Power 18.5KW Scrap Metal Recycling Hydraulic Alligator Type Metal Shear 160t For Scrap Metal Recycling Centers

The Q43-1600 Alligator Shear is a high-performance, high-efficiency hydraulic metal cutting equipment designed for processing heavy-duty scrap metal. The name "Alligator Shear" derives from its unique working principle—a dynamic and fixed blade structure resembling an alligator's jaw, which opens and closes via powerful hydraulic drive to effortlessly bite through various metal materials. With its formidable 160-ton shearing force and an 800 mm blade length, this model is an ideal choice for industries such as scrap metal recycling, metal processing, and end-of-life vehicle dismantling. It efficiently processes large volumes of scrap into uniform, manageable segments for easy transportation and smelting, significantly enhancing operational efficiency and economic returns.

• Powerful Performance, Efficient Shearing: Equipped with a high-performance hydraulic system that delivers an immense 160-ton shearing force, powered by an 18.5kW motor. This ensures smooth and efficient cutting of high-strength materials like Ø63mm round steel or 55*55mm square steel.
• Robust Construction, Reliable Operation: The machine is constructed from high-quality steel plates with a solid welded frame, offering excellent impact resistance and stability for long-term, high-load operations. Key components, such as the blades, are made from special alloy steel and undergo specialized heat treatment, providing extreme hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue strength for an extended service life.
• User-Friendly Operation, Enhanced Safety: Features a generous 320 mm maximum opening, facilitating the feeding of large or irregularly shaped scrap. The control system typically utilizes two-hand buttons or a foot pedal switch, effectively preventing misuse and ensuring operator safety. The hydraulic system operates smoothly with low noise and requires simple maintenance.
• Wide Application, Cost-Effective: This model is a vital tool for increasing the value of scrap metal. By cutting and compacting scrap, it significantly reduces storage and transportation space, lowers logistics costs, and directly increases sales profits.

• Q: What materials can this alligator shear cut?
  A: This model is primarily used for cutting carbon steel, alloy steel, round steel, square steel, rebar, steel billets, profiles (such as I-beams and channel steel), scrap metal plates, and structural components. The maximum cutting capacity is Ø63mm round steel or 55*55mm square steel.
• Q: Is daily maintenance complicated?
  A: Maintenance is relatively straightforward. Primary tasks include regularly checking the hydraulic oil level and quality, keeping the blades sharp, cleaning debris from the machine, and lubricating all designated points periodically. Please refer to the product manual for detailed maintenance schedules and methods.
• Q: What safety precautions should be taken during operation?
  A: Safety devices (like two-hand buttons) must be used during operation. Never place hands within the shearing area. Keep clear of moving parts while the machine is operating and ensure the area around the equipment is unobstructed. Operators are advised to wear safety glasses and gloves.
• Q: Does it require a special foundation for installation?
  A: Yes. Due to the significant vibration and impact force generated during operation, the equipment must be securely anchored to a concrete foundation with embedded bolts to ensure operational stability and safety.

• Scrap Metal Recycling Centers: For fragmenting and cutting large scrap steel,废旧设备 (old machinery), and metal structures acquired for easy packing and transport.
• End-of-Life Vehicle Dismantling Plants: Used for quickly shearing car frames, bodies, engine blocks, and other metal parts.
• Metallurgy and Foundry Industries: Serves as a pre-processing equipment for furnace charges, cutting long scrap steel into short pieces that meet furnace requirements.
• Steel Structure Manufacturing and Processing: For recycling waste and offcuts generated during production.
• Construction Projects: Handling rebar scraps, scaffold tubes, and other metal waste on construction sites.
