Product Specification

6000 kN Hydraulic Alligator Shear with 1200 mm Blade Length and High-Speed Cutting for Heavy Scrap Steel Processing

Product Overview

The 6000 kN hydraulic alligator shear is designed for heavy-duty scrap metal processing, especially suitable for recycling yards, steel plants, and ship dismantling operations. This machine is widely used to cut various types of ferrous materials, including steel bars, rebar, structural steel, pipes, and mixed heavy scrap.

With a powerful cutting force of 6000 kN and a robust blade length of 1200 mm, the machine can efficiently handle large and dense materials. It is particularly effective in applications where oversized scrap needs to be reduced into furnace-ready sizes, improving melting efficiency and reducing transportation costs.

The machine adopts a stable hydraulic system combined with a reinforced shear body structure, ensuring long-term operation under high-load conditions. It can be operated through manual control or PLC automatic mode, depending on customer requirements.

  Reinforced frame ensures durability and stability during continuous operation.

• Efficient Hydraulic System

  Provides stable pressure output and smooth cutting performance.

• Flexible Operation Modes

  Available with manual valve control or PLC automatic system.

• High Cutting Efficiency

  Typical cutting speed of 2–3 cuts per minute, improving productivity.

• Low Maintenance Design

  Easy blade replacement and simplified hydraulic system maintenance.

Technical Specifications (Integrated Description)

This 6000 kN alligator shear is equipped with a 1200 mm high-strength cutting blade and operates under a hydraulic pressure of approximately 25 MPa. The machine delivers a cutting frequency of around 2 to 3 strokes per minute, ensuring a balance between power and efficiency.

The motor power is typically configured around 75–90 kW, depending on customization requirements. It is capable of handling a wide range of materials such as steel bars up to 80–100 mm in diameter, steel plates, pipes, and structural scrap.

The machine structure is designed to support continuous heavy-duty operation, making it suitable for medium to large-scale recycling facilities.

Working Principle

The hydraulic alligator shear operates through a hydraulic-driven cutting mechanism. Scrap material is placed into the feeding area, where the upper blade moves downward powered by hydraulic cylinders.

The fixed lower blade works together with the moving upper blade to create a strong shearing force, cutting the material into smaller pieces. The hydraulic system ensures consistent pressure throughout the cutting process, allowing for clean and efficient cuts even on dense materials.

The machine can be integrated into a production line or used as a standalone unit depending on operational needs.

Application Scenarios

This 6000 kN alligator shear is widely used in:

• Scrap metal recycling yards

• Steel mills and foundries

• Ship dismantling plants

• Metal processing workshops

• Construction waste recycling facilities

It is especially suitable for processing oversized scrap that cannot be directly fed into furnaces.
