Challenge HBE 19.3" Hydraulic Paper Cutter | S/N 25392 | Extra Blades | 208V

Challenge HBE 19.3" Hydraulic Paper Cutter | S/N 25392 | Extra Blades Full Hydraulic Power | Precision Digital Readout | Made in the USA

The Challenge HBE is a heavy-duty, professional-grade cutter designed for print shops that require industrial power in a compact footprint. Unlike electric-drive cutters, the HBE utilizes full hydraulic operation for both clamping and cutting, ensuring that paper stacks do not "draw" or shift during the cycle. This results in perfectly square, surgical-quality cuts through stacks up to 2.5 inches thick.

This specific unit (S/N 25392) comes with extra blades, a significant value for high-volume shops to minimize downtime during sharpening. With its cast-iron table and American-built durability, the HBE is widely considered the most reliable small-format hydraulic cutter ever produced.

• Dual-Hydraulic Performance: Separate hydraulic cylinders for the clamp and knife provide maximum holding force and cutting torque.
• Digital Accuracy: Equipped with a digital display for the backgauge, allowing for micro-adjustments and high repeatability.
• Low Maintenance: Built with oversized components and a simplified hydraulic circuit for easy on-site servicing.
• Safety Integrated: Two-hand timed cut buttons ensure operator hands are clear of the knife at all times.
• High-Speed Productivity: Rapid cycle times and a heavy-duty table allow for effortless maneuvering of large paper lifts.
