Steel Processing 12,500kN Gantry Metal Shear For Large Scrap Recycling

Product Description:

1. Core Overview:
Redefining industrial efficiency, the Q43L-12500L Gantry Type Scrap Shear is engineered for large-scale scrap processing facilities demanding unparalleled performance. With its iconic gantry structure, this machine delivers exceptional stability and massive material throughput, designed to effortlessly slice through end-of-life vehicles, shipping containers, large metal structures, and dense scrap bales. Boasting a staggering 12,500 kN cutting force, it tears through the toughest metals with ease, making it the ultimate investment for boosting productivity and reducing operational costs.

2. Key Features & Benefits:

• Unmatched Cutting Force:
  A crushing 12,500 kN cutting force positions this shear as a top-tier solution in global scrap recycling, capable of processing the thickest and most resilient metals.

• Colossal Loading Chamber:
  The massive 8,000 × 2,000 × 1,400 mm chamber allows entire car bodies, large scrap bundles, or bulky structural components to be loaded in a single cycle, minimizing feeding time and maximizing output per shift.

• Gantry-Type Structure:
  The gantry design ensures superior rigidity and stability, minimizing deformation under extreme force. This extends blade life, enhances cutting accuracy, and provides ample space for maintenance.

• Intelligent PLC Control:
  Equipped with an advanced PLC automatic control system, the shear enables one-touch operation, fault self-diagnosis, and cycle counting. Operators can automate feeding, clamping, cutting, and return cycles with minimal intervention.

• Robust Hydraulic System:
  Operating at 22 MPa with an integrated air cooling system, the hydraulic unit maintains optimal oil temperature during prolonged heavy-duty operation, eliminating downtime due to overheating.

• Built for Durability:
  Weighing 130,000 kg, the shear features over-engineered components—blade frames, cylinder blocks, and chambers—reinforced for 24/7 operation in the most demanding environments.

Why Choose Our Gantry Shear? (FAQ)

Q: What are the advantages of a gantry shear compared to a standard alligator shear?
A: The benefits are significant:

1. Larger chamber for processing extra-long and wide materials without pre-cutting, drastically improving efficiency.

2. Enhanced structural stability reduces blade misalignment during heavy cuts, extending blade life.

3. Ample maintenance space allows engineers to easily access internal components for servicing.

Q: Does the 376 kW power rating imply high energy consumption?
A: This is a common misconception. The high power output ensures the shear delivers rated force during cutting cycles. Since the machine operates intermittently (2–3 cycles/minute) and the PLC system intelligently manages motor activity, actual energy consumption is optimized for high output per kWh.

Q: Does the machine require a special foundation?
A: Yes. Given its 130-ton weight and high-impact operation, a reinforced concrete foundation tailored to our specifications is essential for long-term stability and safety. We provide detailed foundation drawings.

Q: Can you provide operational videos?
A: Absolutely. We have real-world videos of this model operating in customer facilities, demonstrating full-cycle processing from loading to cutting. Contact us to request footage.
