This Heidelberg SBD is a die cutter — a press used to cut, crease, and perforate sheet materials such as cardboard, paper, and corrugated board into precise shapes, commonly for packaging and print finishing. Also known as a platen cutter or cutting and creasing press, this type of machine is a cornerstone of commercial print finishing lines. Heidelberg is one of the most respected names in the printing and finishing industry, with a long history of engineering presses and ancillary equipment for commercial printers, packaging converters, and bookbinders worldwide.
This machine was manufactured in 1968 and is offered in used condition from a seller based in Germany. It accepts sheet sizes ranging from a minimum of 290 × 400 mm up to a maximum of 640 × 890 mm, giving it the capacity to handle a broad range of substrates from smaller format work through to large packaging blanks. The machine operates at speeds of up to 4,000 sheets per hour, and delivers a punching pressure of 60 tonnes — a substantial cutting force well suited to heavier board and multi-layer materials.
The machine weighs approximately 6,200 kg, reflecting the robust cast construction typical of cylinder-based die cutters of this era. It is offered complete with tools, accessories, and a locking chase frame, meaning a buyer should have the ancillary equipment needed to set up and run jobs without sourcing additional components separately.
