Smaller models like Q43-630 handle materials up to ⌀30mm with 7.5kW power; mid-size models such as Q43-2000 process ⌀65mm materials with 22kW power; flagship model Q43-6000 features dual-motor drive with 90kW total power, capable of shearing ⌀105mm large round bars.
The series employs heavy-duty construction with high-strength blades and intelligent hydraulic systems, suitable for scrap metal recycling, steel processing, and other industrial applications.
Ideal for various metal recycling operations, this equipment provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for metal processing needs. Its combination of performance and economical operation makes it a preferred choice in the industry.
Q1: What materials is the alligator shear suitable for processing?
A: It is specifically designed for processing metal scrap, and can efficiently cut rebar, structural steel, non-ferrous metals, automotive scrap, and metal pipes. It is not recommended for ultra-high hardness materials (such as quenched steel) or non-metallic materials.
Q2: What routine maintenance does the equipment require?
A: Regularly check the hydraulic oil level and cleanliness, inspect blade wear, and lubricate moving parts. It is recommended to replace the hydraulic oil filter every 500 hours of operation and change the hydraulic oil every 2,000 hours.
Q3: What safety precautions should be taken during operation?
A: Ensure all protective guards are intact before operation. Never place hands near the cutting area. The equipment is equipped with two-hand operation buttons and infrared light curtains. Press the emergency stop button immediately in case of abnormalities.
Q4: How long is the blade lifespan? How to replace it?
A: Blade lifespan depends on usage frequency and material hardness, typically capable of cutting thousands of tons of material. To replace, first disconnect the power supply, use specialized tools to remove the bolts, and adjust the gap of the new blade to the standard value.
Q5: What is the power consumption? Does it require a special power supply?
A: Standard models use 380V industrial power. The rated power varies depending on the model. No special power supply is needed, but ensure stable voltage and proper grounding protection.
Q6: Can the blade size or cutting angle be customized?
A: Customization services are available. Parameters such as blade width and cutting angle can be adjusted based on specific process requirements.
