380V Frequency 50Hz Scrap Shearing Machine For Smooth And Accurate Cutting Of Metal Scrap

The Q43W-4000A Horizontal Container Scrap Shear is a hydraulic scrap metal cutting machine designed for scrap recycling yards, metal processing plants, steel scrap preparation, and industrial waste metal handling. It is also known as a Container Metal Shear, Horizontal Scrap Shear, Hydraulic Container Shear, or Scrap Metal Shearing Machine.

This machine is suitable for cutting medium-sized scrap steel, steel plate offcuts, waste pipes, structural steel, metal profiles, machinery dismantling scrap, and other irregular metal materials. With a 4000kN cutting force, 1400mm blade length, and 1400*450mm output mouth, the Q43W-4000A can cut long and irregular scrap into shorter, easier-to-handle pieces for loading, transportation, storage, and furnace feeding.

Compared with manual flame cutting or small cutting equipment, the Q43W-4000A Container Metal Shear offers higher efficiency, more stable cutting size, reduced labor dependency, and better site management. It helps recycling companies improve scrap processing speed while reducing the cost and risk of traditional cutting methods.

The machine adopts a hydraulic drive system with 25MPa hydraulic pressure, 74kW power, and a cutting speed of approximately 2–3 cuts per minute. The air cooling system helps control hydraulic oil temperature during continuous operation, supporting stable machine performance and longer service life of hydraulic components.

This Horizontal Scrap Shear is widely used in scrap metal recycling yards, metal recycling companies, dismantling sites, steel mill scrap preparation areas, machinery processing plants, metal fabrication factories, and medium to large scrap handling centers. For customers who need to increase scrap cutting efficiency, reduce manual cutting costs, improve scrap size consistency, and increase loading density, the Q43W-4000A is a practical and cost-effective Hydraulic Container Shear solution.

WANSHIDA can customize the machine according to the customer’s scrap type, capacity requirement, site layout, voltage standard, and operation habits. The machine can be manufactured according to ISO9001:2000 standard or CE standard, with one year guarantee and lifelong maintenance support.

Cause

In the scrap metal recycling industry, many companies face the same challenge: scrap steel is oversized, irregular, difficult to stack, inefficient to transport, and costly to cut manually. Steel plate offcuts, waste pipes, steel profiles, medium structural scrap, and machinery dismantling parts often occupy large yard space if they are not cut into manageable sizes.

Traditional methods such as manual flame cutting, oxygen cutting, or small shearing machines may still be used in some recycling yards. These methods are flexible for occasional cutting, but they are not efficient enough for continuous scrap processing.

Common problems include:

• Slow cutting speed
• High labor cost
• Open flame safety risks
• Unstable scrap cutting size
• More smoke, sparks, and heat during operation
• Low loading density during transportation
• Large yard space occupied by oversized scrap
• Lower efficiency in furnace preparation

For recycling companies, processing efficiency directly affects profit. If scrap cannot be quickly cut into suitable sizes, it may slow down delivery, reduce yard turnover, and lower acceptance by steel mills or downstream buyers. This is why more scrap recycling companies are choosing hydraulic container shears instead of traditional manual cutting methods.

Solution

The Q43W-4000A Horizontal Scrap Shear provides a practical solution for cutting irregular scrap steel into shorter and more manageable pieces. Operators can feed scrap metal into the cutting area by grab crane, loader, forklift, or manual assistance depending on the site conditions. The hydraulic system then drives the cutting blade to shear the scrap efficiently.

The 4000kN cutting force is suitable for a wide range of common scrap metal materials. The 1400mm blade lengthallows the machine to handle wider or longer scrap pieces, while the 1400*450mm output mouth helps produce more manageable cut material. Button control makes operation simple and easy to learn. The air cooling system supports stable daily operation in scrap recycling yards.

By using the Q43W-4000A Container Metal Shear, customers can:

• Improve scrap cutting efficiency
• Reduce dependence on manual flame cutting
• Save yard space
• Increase loading density
• Make scrap easier to transport and sell
• Improve furnace-ready scrap preparation
• Reduce safety risks from open flame cutting
• Create a more standardized recycling workflow

This machine is especially suitable for medium-capacity scrap recycling yards and metal processing companies that need stable cutting performance without investing in a large gantry shear or complete heavy-duty cutting line.

Specifications

Application

The Q43W-4000A Hydraulic Container Shear can be used in many scrap metal recycling and industrial waste processing applications.

1. Scrap Recycling Yards

It is suitable for cutting mixed scrap steel, steel plate offcuts, waste pipes, steel profiles, angle steel, channel steel, and other recyclable metal scrap.

2. Metal Processing Plants

The machine can process metal offcuts, production waste, short steel pieces, and leftover materials from fabrication or machining operations.

3. Dismantling Sites and Recycling Centers

It can be used for machinery dismantling scrap, medium structural scrap, old equipment parts, and irregular metal waste.

4. Steel Mill Scrap Preparation

The machine helps cut irregular scrap into smaller sizes that are easier to stockpile, transport, and feed into furnaces.

5. Medium Scrap Handling Centers

For customers who do not need a large gantry shear but still require stable cutting capacity, the Q43W-4000A offers a practical balance between performance, cost, and space requirements.

Suitable materials include:

• Scrap steel
• Steel plate offcuts
• Waste metal pipes
• Angle steel and channel steel
• Steel profiles
• Machinery dismantling scrap
• Metal fabrication waste
• Medium and light structural scrap
• Furnace preparation scrap metal

How It Works

The Q43W-4000A Container Metal Shear uses hydraulic power to complete the scrap cutting process. The basic working process includes the following steps:

1. Feeding

Scrap metal is loaded into the cutting area by grab crane, loader, forklift, or other feeding equipment.

2. Positioning

The scrap is placed into the proper cutting position. The machine structure and hydraulic system help keep the material stable during cutting.

3. Hydraulic Cutting

The hydraulic pump station provides power to the cutting cylinder. The blade moves with strong hydraulic force and cuts the scrap metal into shorter pieces.

4. Discharging

After cutting, the processed scrap is discharged through the 1400*450mm output mouth, making it easier to collect, transport, and store.

5. Continuous Operation

The operator controls the machine through buttons to complete repeated feeding, cutting, and discharging cycles.

The hydraulic system is the core of the machine. Stable hydraulic pressure, proper oil circuit design, reliable cylinders, and an effective cooling system help ensure long-term stable operation.

How To Choose

When selecting a Horizontal Scrap Shear or Container Metal Shear, customers should consider the following factors:

1. Scrap Type

If the main materials are light to medium scrap steel, plate offcuts, pipes, profiles, or mixed scrap, the Q43W-4000A is usually a suitable choice. If the scrap is very thick or heavy, a larger container shear or gantry shear may be required.

2. Scrap Size

Customers should check the maximum length, width, thickness, and shape of the scrap material. The Q43W-4000A has a 1400mm blade length and 1400*450mm output mouth, making it suitable for many common medium-sized scrap cutting applications.

3. Required Capacity

For customers who need stable daily scrap processing but do not require a very large heavy-duty cutting line, this model offers a good balance between investment cost and processing efficiency.

4. Site Space

A horizontal container shear usually requires less space than a large gantry shear line. It is suitable for recycling yards with limited space or customers who want to improve existing scrap processing areas.

5. Operation Preference

The Q43W-4000A uses button control, which is simple, direct, and easy for operators to learn.

6. Power Supply

Different countries have different voltage and frequency standards. WANSHIDA can customize the machine according to local power supply requirements. Customers should confirm voltage, frequency, and available power before ordering.
