Box Shear Solution for Oversized Scrap Metal and Bulky Ferrous Handling
Product Overview
Oversized scrap metal and bulky ferrous handling are recurring problems in recycling operations. Long pieces are harder to load, mixed profile scrap takes more yard space, and irregular steel sections often slow transport preparation. The QSW-630 hydraulic scrap metal box shear is designed as a front-end size reduction solution for exactly these working conditions.
Applications
This machine fits operations facing:
- bulky scrap handling pressure
- difficult scrap transport preparation
- structural steel scrap cutting needs
- scrap backlog in recycling yards
- heavy profile scrap processing before downstream handling
Core Advantages
Its advantages come from structural fit:
- a 2600 × 1400 mm chamber for larger scrap input
- 3150KN × 2 shearing force for heavier material
- 1350KN clamping cylinder support
- defined cutting range for common steel forms
- PLC automatic control for repeated industrial cycles
How It Works
The machine first secures irregular scrap in the chamber, then applies hydraulic shearing force to reduce it into shorter sections. This matters because bulky scrap handling problems are rarely solved by cutting force alone; positioning, chamber size, and cycle consistency are also part of the solution.
Specifications
- Hydraulic working pressure: ≤25.0MPa
- Output: 12–15 t/h
- Shear speed: 2–3 times/min
- Power supply: 440V / 3PH / 50Hz or customize
- Cooling: Water cooler + AC chiller / plate water heat exchanger configuration
- Fuel tank: 3800 L
How To Choose
If your main problem is oversized scrap, focus on chamber size and material range. If your issue is repeated yard-side pre-processing, control mode and output become more important. If structural scrap is common, the listed capacity for angle steel and I-beams is a more useful reference than generic product claims.
What Problem It Solves
The QSW-630 is intended to make heavy, long, and irregular scrap easier to cut down before transport, sorting, or furnace preparation. It does not replace every type of metal cutting equipment, but it is closely aligned with bulky ferrous size reduction in industrial recycling conditions.
