[0002] In modern industrial production, flanges are an important connection component and are widely used in the connection and fixation of pipes, valves, pumps and other equipment. Flange forging is the process of manufacturing flanges through forging technology, which involves heating the metal blank to a certain temperature and applying pressure in the forging die to form it.

[0003] The traditional flange production method mainly relies on manual operation and simple mechanical equipment, and has problems such as low production efficiency, high labor intensity, and unstable product quality. Since there is no lifting structure at the bottom of the formed flange, it takes a long time to lift the flange, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there are safety hazards. The temperature of the flange surface after forging is very high, and debris will remain on the surface. Since there is no cooling and debris cleaning mechanism, the time of the later operation is increased, thereby reducing the efficiency of the operation.
