How much does the LVD PPEB 640/81 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD PPEB 640/81 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 largest machine in LVD's PPEB table is the LVD PPEB 640/81: 6,400 kN on a working length of 8,100 mm (318.9 in), with a weight of 71,550 kg (157,738 lb).
Its frame opening is 7,050 mm (277.6 in). A seven-metre part therefore travels between the uprights, and only the last half-metre or so at each end of a full-length part sits in the 400 mm (15.7 in) gap.
LVD lists the Easy-Form machine on this frame, the Easy-Form 640/80, with a working length of 8,000 mm. The PPEB column says 8,100 mm. Weight and frame opening are the same in both, so the true bed length is a detail to settle with the maker if the last hundred millimetres matter.
Everything hydraulic is shared with the shorter 6,400 kN PPEB machines. The motor is 55 kW and the oil volume 850 L at 290 bar. The ram approaches at 90 mm/s, bends at 9 mm/s and returns at 100 mm/s. 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, with the bed at 970 mm (38.2 in).
Eight-metre bending is done for lighting and transmission masts, long trailer and rail-vehicle beams and building sections. Beyond one bed, LVD offers the PPEB in tandem configurations.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 8,100 mm (318.9 in) working length, the longest PPEB
- 7,050 mm (277.6 in) between the uprights
- 6,400 kN from a 55 kW motor
- Bed at 970 mm (38.2 in) even at this size
- Tandem configurations for still longer parts
Limitations
- 71,550 kg (157,738 lb) to transport, lift and found
- Ram bends at 9 mm/s on a long stroke
- 6,400 kN is spread thin on a full eight-metre bend
- Bed length differs between LVD's PPEB and Easy-Form tables

Frequently Asked Questions
01
LVD's PPEB table lists 8,100 mm (318.9 in). The Easy-Form 640/80, on a frame of the same weight and opening, is listed at 8,000 mm, so confirm the exact length if it is critical.
02
Parts up to 7,050 mm (277.6 in) long. Longer ones reach into the side frames, where the gap is 400 mm (15.7 in).
03
The PPEB 640/61 has a 6,100 mm bed, 5,050 mm between uprights and weighs 57,000 kg. This model has 8,100 mm, 7,050 mm and 71,550 kg. Force, motor, oil and speeds are identical.
04
90 mm/s approach, 9 mm/s working speed and 100 mm/s return, from a 55 kW motor with 850 L of oil at 290 bar, as on the PPEB 640/61.
