Industrial Alligator Shear With 2000kN Cutting Force For Medium Scrap Steel And Recycling Yard Processing

Industrial Alligator Shear With 2000kN Cutting Force For Medium Scrap Steel And Recycling Yard Processing

Product Overview

The Q43-2000 Alligator Shear is a powerful and practical hydraulic cutting machine designed for scrap metal recycling yards, steel processing workshops, foundries, metal collection stations and industrial scrap recovery sites. With a maximum shear force of 2000kN, a 380mm blade opening, an 800mm blade length and 22kW motor power, this model offers stronger cutting capacity than smaller alligator shears while still keeping a compact structure and flexible operation.

This machine is suitable for cutting medium scrap steel, rebar, round steel, steel bars, angle steel, channel steel, pipes, profiles and production offcuts. It can process scrap sizes up to 65×65mm or Φ75mm, making it a good choice for customers whose materials are heavier than what a 1600kN shear can comfortably handle, but who do not yet need a large gantry shear or container shear system.

For many recycling businesses, long and irregular scrap metal creates problems in storage, loading, transportation and resale. The Q43-2000 hydraulic alligator shear helps cut oversized scrap into shorter, easier-to-handle pieces. This improves yard organization, increases loading efficiency, reduces manual cutting work and prepares scrap for baling, furnace feeding or direct selling.

The machine supports manual feeding and can be equipped with manual control or PLC semi-automatic operation. Manual operation is simple and economical, while PLC semi-automatic control provides better convenience and more consistent cutting action for repeated daily work. With a cutting frequency of 12–20 times per minute, the Q43-2000 is suitable for customers who need stable daily production and practical cutting efficiency.

Cause

Many scrap recycling yards face a common problem: some scrap materials are too thick for small shears, but the investment in a large cutting line is not necessary. Materials such as heavier rebar, round steel, steel bars and structural scrap may slow down the working process if they are handled only by manual cutting or gas cutting.

Manual cutting is labor-intensive, slow and difficult to maintain at a stable speed. Long scrap also takes up more storage space and makes truck or container loading less efficient. When scrap cannot be cut into proper sizes, it may reduce handling efficiency and increase operating costs.

That is why many buyers need a 2000kN hydraulic alligator shear as a stronger and more economical middle-level cutting solution.

Solution

The Q43-2000 Alligator Shear provides a balanced solution for medium-to-heavy scrap cutting. It offers stronger cutting force than entry-level models and remains easier to install, operate and maintain than large shear systems.

Main advantages include:

• 2000kN shear force for stronger scrap cutting performance
• 380mm blade opening for easier placement of larger materials
• 800mm blade length for efficient cutting coverage
• Cuts up to 65×65mm steel scrap or Φ75mm round steel
• 12–20 cuts per minute for stable daily processing
• 22kW power, balancing performance and energy use
• Manual feeding for simple yard operation
• Manual or PLC semi-automatic control available
• Suitable for medium scrap yards and steel processing sites
• Factory customization available for voltage, color, control system and blade material

This model is especially suitable for buyers who want to upgrade from a smaller alligator shear and need a more powerful scrap metal cutting machine for regular recycling work.

Specifications

Application

The Q43-2000 Hydraulic Alligator Shear is widely used in scrap metal recycling and steel processing industries. It is suitable for customers who need to cut medium and relatively heavy scrap into shorter sizes before loading, baling, smelting or resale.

Typical application sites include:

• Scrap metal recycling yards
• Steel bar and rebar processing workshops
• Metal collection and trading stations
• Foundries and steel mills
• Machinery manufacturing plants
• Demolition scrap recovery sites
• Industrial waste metal processing centers

Common materials include:

• Rebar
• Round steel
• Steel bars
• Angle steel
• Channel steel
• Steel pipes
• Metal profiles
• Workshop offcuts
• Mixed medium scrap steel

For businesses that need higher cutting capacity than smaller models, the Q43-2000 offers a practical balance between power, price and working efficiency.

How It Works

The operator manually feeds the scrap material into the cutting area. The holding system presses the material to keep it stable during cutting. Then the hydraulic blade moves downward and cuts the scrap into shorter sections.

The working process is simple and suitable for recycling yard conditions. Manual control is easy to learn and maintain. PLC semi-automatic control can be selected when the customer wants easier repeated operation and more consistent cutting rhythm.

Because the machine can work independently, it does not require a full production line. It can be used as a single scrap cutting machine or combined with other equipment such as metal balers, conveyors or material handling equipment according to the customer’s workflow.

How To Choose

When choosing an alligator shear machine, buyers should consider material size, hardness, daily processing volume and budget.

1. Choose Q43-2000 if Q43-1600 is not enough
   If your scrap is larger than 55×55mm / Φ63mm, the Q43-2000 provides stronger cutting capacity up to 65×65mm / Φ75mm.
2. Choose this model for medium-to-heavy daily scrap cutting
   It is suitable for recycling yards that regularly process rebar, round steel, steel bars and metal profiles.
3. Choose manual operation for simple use and lower cost
   Manual control is economical and easy for operators to understand.
4. Choose PLC semi-automatic operation for better convenience
   PLC control is recommended if you want smoother repeated cutting and easier operation.
5. Choose a larger model if your scrap is beyond this range
   If your material is thicker, harder or larger than the recommended cutting capacity, Q43-2500 or Q43-4000 may be more suitable.

FAQ

1. What materials can the Q43-2000 Alligator Shear cut?

The Q43-2000 can cut medium scrap steel, rebar, round steel, steel bars, angle steel, channel steel, steel pipes, metal profiles and industrial offcuts. The recommended maximum cutting size is 65×65mm or Φ75mm, depending on material hardness.

2. What is the difference between Q43-1600 and Q43-2000?

The Q43-2000 has stronger shear force, larger blade opening and higher cutting capacity. It is suitable for customers whose scrap is heavier than the Q43-1600 cutting range.

3. Is this machine suitable for a recycling yard?

Yes. This hydraulic alligator shear is very suitable for scrap metal recycling yards that need to cut long or irregular scrap into shorter pieces before loading, baling, melting or resale.

4. Can this machine work independently?

Yes. The Q43-2000 can work as an independent scrap metal cutting machine. It does not require a complete production line, which makes it suitable for many small and medium recycling businesses.

5. Can the machine be customized?
