Tiger shear is crucial in the scrap recycling industry. It works on a powerful hydraulic system. High - pressure hydraulic oil drives the piston, forcing the moving blade to cut against the fixed blade. This mechanism allows it to exert a large shearing force and cut through various materials.    In scrap processing, tiger shear has multiple uses. It reduces large - sized scrap, making it easier to handle, transport and process. For example, it can cut thick metal sheets, car bodies and large plastic chunks. Cutting scrap into smaller pieces increases the surface area, which benefits subsequent recycling processes such as melting or shredding, and improves recycling efficiency. Additionally, precise cutting ensures a high - quality end - product and better material separation.    In a metal recycling plant, a tiger shear was used to process old steel beams. It can quickly cut them into manageable lengths, significantly reducing processing time compared to manual cutting. In a plastic recycling facility, it efficiently cut large plastic pipes, enabling more efficient granulation.     Understanding the manufacturer's technical data sheet is essential for making accurate decisions.   1.Shearing Force:   This is the most critical parameter, directly determining the thickness and hardness of materials the machine can cut.   2.Blade Length:   Determines the width of material that can be cut at one time. Common lengths range from 600mm to over 1000mm.   3.Main Unit Power (kW):   The power of the motor driving the hydraulic station affects energy consumption and continuous operation.   4.Opening Width/Cylinder Stroke (mm):   Determines the maximum height (or thickness) of material that can be loaded.   5.Shearing Frequency (min):   Theoretically, the number of times the blade can cycle per minute. The actual operating frequency is affected by operating speed.   6.Control System:   Standard relay control: Economical and easy to maintain.   PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) control: High stability, powerful functionality, easy automation linkage (such as integration with conveyors), and convenient fault diagnosis. Recommended choice. Tiger shear contributes significantly to environmental protection and resource circular utilization. By effectively recycling scrap, it reduces the need for extracting virgin materials, conserving natural resources. Also, proper scrap recycling minimizes waste sent to landfills, thus reducing environmental pollution.If you need more help, please contact us.

Key Technologies and Configurations Hydraulic press (with Pre-Compression Cylinder): This is the core feature that distinguishes this machine from other machines.   Benefits: Before the main cylinder's high-pressure pressing, the pre-compression cylinder squeezes out most of the cutting fluid/oil from the chips. This significantly increases cake density (by removing air), reduces grease dripping, and ensures purer recovered cutting fluid. If your chips contain a lot of oil/fluid, a machine with this feature is highly recommended.   Control Methods:   Manual/Semi-Automatic: Lower cost, requiring manual control of each step.   Fully Automatic (PLC Control): After program setup, a single button starts the process, automatically completing all steps—feeding, pressing, holding pressure, and demolding. High efficiency and low labor intensity make this the preferred choice for modern workshops.   Feeding Box Capacity and Feeding Method:   Feeding Box Size: Determines the amount of chips that can be processed at a time.   Feeding Methods: Top loading and automatic conveyor feeding are available. For high-volume applications, an automatic feeder can significantly improve efficiency.   Hydraulic System Quality:   Component Brand: Ask about the brands of key hydraulic pumps, valves, and cylinders. Using equipment from reputable brands (such as Rexroth) ensures greater stability and longevity.   Structure and Materials:   Frame: What thickness of steel plates are used for welding? Is it sufficiently rigid to prevent deformation during long-term use?   Molds (die and punch): Are they made of high-strength alloy steel and heat-treated? This directly affects wear resistance and service life.

Gantry shear is a stationary hydraulic cutting machine for large, heavy, and dense scrap metal items too big for other equipment,such as demolition steel,industrial scrap, transportation scrap, white goods, and non-ferrous Metals. It uses strong shearing force to cut it into small pieces. This is the most important step, as it determines the direction of all subsequent choices. Be sure to answer the following questions:   1. What material do you process?   Material: Is it ordinary carbon steel (A3 steel), stainless steel, aluminum alloy, copper, or mixed metal scrap? Different materials have different strengths and require different shear forces.   2. What is your processing capacity?   Average daily/monthly processing capacity (tons): This directly determines the size and efficiency of the equipment you need.   3. Nominal shear force (tons)   This is the most critical parameter. It indicates the maximum pressure the shears can generate.   Recommended selection: Choose based on the thickest and hardest materials you frequently process. It's better to choose a larger size than a smaller one. Insufficient shear force will lead to inefficiency, rapid blade wear, and even equipment damage. For processing heavy scrap steel and steel sections, a minimum capacity of 400 tons is recommended.   4. Feeding box size (length x width x height)   This determines how much material you can load at once and directly impacts work efficiency.   Width is particularly important as it determines the maximum width of material that can be handled.
