The container shear is a powerful scrap metal processing machine designed to cut, downsize, and prepare large pieces of ferrous and non-ferrous metals for recycling. Featuring a hydraulic shearing system integrated into a containerized structure, it combines high cutting force with easy mobility, making it a perfect choice for scrap yards, recycling facilities, demolition sites, and metal processing plants.
Key Features
1. Mobile and Containerized Design
Built inside a standard container frame, the container shear is easy to transport by truck or trailer. This mobility makes it ideal for on-site metal processing operations.
2. High Cutting Force
Equipped with a powerful hydraulic system, it can generate cutting forces from 400 to 800 tons, capable of shearing beams, pipes, plates, and other large scrap metal pieces.
3. Robust Construction
The heavy-duty steel frame and wear-resistant blades ensure long service life, even under continuous high-load operation.
4. User-Friendly Operation
The PLC control system allows for simple, safe, and precise operation, with options for automatic and manual modes.
5. Versatile Applications
Suitable for cutting scrap steel, rebar, H-beams, car chassis, ship plates, and more.
