Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Salvagnini B3 400/4250 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 Salvagnini B3 400/4250 tops the B3 range on force. It is the only model rated at 400 tons, applied over a 4,250 mm (167.3 in) table.
Salvagnini built it on the same frame size as the B3 320/4250. Length, width and height are identical at 5,350 mm, 2,085 mm and 3,755 mm, and so is the 3,600 mm distance between the side frames. The difference shows in the mass, 27,000 kg (59,524 lb) against 25,000 kg for the B3 320/4250. Notably, average consumption is listed at 3.5 kWh for both.
A buyer comes to this model for thickness. More force on the same bed means thicker plate at full length, or the same plate over a narrower die for a tighter radius. The window is 520 mm of throat, 450 mm of stroke and 700 mm between table and ram. Approach and return run at 220 mm/s and bending at 15 mm/s.
There is one size only. If the parts are longer than 4,250 mm, the B3 320/5100 is the nearest alternative, with less force and a 5,100 mm table. And because heavy plate is rarely bent in large mixed kits, the MVM variable opening die deserves a look here: it adapts the V opening from the program when material thickness changes between jobs.
