Customer Pain Points

The customer operates a medium-sized scrap yard mainly processing scrap steel bars, rebar, and pipes. Before contacting us, they relied heavily on manual gas cutting and grinders, which caused several problems:

• High labor cost due to skilled workers

• Safety risks from sparks, heat, and unstable cutting

• Low cutting efficiency, especially during peak scrap intake

• Difficulty cutting long steel bars into baler-ready sizes

With increasing labor costs and stricter safety awareness in the region, the customer urgently needed a safe, mechanical cutting solution with reasonable investment cost.
