Q43-2500 250 Ton Hydraulic Alligator Scrap Metal Shear (Q43-2500) with 1000 mm Blade Length, Ø80 mm Cutting Capacity and 30 kW Power for Heavy Scrap Yard Processing

Q43-2500 250 Ton Hydraulic Alligator Scrap Metal Shear (Q43-2500) with 1000 mm Blade Length, Ø80 mm Cutting Capacity and 30 kW Power for Heavy Scrap Yard Processing

Product Overview

The Q43-2500 hydraulic alligator shear is a heavy-duty scrap cutting machine designed for medium-to-large scrap yards, steel processing facilities, and industrial recycling plants.

With a shearing force of 2500 kN, a 1000 mm blade length, and a maximum blade opening of 480 mm, the machine efficiently cuts large steel bars, rebar bundles, and structural scrap into manageable sizes for recycling or further processing.

Capable of cutting round steel up to Ø80 mm or square steel up to 70 * 70 mm, the Q43-2500 provides reliable performance in demanding scrap processing environments.

Core Engineering Advantages

Powerful 2500 kN Hydraulic Shearing Force

The high-capacity hydraulic system provides strong cutting capability suitable for medium and heavy scrap materials.
This ensures efficient shearing of thick steel bars and structural metal pieces while maintaining consistent cutting performance.

Large Blade Opening – 480 mm

The large blade opening allows the machine to process irregular and oversized scrap materials.
Operators can easily feed different shapes of metal without excessive pre-cutting, improving overall working efficiency.

Industrial-Grade 1000 mm Blade Length

The extended blade length allows longer metal pieces to be cut in a single operation.
The blades are made of high-strength alloy steel designed to maintain sharpness and durability during continuous industrial use.

High Cutting Frequency – 12–20 Cuts per Minute

The optimized hydraulic system enables fast cutting cycles of up to 20 strokes per minute, significantly improving daily processing capacity in busy scrap yards.

Strong Scrap Cutting Capacity

The Q43-2500 can efficiently process various metal materials including:

• Round steel bars up to Ø80 mm

• Square steel bars up to 70 * 70 mm

• Rebar bundles

• Light structural steel

• Industrial metal offcuts

This cutting range covers most heavy scrap materials commonly found in recycling facilities.

Reliable 30 kW Hydraulic Power System

The machine uses a 30 kW motor to provide stable hydraulic pressure and consistent performance.

This balanced power configuration supports long-term industrial operation while maintaining energy efficiency.

Flexible Operation Modes

The Q43-2500 offers multiple operation options:

• Manual feeding with manual control

• Manual feeding with PLC semi-automatic control

PLC configuration improves operational efficiency and enhances operator safety during high-volume cutting operations.

Technical Specifications
