84KW Hydraulic Container Scrap Shear 4000kN For Heavy Ferrous Scrap Recycling

Product Overview

The Q43W-4000B Container Scrap Shear is a 4000 kN hydraulic cutting solution for recyclers that need greater control over heavy ferrous scrap preparation. It is designed for turning oversized, irregular steel into more consistent pieces before storage, transportation, resale, or steel mill charging.

For many scrap businesses, the challenge is not just cutting capacity. It is controlling the process safely and repeatedly when incoming material varies in length, shape, and thickness. Long profiles, fabrication offcuts, structural steel, and demolition scrap can be difficult to handle with small shears. They may require repeated repositioning, occupy too much space, and lead to inconsistent cut sizes when processed manually.

The Q43W-4000B addresses this workflow with a heavy-duty hydraulic system, 1400 mm blade length, and a 1400 × 450 mm output opening. Its 4000 kN cutting force is intended for suitable normal carbon-steel scrap, while the button-control operation gives trained operators direct control over each cutting cycle. With a cutting speed of 2–3 cuts per minute, the machine is suited to operations where stable processing and reliable material preparation are more important than simply pursuing the highest possible cutting speed.

Cause

Heavy scrap processing can become inefficient when material preparation depends too heavily on manual work. Gas cutting may be necessary for special material, but relying on it for regular heavy scrap can create several operational pressures.

These include:

• More safety management around hot work and open flames
• Inconsistent finished lengths from manual cutting
• Higher labour demand for moving and positioning scrap
• Delays when material must wait for torch cutting
• Difficult yard management caused by long and bulky scrap
• Lower loading density in trucks or containers
• Downstream buyer concerns about oversized pieces

When cut size is not controlled, recyclers may also face more sorting work and less efficient stockpile management.

Solution

The Q43W-4000B offers a mechanical method for preparing suitable heavy scrap. Operators can feed and position material with a grab crane, excavator grapple, or forklift, then complete the cutting cycle through the button-control system.

Its hydraulic system operates at 25 MPa and delivers up to 4000 kN of cutting force. The 1400 mm blade provides a broad cutting width for a variety of structural and industrial scrap shapes. After cutting, the material is discharged through the 1400 × 450 mm output opening for collection and further handling.

This gives the recycling operation a more repeatable process: load, position, cut, discharge, and repeat. By establishing a dedicated size-reduction stage, businesses can prepare scrap more consistently before it enters storage, transport, or the next processing line.

Specifications

Application

The Q43W-4000B is suitable for normal ferrous scrap processing in applications such as:

• Scrap yards receiving structural and industrial steel
• Demolition recycling operations
• Steel fabrication plants with long offcuts
• Metal traders preparing scrap for resale
• Foundry and steel mill scrap suppliers
• Shipyard and engineering workshop scrap handling
• Heavy mixed scrap sorting and size-reduction stations

The final cutting suitability depends on material grade, thickness, section size, and feed condition. Buyers should provide representative scrap photos and dimensions before final model confirmation.

How It Works

The operator loads scrap into the shear with suitable material-handling equipment. Material is positioned according to the required finished length, then the cutting cycle is started through the button-control system.

The hydraulic power unit supplies pressure to the cutting mechanism. The blade shears the material, and the processed piece exits through the output opening. The operator then repositions the remaining material for the next cycle.

This controlled sequence makes it easier to create more uniform scrap pieces than with irregular manual cutting, supporting cleaner stockpile management and more efficient loading.

How To Choose

Choose the Q43W-4000B when your operation handles heavy normal-steel scrap on a regular basis and needs controlled size reduction before transport or sale.

Key points to confirm include:

• Your main scrap types and maximum dimensions
• The proportion of long, thick, or structural steel in the feedstock
• Required production volume per shift or per day
• Desired final cut length
• Available crane, grapple, or forklift for loading
• Site layout, electrical capacity, and ambient temperature
• Material-size requirements from your downstream buyer

FAQ

Why choose a container scrap shear instead of manual gas cutting?

For suitable material, hydraulic shearing can provide a more repeatable process, reduce regular dependence on hot work, and help produce more consistent scrap sizes.

Can this machine cut all kinds of metal?

No. The Q43W-4000B is primarily intended for suitable normal carbon-steel scrap. Stainless steel, alloy steel, sealed items, and unknown materials should be separately assessed.

What cooling system does this model use?

It is equipped with an air cooling system for the hydraulic oil. The final cooling configuration can be evaluated according to local temperature and daily working hours.

Is the machine fully automatic?

This model uses button control. It gives the operator direct control over the cutting process, while loading and material positioning are completed using suitable yard equipment.

How do I know whether 4000 kN is enough for my scrap?

Please send photos, material dimensions, thickness, steel type, and your required output. These details are necessary to confirm whether this model can process your scrap safely and efficiently.
