Technical Specifications

Application

This machine is widely used for cutting steel bars, aluminum profiles, copper rods, and other light scrap materials.

It is suitable for scrap recycling stations, metal collection centers, small steel plants, and pre-processing before baling or melting. It helps reduce material size, improve transport efficiency, and prepare scrap for further processing.

Working Principle

The Q43-1000 operates through a hydraulic system that drives the moving blade to shear materials against a fixed blade. The integrated holding system secures the scrap during cutting, ensuring safer and more stable operation.

With a cutting frequency of 9–20 times per minute, the machine delivers consistent performance for continuous daily use.
