Overview
The Champ 185 series sits above the Champ 150 when you need more cutting width without jumping to a full Titan 200/230. Confirm the current control package and options on the quote.
The CHAMP 185 Hydraulic Paper Cutter is a USA-built hydraulic cutter with an 18.5" width. Heavy-duty clamping gives crisp, repeatable cuts on hard stocks.
Hydraulic power drives both clamping and cutting, with up to approximately 2,350 lb of clamp force. The narrow footprint moves through a standard 36" doorway. Adjustable clamp pressure suits hard and delicate stocks.
Challenge Machinery builds this equipment in Norton Shores, Michigan. Mid-State Litho is the authorized Michigan dealer (about 30 years).
