This Polar 55 EM is a guillotine — sometimes called a paper cutter or cutting machine — designed to make clean, precise cuts through stacks of paper and other sheet materials. Polar is a well-established German manufacturer with a long reputation in the printing and finishing industry, producing guillotines and ancillary equipment used by print shops, binderies, and copy centres worldwide.
This particular machine dates from 1987 and is offered in used condition from a seller based in Germany. It carries serial number 5751401 and is equipped with EM programme control, allowing cutting sequences to be programmed and repeated with consistency rather than relying on purely manual operation. A pressing pressure adjustment feature is also fitted, enabling the operator to set the clamping force applied to the material stack before each cut, which helps prevent movement and ensures accurate results across different stock thicknesses.
The cutting width is 55 cm, matching the insertion depth of 55 cm, which defines the usable working area of the machine. The maximum insertion height — that is, the greatest stack thickness the machine can accept — is 10 cm. The listing notes that two knives are included with the machine, which provides a ready spare for changeover without additional sourcing.
Taken together, these specifications describe a compact but capable single-clamp guillotine suited to short- and medium-run cutting work in a professional finishing environment.
