Product Overview
The Alligator Shear is a powerful hydraulic metal cutting machine widely used in the scrap recycling industry. It is designed to cut various kinds of metal materials such as round steel, rebar, pipes, steel plates, copper, and aluminum profiles. Named after its alligator-shaped jaws, this machine uses hydraulic force to deliver high cutting power. It features compact structure, simple operation, and high safety, making it an ideal equipment for metal recycling and processing.
Application Scope
Alligator shears are widely used in:
- Scrap metal recycling and steel mills
- End-of-life vehicle dismantling lines
- Appliance and machinery recycling
- Pre-treatment before metal baling
- Metal fabrication and reuse industries
- Applicable materials include steel bars, rebar, square steel, copper rods, aluminum profiles, iron plates, and waste pipes.
Working Principle
- Feeding: The scrap metal is placed into the shear opening.
- Clamping: The hydraulic clamp securely holds the material in position.
- Cutting: The main hydraulic cylinder drives the upper blade downward against the fixed lower blade to shear the material.
- Discharging: After cutting, the blades return to the original position for the next cycle.
- The system adopts a PLC control system, allowing both manual and automatic operation with high precision and safety.
