How much does the LVD PPEB 170/42 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD PPEB 170/42 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 170/42 combines 1,700 kN with LVD's wide frame: 3,820 mm (150.4 in) between the uprights on a 4,270 mm (168.1 in) working length. It weighs 15,000 kg (33,069 lb).
Wide-frame models cost steel. The PPEB 170/40 weighs 13,500 kg with 3,150 mm between its uprights. What the extra mass buys is the ability to bring a deep or closed part of nearly four metres through the frame instead of into the gap.
At this force that begins to matter for real products. Cabinet bodies, lift car panels with returns on all four sides, long hoppers: these are made in sheet thick enough to need 1,700 kN on a short die, and wide enough to foul a narrower frame.
The drive is the PPEB's 22 kW unit with 350 L of oil at 285 bar. The ram approaches at 130 mm/s, bends at 15 mm/s and returns at 160 mm/s. That is slower than the Easy-Form 170/42, which works at 22 mm/s on 37 kW, and the PPEB offers a turbo press drive as an option for buyers who want to close the gap.
Stroke 200 mm (7.9 in), open height 400 mm (15.7 in), gap 400 mm. Table 120 mm (4.7 in) wide, 2,000 kN/m, at 970 mm (38.2 in). For deep four-sided parts, consider the increased stroke and table-ram distance LVD offers in 100 mm steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The machine weighs 15,000 kg (33,069 lb). The PPEB 170/40, with 3,150 mm between uprights and a 4,000 mm bed, weighs 13,500 kg. Drive and speeds are the same.
02
130 mm/s approach, 15 mm/s working speed and 160 mm/s return. The Easy-Form 170/42 is quicker, at 180 mm/s and 22 mm/s, with a 37 kW motor.
03
3,820 mm (150.4 in). Beyond that, up to the 4,270 mm (168.1 in) working length, the ends of the part sit in the 400 mm (15.7 in) gap.
04
As an option. LVD describes quick-acting hydraulic clamping on the ram and on the table for faster set-ups and greater production efficiency.
