Schnellpressenfabrik AG. Heidelberg Cylinder Press, Model OHC - Germany
Age: 1949, Serial No. 1909, Bed size: 460 x 530 mm
Schnellpressenfabrik AG. (Heidelberg) started to build automated cylinder machines in 1935. For many years previous, Heidelberg had manufactured hand-fed cylinders of similar design to most of the German manufacturers such as Albert, MAN and Klein Forst & Bohn. This model, the “OHC" (Original Heidelberger Cylinder), became an instant smash and went on to be sold in various sizes until the 1980’s. Even today, many shops use the OHC range for die-cutting.
