Drawing Cups, The Start of The Forming Process
The Bliss 304 and 305 Draw Presses both take raw metal cups and progressively form precisely, a necessity for reliable ammunition. Our high-quality draw presses ensure consistent dimensions, tight tolerances, and smooth material flow, while maintaining competitive speed - directly contributing to better safety, accuracy, and downstream efficiency.

Highlights
- Designed for reliable deep draw operations while maintaining tight dimensional tolerances.
- Two parts per stroke, allowing it to double throughput relative to presses that make one per stroke.
- Runs at 60-100 strokes per minute (SPM), enabling very high production rates.
Highlights
- Engineered to handle medium calibers (notably 12.7mm, 14.5mm, and 20mm).
- Strong production volume, operating at approximately 50-90 strokes per minute.
- Built for repeatability, the 305 ensures tight dimensional control and uniformity.

Continual success.
Crucial to move forward.
Consistency
Delivers uniform draws contributing to consistent case sizing, crucial for accurate production.
Tight Tolerances
Forming seamless, single parts with extreme attention to detail – eliminating the need for external processes.
Smooth Flow
Speed control and high-quality tooling prevent tearing and wrinkling – resulting in a much lower reject rate.
