Heavy-Duty Container Shear for Large Scrap Handling with 5000kN Cutting Force

For scrap yards dealing with oversized metal waste, efficiency is often limited by the inability to quickly reduce material size. The Q43W-5000 container shear is specifically engineered to solve this challenge by combining a high-capacity feeding system with a powerful hydraulic cutting mechanism.

With its 5000kN cutting force and 110kW power system, this machine is designed for continuous operation under demanding industrial conditions. It transforms bulky metal waste into manageable pieces, making transportation and downstream processing significantly easier.

Industry Challenges

Many recycling facilities struggle with:

• Handling long and irregular scrap pieces
• Inefficient manual cutting processes
• High downtime due to equipment limitations
• Increased logistics costs caused by oversized materials

These issues reduce overall plant efficiency and limit profitability.

Engineered Solution

The Q43W-5000 container shear machine is built to address these real-world challenges:

• A large feeding chamber (3300×2400mm) allows direct loading of bulky scrap
• A 1400mm cutting blade ensures precise and consistent cutting
• A high cutting frequency (3–4 cuts per minute) boosts throughput
• The PLC automatic system simplifies operation and reduces labor dependence

This makes it an ideal solution for facilities looking to scale their metal recycling operations.

Key Technical Data

Application Scope

The machine is designed for a wide range of industrial applications, including:

• Processing structural steel and heavy scrap
• Cutting long metal profiles and beams
• Pre-processing scrap before baling or melting
• Recycling operations in steel plants and dismantling yards

It is suitable for materials such as steel, aluminum, copper, and mixed scrap metals.

Working Principle

The cutting process is powered by a hydraulic drive system, which delivers high-pressure force to the shear blade. Scrap materials are fed into the chamber, where they are positioned and cut into shorter sections.

The PLC control system manages the entire cycle, ensuring stable performance, repeatability, and operator safety.

Selection Considerations

Choosing the right container shear depends on:

• Maximum scrap size and thickness
• Required output size after cutting
• Daily processing volume
• Available installation space
• Power supply conditions

For operations handling large and heavy scrap, the Q43W-5000 offers an excellent balance between power and efficiency.
