How to Choose a 630 Ton Scrap Metal Box Shear for Heavy Ferrous Scrap Processing

Product Overview

When selecting a 630 ton class scrap metal box shear, buyers should focus less on broad terms such as “powerful” and more on application fit. The QSW-630 provides a useful reference point because its parameter sheet clearly states thrust, feed opening, output, control mode, and material range. Those factors are what matter most for heavy ferrous scrap pre-processing.

Applications

This model is relevant where the working material includes:

• oversized scrap metal
• structural steel offcuts
• round and square steel scrap
• angle steel and I-beam scrap
• bulky mixed ferrous scrap in recycling yards

Core Advantages

For selection purposes, the strongest points are not slogans but parameter-based fit:

• 3150KN × 2 shearing force for heavy-duty cutting
• 2600 × 1400 mm feed opening for larger scrap loading
• 12–15 t/h output for continuous pre-processing
• PLC automatic control with remote control for repeatable operation
• Defined material capacity for solid and profile steel sections

How It Works

The machine uses a box-fed hydraulic cutting process. Scrap is loaded, clamped, and then sheared under hydraulic force. For buyers, the importance of this structure is that it matches irregular scrap better than equipment intended for cleaner, lighter, or more uniform material.

Specifications

Selection-related parameters include:

• Round steel: Φ150 mm
• Square steel: 120 × 120 mm
• Angle steel: 200 × 200 × 15 mm
• I-beam: 320 × 132 × 15 mm
• Shear speed: 2–3 times/min
• Tank capacity: 3800 L
• Machine dimensions: 6000 × 2500 × 2600 mm

How To Choose

Ask these questions:

1. Do you handle profile steel scrap or mostly light loose scrap?
2. Does your yard need a larger feed opening for mixed bulky material?
3. Is 12–15 t/h output aligned with your front-end processing plan?
4. Can your installation support 110 kW and the listed footprint?
5. Do you need PLC-controlled repeatable cycles for yard operation?

If the answer is yes to most of these, the QSW-630 is a relevant fit.

What Problem It Solves

It solves the mismatch between bulky heavy scrap and equipment that is too light, too small, or too manual for effective pre-processing. That makes it useful in operations where front-end size reduction determines transport and downstream flow.

FAQ

Q: Is 630 ton class always enough for all scrap?
No. Suitability depends on material form, feed opening needs, and cutting range. The listed QSW-630 range should be checked against actual scrap conditions.
