Space Saving Compact Metal Cutting Shear 4000kN For Heavy Scrap Metal And Recycling Yard Cutting

Space Saving Compact Metal Cutting Shear 4000kN For Heavy Scrap Metal And Recycling Yard Cutting

Product Overview

The 4000kN Metal Cutting Shear is a heavy-duty hydraulic cutting machine designed for scrap metal recycling yards, steel processing plants, foundries, metal collection centers and industrial material recovery operations. With a maximum shear force of 4000kN, a 1200mm blade length, and a large 550mm blade opening, this machine is built to cut thick and irregular metal scrap such as steel bars, round steel, angle steel, channel steel, rebar, pipes, profiles and mixed scrap materials.

Compared with smaller alligator shears, this model offers stronger cutting capacity and better adaptability for high-strength scrap. It can cut scrap sizes up to 90×90mm or Φ100mm, making it suitable for customers who need a reliable hydraulic metal cutting shear for medium-to-heavy recycling work. The machine supports manual feeding and can be operated by manual control or PLC semi-automatic control, allowing buyers to choose the operation method according to labor conditions, budget and production habits.

For scrap yards and recycling companies, cutting oversized scrap into furnace-ready or transport-friendly sizes is an important step before baling, melting or resale. This scrap metal cutting machine helps reduce material volume, improve loading efficiency, lower transportation costs and increase the value of processed metal scrap.

Cause

Many recycling yards face the same problems: scrap steel is too long, too heavy, irregular in shape, or difficult to load directly into containers, trucks, furnaces or balers. Manual cutting with gas or portable tools is slow, labor-intensive and not suitable for continuous production. It also increases labor costs, safety risks and cutting inconsistency.

When scrap materials include round steel, thick steel bars, heavy rebar or structural profiles, a stronger and more stable hydraulic scrap metal shear becomes necessary. Buyers need a machine that can handle different scrap shapes, cut efficiently, and work reliably under tough industrial conditions.

Solution

This 4000kN hydraulic metal cutting shear provides a practical solution for heavy scrap cutting. The powerful hydraulic system delivers stable shear force, while the long blade allows wider material coverage during each cut. The large blade opening makes feeding easier, especially when processing bulky or irregular scrap.

Key advantages include:

• 4000kN strong cutting force for heavy scrap metal processing
• 1200mm blade length for better cutting coverage
• 550mm blade opening for easier feeding of large materials
• Suitable for 90×90mm steel scrap and Φ100mm round steel
• 13–20 cuts per minute, supporting efficient yard operation
• Manual or PLC semi-automatic operation available
• Compact and practical structure for recycling yards and metal processing plants
• Customizable configuration available from factory engineers

This machine is especially useful for customers who want a durable metal cutting shear with strong performance but do not require a large gantry shear production line.

Specifications

Application

The Metal Cutting Shear is widely used for cutting and processing:

• Scrap steel bars
• Rebar and round steel
• Angle steel and channel steel
• Steel pipes and metal profiles
• Mixed scrap from recycling yards
• Foundry return materials
• Demolition scrap
• Industrial metal offcuts

It is suitable for scrap metal recycling yards, steel mills, metal trading companies, foundries, dismantling plants, machinery factories and waste metal recovery stations. For customers who need to prepare scrap before baling, melting, transportation or resale, this machine provides a strong and cost-effective cutting solution.

How It Works

The operator manually feeds scrap metal into the cutting area. The hydraulic holding system helps stabilize the material before cutting. After the material is positioned, the hydraulic blade moves downward with strong shear force and cuts the scrap into shorter sections.

For manual operation, the operator controls each movement directly. For PLC semi-automatic operation, the cutting process can be more convenient and consistent, reducing repeated manual operation and improving working efficiency. The simple working principle makes the machine easy to operate, maintain and train for daily production.

How To Choose

When choosing a hydraulic metal cutting shear, buyers should consider the following points:

1. Material Type
   If you mainly cut steel bars, round steel, rebar or thick scrap, a higher shear force model such as 4000kN is more suitable.
2. Maximum Scrap Size
   This model can cut up to 90×90mm steel scrap or Φ100mm round steel, making it a good choice for medium and heavy scrap.
3. Production Requirement
   With 13–20 cutting times per minute, this machine can meet regular recycling yard production needs.
4. Operation Preference
   Manual control is simple and economical. PLC semi-automatic operation is more convenient for customers who want higher consistency and easier operation.
5. Factory Customization
   Blade material, voltage, machine color, control system and feeding layout can be adjusted according to the buyer’s site requirements.

FAQ

1. What materials can this Metal Cutting Shear cut?

This machine is suitable for cutting scrap steel, round steel, rebar, angle steel, channel steel, steel pipes, metal profiles and other similar scrap materials. The recommended maximum cutting size is 90×90mm or Φ100mm, depending on material hardness.

2. Is this machine suitable for a scrap metal recycling yard?

Yes. This hydraulic scrap metal shear is designed for recycling yards that need to cut long, heavy or irregular scrap into shorter and more manageable pieces before loading, melting, baling or resale.

3. What is the difference between manual operation and PLC semi-automatic operation?

Manual operation is simple, economical and easy to maintain. PLC semi-automatic operation makes the cutting process more convenient and consistent, which is helpful for customers who want easier control and improved working efficiency.

4. Can the machine be customized?

Yes. As a factory supplier, we can provide customization for voltage, blade material, control system, machine color, layout and other details according to the customer’s working site and scrap material condition.

5. How do I know if 4000kN shear force is enough for my material?

You can confirm based on your material type, maximum size and hardness. For common scrap steel, rebar, round steel and structural scrap within the recommended cutting range, this 4000kN model is a strong and practical choice. If your material is harder or larger, our engineers can recommend a more suitable model.
