How much does the LVD PPEB 500/45 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD PPEB 500/45 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
With 5,000 kN, a 4,500 mm (177.2 in) working length and 3,760 mm (148.0 in) between the uprights, the LVD PPEB 500/45 is the mid-sized machine of LVD's 5,000 kN PPEB group. It weighs 42,200 kg (93,034 lb).
The clear width is the figure to study. It is far more than the 3,150 mm of the PPEB 500/40, and a little less than the 3,820 mm of the PPEB 400/45, because the side frames grow with the force. For thick plate parts, which must pass between the frames, each of those steps decides what can be made.
Mass tells the same story about force. The PPEB 400/45 does this length at 32,000 kg.
Ram and hydraulics are common to the 5,000 kN machines. Approach is 100 mm/s, working speed 9 mm/s and return 80 mm/s. The motor is 37 kW, the oil volume 650 L and the pressure 290 bar. Stroke is 300 mm (11.8 in) under 570 mm (22.4 in) of open height, the table is 200 mm (7.9 in) wide at 2,500 kN/m, and the bed stands at 970 mm (38.2 in).
Because a machine like this is bought for a known product, the PPEB's configurable build is an advantage. A hopper maker and a builder of armoured vehicles would each strip the option list down to a few lines, and they would be different lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
3,760 mm (148.0 in) between the uprights, with a 400 mm (15.7 in) gap. The PPEB 500/40 has 3,150 mm and the PPEB 400/45 has 3,820 mm.
02
This machine weighs 42,200 kg (93,034 lb). The PPEB 400/45, with 4,000 kN on the same working length, weighs 32,000 kg.
03
100 mm/s approach, 9 mm/s working and 80 mm/s return. In CE countries the working speed is limited to safety norms, as noted under LVD's tables.
04
Yes: 200 mm (7.9 in) wide and rated at 2,500 kN/m, the same as from the PPEB 320/30 upward. At 5,000 kN the rating limits how short a full-force bend can be.
