How much does the LVD PPEB 170/30 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD PPEB 170/30 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The LVD PPEB 170/30 delivers 1,700 kN over a 3,050 mm (120.1 in) working length from a 22 kW motor. It weighs 11,500 kg (25,353 lb).
This is the size at which the PPEB and the Easy-Form drift furthest apart. The Easy-Form 170/30 has the same frame and weight but a 37 kW motor and a 425 L tank, and it approaches at 180 mm/s and works at 22 mm/s. The PPEB runs on 22 kW and 350 L, approaching at 130 mm/s, working at 15 mm/s and returning at 160 mm/s. Whoever does not need the pace gets by with the smaller motor and tank.
And if the pace is wanted later? LVD lists a turbo press drive among the PPEB options, for high-speed bending with better energy efficiency than conventional hydraulics.
Against LVD's economy line the PPEB is clearly ahead. The PPED 165/30 works at 10 mm/s and returns at 100 mm/s, with a 250 mm gap. Here the gap is 400 mm (15.7 in) and the table, 120 mm (4.7 in) wide, is rated at 2,000 kN/m.
Stroke is 200 mm (7.9 in) and open height 400 mm, with 2,600 mm (102.4 in) between the uprights and a working height of 970 mm (38.2 in). Pressure is 285 bar. The backgauge has two, five or six axes as ordered.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The Easy-Form 170/30 has a 37 kW motor, a 425 L tank, a 180 mm/s approach and a 22 mm/s working speed. The PPEB lists 22 kW, 350 L, 130 mm/s and 15 mm/s. Frame, force and the weight of 11,500 kg are the same.
02
On the published figures, yes. The PPED 165/30 has 1,650 kN, a 10 mm/s working speed, a 250 mm gap and a 1,000 kN/m table. The PPEB has 1,700 kN, 15 mm/s, a 400 mm gap and a 2,000 kN/m table.
03
350 L of oil at 285 bar. LVD machines the cylinders from solid steel billet and fits forged pistons that are hardened, precision-ground and mirror polished.
04
The PPEB 170/40 at 4,000 mm, the PPEB 170/42 at 4,270 mm and the PPEB 170/51 at 5,100 mm, all with the same 22 kW drive.
