Highly Durable Gantry Cutting Tool With PLC Control System And Hydraulic Power Type

The Q43L-8000L Horizontal Container Scrap Shear is a heavy-duty hydraulic cutting machine designed for scrap steel recycling and metal pre-processing. With an 8000kN cutting force, an 8000*1950*900mm loading room and a 2000mm blade length, this machine is suitable for cutting scrap steel, steel profiles, steel plate offcuts, metal structures, dismantled scrap, light mixed scrap and large irregular metal waste.

Compared with small cutting machines, the Q43L-8000L scrap metal container shear offers a larger loading space, stronger cutting force and higher automation level. Long, loose and irregular metal scrap can be loaded into the chamber, compressed by the hydraulic system and cut into shorter, more manageable sizes. The PLC automatic control system helps reduce manual operation and improve cutting efficiency.

This industrial hydraulic scrap shear is equipped with 270kW power, 25MPa hydraulic system pressure, 2–3 cutting cycles per minute and an air cooling system. With a machine weight of about 92000kg, it is built for large scrap recycling yards, steel mill preparation centers, dismantling plants, resource recycling bases and heavy metal processing companies.

For customers who want to increase loading density, reduce transportation cost and improve yard turnover efficiency, the Q43L-8000L horizontal container scrap shear is a stable and efficient solution for continuous heavy scrap processing.

In the scrap metal recycling industry, many scrap materials are long, irregular, loose and difficult to transport. Steel structures, scrap plates, profiles, pipes, dismantled machinery parts and mixed metal waste often cause several problems if they are not cut before transportation or remelting.

• Large scrap takes up too much yard space and reduces loading efficiency.
• Loose scrap has low loading density, increasing truck or container transportation cost.
• Irregular scrap size makes downstream furnace charging and handling more difficult.
• Manual flame cutting is slow, labor-intensive and creates safety and environmental pressure.
• Small shearing equipment cannot meet the continuous processing needs of large-volume heavy scrap.

For these reasons, more recycling companies use horizontal container scrap shears or gantry shears to pre-process oversized scrap metal. After cutting, scrap becomes shorter, more regular and easier to load, transport and reuse.

The Q43L-8000L horizontal container scrap shear uses a large loading chamber, powerful hydraulic pressing system and 8000kN cutting force to cut irregular scrap into transportable and reusable sizes. The 8000*1950*900mm loading room allows more material to be loaded at one time, reducing frequent feeding and improving production continuity.

The 2000mm blade length covers a wide material range, making the machine suitable for cutting steel plates, profiles, scrap structures and mixed metal waste. The 25MPa hydraulic system provides stable pressure, while the PLC automatic control system coordinates the pressing and cutting process for safer and more efficient operation.

The 270kW power configuration is suitable for large recycling yards and continuous working conditions. The air cooling system helps control hydraulic oil temperature and supports stable long-term operation. For customers upgrading from manual cutting or small shears to an automatic scrap processing system, the Q43L-8000L provides a more industrial and efficient scrap metal cutting solution.

The Q43L-8000L hydraulic container shear can be widely used in the following applications:

• Large scrap metal recycling yards
  For cutting steel scrap, mixed scrap, dismantled metal parts and recyclable steel materials to improve loading and transportation efficiency.
• Steel mills and furnace preparation centers
  For cutting oversized scrap into suitable sizes before furnace charging.
• Dismantling yards
  For processing machinery structures, steel plates, waste equipment parts and demolition scrap.
• Metal processing companies
  For cutting steel plate offcuts, profile scrap, pipe scrap and production waste.
• Resource recycling bases
  For centralized and large-scale scrap pre-processing to improve standardization and resale value.

The Q43L-8000L Horizontal Container Scrap Shear usually works through feeding, pressing, cutting, discharging and cycle operation.

1. First, scrap metal is loaded into the chamber by a grab machine, loader or other feeding equipment. The 8000*1950*900mm loading room can accept long and loose scrap materials.
2. Then, the hydraulic pressing system compresses and holds the scrap in position. This reduces movement and bouncing during cutting.
3. Next, the main cutting cylinder drives the blade. With a 2000mm blade length and 8000kN cutting force, the machine cuts the scrap into shorter sections.
4. After cutting, the processed scrap is discharged for loading, stacking or furnace preparation.
5. The PLC automatic control system coordinates pressing, cutting and returning actions, allowing the machine to work according to the preset program and improving cutting efficiency and operational safety.

When choosing a suitable horizontal container scrap shear, customers should consider the following factors:

1. Scrap type
   If the main materials are steel plates, profiles, pipes, scrap structures and mixed heavy scrap, a machine with higher cutting force and longer blade length is required. The Q43L-8000L is suitable for medium and large scrap recycling projects.
2. Daily processing capacity
   For large daily scrap volume, a larger loading room, stable cutting speed and higher automation are important. The 8000*1950*900mm loading room increases single loading volume and supports continuous operation.
3. Site layout and feeding method
   Large scrap shears usually work with grab machines, loaders or conveying equipment. Customers should confirm site area, foundation conditions, feeding direction and discharging method before selecting the machine.
4. Power supply condition
   The Q43L-8000L has a power of 270kW and is suitable for industrial power supply conditions. Before ordering, customers should confirm local voltage, frequency and transformer capacity.
5. Automation requirements
   PLC automatic control is suitable for customers who want lower labor intensity, better production continuity and higher safety. Additional automation options can also be customized according to project needs.
