This Heidelberg OHT is a letterpress machine — sometimes referred to as a platen press or clamshell press — a type of printing and die-cutting equipment used in commercial print shops for producing high-quality impression work, foil stamping, embossing, and precision die-cutting. Heidelberg is one of the most respected names in the printing industry, with a long history of manufacturing robust, precision-engineered press equipment trusted by trade printers and finishing specialists worldwide.
Built in 1962 and carrying serial number 137806 N, this machine is offered in used condition and is located in Germany, available for immediate inspection and testing at the seller's premises near Emskirchen/Nürnberg. It is described as complete with tools, accessories, and a locking frame.
The press accommodates sheet sizes from a minimum of 40 × 70 mm up to a maximum of 260 × 380 mm, making it suitable for a broad range of format requirements from small labels through to medium-format commercial work. Two chase sizes are included: a standard chase measuring 260 × 340 mm and a skeleton chase measuring 260 × 350 mm, giving operators flexibility depending on the nature of the job being run.
Operating speeds range from 2,200 sheets per hour at the lower end to 5,500 sheets per hour at maximum output, reflecting the productive capacity typical of a well-specified platen press of this type. An online video inspection via Skype is available for prospective buyers who cannot visit in person.
