This hydraulic alligator shear delivers a shearing force of 4000 kN and features a 1200 mm blade designed for heavy-duty cutting tasks. The maximum opening reaches 660 mm, allowing large scrap materials to be processed efficiently.

It is capable of cutting round steel bars up to Ø100 mm and square steel up to 90 × 90 mm. The machine is powered by a dual motor system (2 × 30 kW), ensuring strong and stable hydraulic performance.

The equipment is engineered for continuous operation in demanding environments and complies with international quality standards.

The machine operates through a high-pressure hydraulic system that converts electrical energy into powerful mechanical cutting force. Hydraulic oil is pumped into the cylinder, driving the movable blade downward toward the fixed blade.

Scrap metal is placed within the cutting area, and the blade applies strong pressure to shear the material. After completing the cutting cycle, the blade returns automatically to its initial position, preparing for the next operation.

The system is designed for smooth and stable operation, ensuring precise cutting performance. The large opening and strong hydraulic force enable efficient handling of oversized and high-density scrap materials.

The hydraulic alligator shear is built with a robust welded steel frame that ensures structural stability and resistance to deformation under high pressure. The cutting unit consists of a fixed blade and a movable blade made from high-strength alloy steel, ensuring long service life.

The hydraulic system includes high-performance pumps, control valves, cylinders, and pipelines, delivering consistent pressure and efficient energy transfer. The machine is designed for easy operation and maintenance, making it suitable for industrial environments.
