and sound of molten metal is breathtaking and can't be described with words. It's like a beast we've barely been able to tame. Paper mills are also really cool if you ever get a chance to see a paper machine running. If you like this sort of thing consider joining an industrial trade union like the Millwrights or even pipefitters.

      I know with a very high degree of certainty that China has one in production, and a second that has to be very close to completion. Forging is something state actors with deep pockets can produce. A market cornered is a market lost.

    its tucked away but there is video footage of it making parts for nasa and so on, it is the largest counterblow in the world, so the biggest of its type and it hits even harder its said since it was rebuilt, but its been seen a few times on video, has the power of some of the largest forging presses in the world that includes the ones in china or in that category, and has been going since the stated 1959

      Metal has a grain. When you cast metal, you lose the grain. When you forge metal, you reshape the grain, hence it’s stronger.
