Heavy Duty Hydraulic Gantry Shear for Scrap Steel

• A high-pressure hydraulic system (31.5 MPa) drives a massive upper blade downward with 800 tons of force

• Material is placed on the lower fixed blade and held in position by a hydraulic clamp (optional, strongly recommended for thick material)

• The upper blade descends, shearing the material cleanly in a single stroke

• Hydraulic return raises the blade, ready for the next cut within 12–18 seconds

• 800-ton shearing force exceeds the tensile strength of any commercially available structural steel profile

• 1,600mm blade provides full-width cut across large material cross-sections without repositioning

• Cr12MoV upper and lower blades with 4 cutting edges per blade set — rotate to expose fresh edge when worn, maximizing blade utilization

• Pre-compression hydraulic clamp prevents material movement during cutting for accurate, clean shear faces

• Proportional hydraulic valve control for precise blade speed adjustment — slower speed for thick material, faster for thin

• All hydraulic components from internationally recognized suppliers (Bosch Rexroth, Parker, or equivalent)

• Heavy welded steel frame: stress-relieved after welding, machined mounting surfaces for blade precision alignment

• PLC control with stroke counter, hydraulic temperature monitor, and blade wear alert

• Safety: dual-hand control, light curtain, emergency stop on all four sides
