Technical Specifications

This hydraulic alligator shear delivers a maximum shearing force of 1200 kN and a holding force of 80 kN, ensuring stable and precise cutting performance during operation.

The machine is equipped with an 800 mm blade length and operates at a frequency of 9–20 cutting cycles per minute, allowing efficient processing of various scrap materials. It supports cutting round materials up to Ø45 mm and square materials up to 40 × 40 mm.

Powered by a 15 kW motor, the system provides reliable and energy-efficient operation. The machine supports manual feeding with either manual control or PLC semi-automatic operation, offering flexibility for different working environments.

Working Principle

The hydraulic alligator shear operates by using a hydraulic cylinder to drive a moving blade against a fixed blade, generating a strong shearing force to cut metal materials.

Scrap materials are placed between the blades, and the hydraulic system applies pressure to complete the cutting process. The holding force ensures the material remains stable during cutting, improving precision and safety.

The system operates in repeated cycles, with adjustable frequency allowing operators to balance speed and cutting performance based on material type and thickness.

Machine Structure

The machine is constructed with a reinforced steel frame designed for durability and stability under heavy-duty working conditions. The blade assembly is made of high-strength, wear-resistant materials to ensure long service life.

The hydraulic system consists of reliable cylinders, pumps, and valves, providing consistent power output and efficient performance. The holding mechanism enhances cutting accuracy by stabilizing materials during operation.

The control system supports both manual and semi-automatic modes, ensuring ease of operation and adaptability to different production requirements.

How to Choose the Right Machine

Selecting the right alligator shear depends on the size, type, and volume of materials you need to process.

A 1200 kN machine is ideal for medium-duty applications requiring higher cutting force than entry-level models. If your materials include thicker steel bars or structural scrap, a higher cutting capacity such as Ø45 mm is recommended.

The blade length should match your material dimensions, while adjustable cutting frequency allows optimization of productivity. Choosing the right configuration ensures long-term efficiency and cost savings.
