How much does the LVD PPEB 320/61 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD PPEB 320/61 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 320/61 bends 6,100 mm (240.2 in) with 3,200 kN. Two numbers in its column call for planning well before delivery: a weight of 36,000 kg (79,365 lb) and a working height of 1,165 mm (45.9 in).
Neither is typical of the series. The PPEB 320/51 weighs 29,000 kg and stands at 1,035 mm. LVD says the frames of PPEB machines up to 400 ton/4m can be installed at floor level, and this machine is two metres beyond that length, so the listed bed height should be read together with LVD's installation drawing. A pit, a raised platform or crane-only loading are all possible answers, and each changes the building work.
With that settled, the machine is a straightforward long plate brake. It clears 5,050 mm (198.8 in) between the uprights and has a 400 mm (15.7 in) gap. Stroke is 300 mm (11.8 in), open height 570 mm (22.4 in), and the 200 mm (7.9 in) table is rated at 2,500 kN/m.
The drive is the 37 kW unit of the group, with 400 L of oil at 285 bar: 120 mm/s on approach, 14 mm/s in the bend, 130 mm/s on return.
A configurable machine makes sense at this size because six-metre plate work is specialised. Pole makers, trailer builders and steel-structure shops each need different gauging, supports and tooling, and none wants to buy the other's.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
LVD's page gives a working height of 1,165 mm (45.9 in) and limits its floor-level statement to machines up to 400 ton/4m. The foundation, and whether a pit or platform is intended, must come from LVD's installation drawing.
02
It is listed at 36,000 kg (79,365 lb). The PPEB 320/51 is listed at 29,000 kg with a working height of 1,035 mm.
03
Up to 5,050 mm (198.8 in). Longer parts, to the 6,100 mm (240.2 in) working length, overhang into the 400 mm (15.7 in) gap of the side frames.
04
For thin material, yes. The PPEB 220/61 Plus has the same opening and stroke with 2,200 kN, works at 21 mm/s and returns at 200 mm/s.
