Q43-2000 Hydraulic Alligator Shear for Scrap Steel Cutting

1. Product Description

The Q43-2000 hydraulic alligator shear is designed for scrap steel cutting in recycling yards, metal collection stations, and workshop-side scrap handling applications. This model is suitable for users who need a compact hydraulic cutting machine for repeated daily shearing of ferrous scrap and steel offcuts. Based on the attached technical sheet, the machine is equipped with 2000 kN largest shear force, 800 mm shear knife length, and 8–12 cuts per minute, which makes it suitable for practical medium-duty scrap cutting work.

In daily scrap processing, long or irregular steel pieces often create handling difficulty before loading, sorting, or downstream recycling. A hydraulic alligator shear helps solve this problem by cutting scrap into shorter and more manageable sizes. Compared with larger gantry or guillotine shear systems, an alligator shear is typically used where buyers need a more compact cutting solution with simpler feeding and repeated short-cycle operation.

The attached specification sheet shows that this model uses 21 MPa hydraulic system pressure, 210 mm cut cylinder stroke, 60 mm hold cylinder stroke, and 80 kN largest holding force. These parameters support stable blade movement and material holding during cutting cycles. The machine also uses a 22 kW motor and a 160YCY14-1B hydraulic pump with 160 ml/r nominal discharge and 31.5 MPa nominal pressure.

2. Product Positioning

The Q43-2000 is best positioned as a hydraulic alligator shear for scrap steel cutting. It is suitable for:

1. Scrap steel cutting
2. Workshop offcut reduction
3. Recycling station metal size reduction
4. Repeated short-cycle cutting work
5. Compact ferrous scrap handling operations

This model is more suitable for buyers looking for a compact scrap cutting machine than for those seeking a large continuous-feed heavy scrap shear line.

3. Suitable Materials

This model is generally suitable for cutting:

1. Scrap steel
2. Steel offcuts
3. Light-to-medium ferrous scrap
4. Short bar and section offcuts
5. Recyclable steel pieces requiring size reduction

The attachment itself identifies the machine as a Metal Shear, and the product direction here is aligned to the user’s stated 200 ton alligator shear positioning. The cited technical sheet confirms the machine class and main cutting parameters.

4. Recommended Application Scenarios

4.1 Scrap Yard Daily Steel Cutting

Suitable for scrap yards that need repeated cutting of steel scrap into shorter sections for easier storage and transfer.

4.2 Workshop Offcut Handling

Suitable for workshops that generate steel offcuts and need a practical hydraulic cutting solution near the production area.

4.3 Recycling Station Material Preparation

Suitable for recycling points that need to reduce metal size before sorting, loading, or resale.

4.4 Medium-Duty Short-Cycle Cutting

With 8–12 cuts per minute, this model is suitable for operations requiring repeated short-cycle cutting rather than large continuous chamber-fed processing.

6. Core Product Advantages

6.1 2000 kN Shear Force for Practical Scrap Cutting

The attached sheet lists 2000 kN largest shear force, giving this model practical cutting capability for repeated scrap steel shearing tasks.

6.2 800 mm Shear Knife Length

An 800 mm shear knife length provides useful blade coverage for general scrap steel cutting work.

6.3 High Cutting Frequency for Repeated Work

The listed 8–12 times/min cutting frequency makes this model suitable for repeated short-cycle operation.

6.4 Stable Hydraulic System

The machine uses 21 MPa hydraulic system pressure, supported by a pump with 31.5 MPa nominal pressure, helping maintain stable hydraulic action during cutting work.

6.5 Practical Motor Configuration

The machine is equipped with one Y200L2-6 motor, rated at 1460 rpm and 22 kW, which fits the published hydraulic and cutting configuration.

7. Working Process

7.1 Material Feeding

Scrap steel or steel offcuts are placed into the blade area for cutting preparation.

7.2 Material Holding

The hydraulic hold system applies force to stabilize the material before shearing. The technical sheet lists 80 kN largest holding force and 60 mm hold cylinder stroke.

7.3 Hydraulic Cutting

The cut cylinder drives the blade movement through a 210 mm stroke, delivering the published 2000 kN shearing force.

7.4 Output and Collection

After cutting, the shortened material can be collected for storage, transfer, or downstream recycling.

8. RFQ

8.1 What information should buyers provide before quotation?

1. What type of scrap steel do you mainly cut?
