Q43W-8000 Containerized Horizontal Scrap Shear Power 180KW For Industrial Demolition and Dismantling

Product Overview
The Q43W-8000 Container-Type Scrap Metal Shear represents the pinnacle of heavy-duty metal processing equipment. Its name is derived from its iconic, container-like enclosed box structure. This design provides exceptional structural stability and safety, making it the ultimate solution for industries such as scrap metal recycling, end-of-life vehicle (ELV) dismantling, and metal fabrication. With a staggering shearing force of 8000 kN, this machine is engineered to process large-volume, high-strength scrap metal—including heavy-duty steel, beams, car bodies, and metal bales—with maximum efficiency, safety, and profitability.

• Exceptional Shearing Force: A nominal shearing force of 8000 kN easily cuts through the toughest scrap metals, processing heavy materials with ease and significantly outperforming conventional equipment.
• Robust Box Structure: The fully enclosed, box-type gantry frame offers superior overall rigidity, effectively absorbing and distributing shearing stress. This ensures stable, low-noise operation, enhanced safety, and a long service life.
• Large-Scale Processing Capacity: Equipped with 1600mm long blades and a large discharge opening of 1600mm x 450mm, it can handle and process sizable scrap materials, reducing pre-processing needs and increasing overall throughput.
• Optimized Hydraulic System: The high-performance hydraulic station and intelligent control system ensure reliable and stable operation despite the immense power. A consistent cutting frequency of 3-4 times/minute guarantees a continuous and efficient production cycle.
• High Efficiency & Energy Saving: Powered by a 180kW main motor, the system is designed for optimal energy utilization, delivering powerful performance with lower operational costs per ton.
• Intelligent Control & Safety: An optional PLC automation control system and wireless remote control allow for one-person operation of the entire process—feeding, compacting, and shearing—maximizing operator safety.

1. Q1: Why is it called a "Container Shear"? Is it for cutting shipping containers?

   A: No. The name comes from its appearance and structure, which resembles a sturdy, enclosed container box. Its primary purpose is to shear various scrap metals like steel and iron, not the containers themselves. This design offers far greater rigidity and safety than open-frame shears.

2. Q2: What does the discharge size of 1600x450mm mean?

   A: This refers to the theoretical maximum cross-sectional size of the scrap block produced after a single shear. The block can be up to 1600mm wide and 450mm thick. This size allows it to process larger pieces of scrap and produce uniform blocks ideal for transportation and smelting.

3. Q3: Is a cutting frequency of 3-4 times per minute too slow?

   A: The frequency cannot be judged in isolation. Given the machine's immense shearing force (8000 kN), it is designed for heavy or large-volume materials where the weight (tonnage) per shear is very high. This frequency represents the optimal balance for achieving a maximum total tonnage processed, ensuring a complete cut, machine stability, and safety, rather than just pure speed.

4. Q4: Does the equipment require a special foundation?

   A: Yes. Due to the machine's significant weight and powerful operational forces, it must be anchored to a solid concrete foundation to ensure stable operation and long-term safety. Detailed foundation drawings can be provided by our company.
