Indonesian Scrap Processing Center Boosts Efficiency by 40% with 400-Ton Horizontal Scrap Shear

A leading scrap processing center in Indonesia, serving local steel mills and recycling companies, faced increasing demand as scrap steel supply grew rapidly. Their existing machines could no longer handle the required processing volume. To expand capacity and reduce operating costs, they urgently needed a high-performance Horizontal Scrap Shear Machine capable of handling large and irregular scrap steel efficiently.

During early discussions, the customer highlighted several key requirements:

• Large feeding opening to accommodate irregular scrap materials

• Fast cutting speed to ensure stable performance during peak production periods

• Powerful and stable operation, minimizing downtime and failures

• Uniform cutting sizes for easier packaging, transport, and furnace use

• Compliance with international safety and quality standards, suitable for long-term heavy-duty work

We recommended the Q43-4000 Horizontal Scrap Shear, specifically designed for medium to large-scale scrap recycling operations. This machine offers durability, high efficiency, and energy savings, perfectly aligning with the customer’s operational goals.

Main Technical Parameters:

• Feeding opening size: 3400*2500 mm

• Discharge opening: 1500*400 mm

• Cutting width: 1500 mm

• Cutting speed: 3–4 times/minute

• Motor power: 30 kW * 3

• Operation: Manual feeding with electric control system

After installation and commissioning, the customer reported outstanding performance and benefits:

• Over 40% increase in production efficiency, significantly improving processing capacity

• Uniform cutting size, meeting strict requirements of steel plants for furnace charging

• Stable and reliable operation, with optimized motor power ensuring continuous work without failures

• Easy to operate and maintain, reducing labor costs

The customer emphasized that this Horizontal Scrap Shear Machine has given them a competitive advantage in the local market. They expressed strong willingness to purchase additional units for future projects and to recommend our equipment to industry partners.
