Q43W-4000 400ton Hydraulic Horizontal Metal Shear with 1400mm Blade For End-of-Life Vehicle Dismantling Plants
Product Overview
The Q43W-4000 Horizontal Container Shear is a revolutionary heavy-duty scrap processing equipment that features an innovative containerized modular design. By integrating a complete production line within a standard container, it achieves true "plug-and-play" convenience. This model is specifically engineered for efficiently processing large and bulky metal scrap. With its powerful shearing force and high operational cycle, it can easily process entire end-of-life vehicles, industrial steel billets, and steel structures into uniform, furnace-ready scrap, making it a core asset for modern scrap yards and large-scale recycling enterprises.

Key Features
- Containerized Modular Design: The main unit is integrated into a standard container, greatly simplifying transportation, installation, and foundation work, saving significant time and costs for rapid deployment.
- Oversized Feed Opening & High Volume Reduction: The massive 3200×2400 mm feed opening easily accepts large car bodies and bulky industrial scrap. It compresses them into uniform 1400×450 mm blocks, achieving an extremely high volume reduction ratio and significantly improving stacking density and transportation efficiency.
- Powerful Shearing & High Efficiency: Equipped with a high-strength 1400 mm long blade and an optimized hydraulic system, it delivers tremendous shearing force. A steady cutting speed of 3-4 times/minute ensures high output even under heavy-duty conditions.
- Robust Power & Economical Operation: The 84 kW total power configuration provides ample power for continuous heavy-duty shearing, while the advanced hydraulic and electrical control systems ensure high energy efficiency, balancing performance with low operational costs.
- High Automation & Operational Safety: The PLC control system enables fully automatic or semi-automatic cycles (feeding, clamping, shearing, discharging), effectively reducing labor intensity and operational risks, ensuring safe production.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What are the specific benefits of the "containerized design"?
A1: It offers three main advantages: 1) Easy Transportation - Can be shipped as a standard container, with low freight costs. 2) Quick Installation - On-site, it only requires simple connection and leveling before operation, eliminating complex assembly. 3) High Flexibility - Can be quickly relocated between different sites based on production needs.
Q2: What types of scrap is it mainly capable of processing?
A2: This machine is ideal for heavy scrap, including but not limited to: end-of-life vehicles (after tire and engine removal), scrapped home appliance shells, metal bales, structural steel beams, machine tool bases, and other bulky metal scrap within the feed opening size limits.
Q3: What is the significance of the 1400×450mm discharge size?
A3: This size is one of the ideal specifications for steelmaking furnace charge. Its uniformity ensures good filling density and melting efficiency in the furnace, and it meets the "clean furnace charge" standards in most regions, often commanding a better price.
Q4: With 84kW of power, is the energy consumption very high?
A4: 84kW is the maximum installed power. In practice, thanks to the advanced variable pump system and intelligent control, the machine consumes very little power at no-load and standby. Peak power is only reached during the shearing moment, resulting in overall energy consumption that is much lower than traditional older equipment, offering excellent operational economy.
Application Fields
- Large Scrap Processing & Distribution Centers: Serves as the core equipment for processing bulk heavy scrap, producing high-quality furnace-ready material.
- End-of-Life Vehicle Dismantling Plants: Used for the final shearing stage of flattened car bodies to produce qualified steelmaking raw material.
- Shipbreaking & Offshore Platform Decommissioning: Processes ship plates and large offshore platform structural components.
- Metal Casting & Smelting Plants: Acts as a pre-treatment system to provide size-qualified scrap for furnaces.
- Large-Scale Recycling Parks: Used for centralized processing of various difficult-to-handle heavy industrial scrap.
