Horizontal Shear machine (also known as hydraulic shearing machine, Tiger head shearing machine) is a medium and heavy-duty core equipment in the metal recycling and scrap steel processing industry. It mainly adopts full hydraulic drive and is specifically designed for cold cutting pretreatment of large and irregular materials such as scrapped car frames, heavy scrap steel, large scrap metal, thick walled steel pipes, I-beams, and channel steel.
Our heavy-duty Scrap Metal Horizontal Shear (Container Box Shear) provides a full one-stop industrial solution for large-volume, bulky scrap metal recycling and pretreatment. Different from traditional alligator shears, this horizontal box-type shear integrates automatic pre-compression, hydraulic feeding and continuous horizontal shearing in one closed unit. It solves the industry pain points of scattered feeding, low efficiency and difficult handling of oversized metal scraps. We deliver complete turn-key services including equipment customization, production line design, on-site installation, operational training and global after-sales support, helping clients build a high-efficiency, low-cost scrap metal processing system with one single cooperation.
Core Technical Parameters and Structural Characteristics
Horizontal Shear machine cutting force and blade specifications
The equipment cutting force usually covers multiple levels from 315 tons to 630 tons, and the working blade length covers 800mm to 1800mm. Among them, shearing machines with blade lengths above 700mm are particularly suitable for cutting large materials such as scrapped cars.
Horizontal Shear machine body structure design
It adopts a heavy-duty scrap steel shearing sturdy welded open structure or integral cast steel body, with extremely strong rigidity, and can withstand long-term high-intensity continuous operation. Its short arm makes it difficult to handle the knife, with a wide mouth opening and multiple fixed and adjustable points for the knife holder, ensuring smooth cutting and high flexibility in adjustment.
Horizontal Shear machine hydraulic and power system
Adopting full hydraulic drive, it has the characteristics of small size, light weight, low inertia, low noise, smooth operation, and is easy to achieve overload protection. The equipment can be installed without the need for foot screws, and diesel engines can be flexibly selected as power sources in areas without power supply.
Operation Mode and Intelligent Control of Horizontal Shear Machine
Horizontal Shear machine multi-mode control
The whole machine has both manual and automatic functions, and the operation and control are convenient and simple. Cutting can be started and stopped at any position during the work process, and the size of the cutting port can be controlled according to the size of the material being cut to achieve the highest work efficiency.
Tiger Head Cutting Machine Automated Material Pressing System
Adopting a plate chain material bin or automatic material pressing design, it achieves smooth feeding and effectively avoids the problem of material extrusion and bulging that is prone to occur in traditional feeding mechanisms.
Horizontal Shear machine intelligence and safety protection
The mid to high end models are equipped with PLC intelligent control system, which can achieve semi-automatic continuous operation and greatly reduce manual labor intensity; Simultaneously equipped with multiple safety protection devices such as infrared induction protection, emergency braking, overload protection, etc., supporting remote control start and stop, reducing the safety risks of operators working in close proximity.
Installation and Daily Maintenance Specifications for Horizontal Shear Machine Blades
Blade installation standard
During installation, carefully clean the locking area and use an indicator to measure the deviation of the blade in a 100mm long stroke, which should not exceed 1mm. It can be determined whether the installation is vertical by checking the status of the generated chips (if the chips flow in a filamentous manner to one side or the rounded corners of the blade wear out prematurely, it indicates that the blade is not installed correctly or subjected to uneven force).
Pre operation inspection of horizontal Shear machine
Before use, it is necessary to check the fixing condition of each component, the tightness of the main machine belt, and the lubrication condition of the power machine. After starting up, it should idle for one or two minutes, check the wear of the blades, and confirm that there are no abnormalities before officially putting it into operation.
Maintenance of the hydraulic system of the horizontal Shear machine
If there is high-frequency noise in the overflow valve, it is usually caused by air vibration caused by high-frequency oscillation of the pressure in the front chamber of the pilot valve. It is necessary to check whether air is mixed in the oil and form air pockets, and promptly exhaust or replace the oil.
Wide Application Scenarios
Ideal for large scrap metal recycling yards, steel mills, ship dismantling plants, automobile dismantling factories and construction demolition projects. Automatic Horizontal Shear is widely used for processing various heavy and bulky scraps including waste car shells, shipping container scraps, steel profiles, thick steel plates, steel pipes, rebars and mixed ferrous metal scraps, providing standard furnace-ready raw materials for steel smelting industry.
FAQ
Q: What materials can a Tiger Head Shear cut?
A: Tiger Head Shears can process a wide range of ferrous metals including rebar, round bars, square bars, channels, I-beams, angle irons, steel plates, pipes, structural sections, and scrap automobiles . For non-ferrous applications, some models can handle aluminum, copper profiles, radiators, and even scrap tires.
Q: How does a Tiger Head Shear differ from a standard Alligator Shear?
A: While both use a hinged jaw mechanism, Tiger Head Shears are more powerful (315–630 tons vs 40–250 tons), have longer blades (800–1,500 mm vs 250–700 mm), and are designed for higher throughput in medium-to-large recycling operations. They often feature PLC controls, automatic cycling, and conveyor integration for full automation.
Q: How often do blades need replacement?
A: Blades are typically turnable with 4 cutting edges, significantly extending service life . Replacement intervals depend on material type and throughput. Regular maintenance and proper gap adjustment help maximize blade longevity. We stock replacement blades for all models and can advise on optimal maintenance schedules.
Q: What kind of maintenance is required?
A: Routine maintenance includes:
Cleaning hydraulic oil filters every 6 months (first cleaning within 40 hours)
Checking oil levels regularly (maintain ~220 liters)
Inspecting hydraulic hoses and seals for leaks
Monitoring oil temperature – automatic cooling fan activates at set temperature threshold
Regular blade gap adjustment
