Compact Hydraulic Scrap Alligator Shear Machine 2000kN Cutting Force 12-20 Times Per Min

The 2000kN Alligator Shear Machine is a powerful hydraulic cutting solution designed for demanding scrap metal processing environments. Equipped with a robust 800mm blade and a large 380mm blade opening, this machine is capable of handling thicker and stronger materials compared to smaller models.

This hydraulic alligator shear is engineered for users who need higher cutting capacity while still maintaining a compact and easy-to-operate system. It is widely used in scrap yards, metal recycling centers, and industrial workshops where processing heavier steel bars, pipes, and structural scrap is part of daily operations.

With a balanced combination of cutting force, speed, and durability, the Q43-2000 offers a practical upgrade for businesses looking to increase productivity without moving to oversized shear systems.

Cause

As scrap volume and material thickness increase, many recycling operations begin to face new challenges:

• Standard machines cannot handle thicker or harder materials
• Cutting efficiency drops when processing larger scrap sizes
• Manual cutting becomes unsafe and inconsistent
• Production bottlenecks appear before baling or melting stages

Without the right equipment, these issues can significantly limit operational capacity and profitability.

Solution

The Q43-2000 alligator shear machine is designed to address these challenges with enhanced performance:

• 2000kN shear force enables cutting of thicker steel and larger scrap
• Large blade opening (380mm) allows easier feeding of bulky materials
• High cutting frequency (12–20 cuts/min) maintains strong productivity
• Optimized hydraulic system ensures stable and smooth operation
• Flexible operation modes support both manual and PLC semi-automatic control

This makes it an ideal solution for upgrading from mid-range machines to a more capable and efficient cutting system.

Specifications

Application

This scrap metal alligator shear is suitable for a wide range of heavy-duty applications:

• Scrap yards handling medium to heavy steel materials
• Recycling plants processing thick bars, pipes, and profiles
• Steel fabrication workshops cutting leftover materials
• Metal collection centers preparing scrap for transport or baling
• Non-ferrous processing facilities dealing with dense materials

It is especially effective for cutting larger diameter round bars, square steel, and mixed structural scrap.

How It Works

The machine operates using a hydraulic-driven blade system. Scrap materials are manually fed into the cutting area, where they are positioned between the upper and lower blades. The hydraulic cylinder then drives the upper blade downward with strong force, shearing the material cleanly.

The large blade opening allows easy placement of thicker materials, while the stable cutting cycle ensures consistent results. With PLC semi-automatic control, repeated cutting cycles can be achieved with reduced operator effort.

How To Choose

When selecting a hydraulic alligator shear, consider the following:

• Material Size & Thickness
  The Q43-2000 is suitable for larger and thicker scrap compared to smaller models
• Production Demand
  Higher cutting force and frequency support increased throughput
• Work Environment
  Compact enough for most yards while still offering strong performance
• Operation Preference
  Manual for flexibility, PLC for improved efficiency
• Future Needs
  Ideal as a mid-to-high capacity solution for growing businesses
