The Busch SWH 180 LE is a pile turner — sometimes called a sheet turner or pile inverter — a specialist piece of print finishing equipment used to aerate, align, and invert stacks of paper or board before and after printing. Busch is a well-established manufacturer of pile handling machinery serving the commercial and industrial printing industry, supplying equipment designed to condition paper stocks and improve runnability on press.
This particular machine is specified for VLF (very large format) work, sized for 7-format presses and confirmed as compatible with formats used by machines such as the KBA Rapida 162 and Roland 900 XL. The tub measures 1,220 × 1,620 mm with an opening width of 1,600 mm, making it suitable for handling very large sheet sizes. The unit is fitted with four adjustable air nozzles providing strong, targeted airflow to the pile, along with pressure relief flaps to prevent damage to sensitive or lightweight stocks during the turning cycle.
The machine was manufactured in 2004 and is offered in used condition, currently located in Germany. The seller notes that it has been held in unheated storage for a period of time and displays some surface rust as a result, which prospective buyers should factor into their assessment of the unit's current condition.
