How much does the LVD PPEB 320/51 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD PPEB 320/51 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
Five metres of plate capacity: the LVD PPEB 320/51 has 3,200 kN on a 5,100 mm (200.8 in) working length and weighs 29,000 kg (63,933 lb).
Check the frame opening against the parts before anything else. It is 4,270 mm (168.1 in). The lighter PPEB 220/51 has 4,550 mm on the same bed, so a part that fits that machine does not automatically fit this one. LVD's heavier side frames take the difference.
The working height is 1,035 mm (40.7 in). Stroke and opening are 300 mm (11.8 in) and 570 mm (22.4 in), and the table is 200 mm (7.9 in) wide at 2,500 kN/m.
In the bend the ram moves at 14 mm/s. Approach is 120 mm/s and return 130 mm/s, on a 37 kW motor with 400 L of oil at 285 bar. Those are the figures of every 3,200 kN PPEB, whatever its length.
What a PPEB buyer adds to this base depends on the product. For long plate parts with few bends, sheet followers and a simple backgauge may do. For boom sections with many shallow bends, a multi-axis backgauge is worth more. LVD's automatic crowning, standard on PPEB-5 and PPEB-8, is not optional in any practical sense at this length and force; the wedge system is machined for the bed it serves. Tandem configurations are listed for work beyond one machine's length.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
4,270 mm (168.1 in) between the uprights. The PPEB 220/51 has 4,550 mm with the same working length, so the heavier machine has the narrower opening.
02
No. This model and the shorter PPEB 320/30 both list 120 mm/s approach, 14 mm/s working speed and 130 mm/s return, with a 37 kW motor and 400 L of oil.
03
On PPEB-5 and PPEB-8 versions. LVD's wedge system is custom-made for each machine and accounts for crowning across the full length of the bed.
04
29,000 kg (63,933 lb), with 400 L of oil. The PPEB 320/45 weighs 25,500 kg and the six-metre PPEB 320/61 weighs 36,000 kg.
