Q43-1200 120 Ton Hydraulic Alligator Shear with 800mm Blade Length, Ø45mm

Product Overview

The Q43-1200 hydraulic alligator shear is a medium-duty scrap cutting machine designed for metal recycling yards, steel processing workshops, and scrap preparation stations.

With a shearing force of 1200 kN and an 800 mm blade length, this model efficiently cuts round steel bars up to Ø45 mm or square steel up to 40 × 40 mm. The high cutting frequency of 9–20 strokes per minute ensures efficient scrap size reduction before baling, melting, or transportation.

The Q43-1200 is widely used as a front-end cutting solution in medium-scale recycling operations where consistent cutting performance and operational reliability are required.

Specifications

Core Engineering Advantages

1200 kN Hydraulic Shearing Force

The powerful hydraulic system provides stable cutting performance for medium-thickness steel materials including round bars, square steel, and fabrication offcuts.
The high shearing force ensures efficient cutting while maintaining blade stability and long service life.

800 mm Heavy-Duty Blade Length

The extended blade length allows operators to process longer scrap pieces in a single cut, improving cutting efficiency and reducing handling time.

The blade is manufactured from high-strength alloy steel to ensure durability under continuous industrial operation.

High Cutting Frequency (9–20 Cuts Per Minute)

The optimized hydraulic circuit enables a cutting speed of up to 20 strokes per minute.
This significantly increases processing efficiency in recycling yards with continuous scrap intake.

Scrap Cutting Capacity up to Ø45 mm

The machine is capable of cutting:

• Round steel bars up to Ø45 mm

• Square steel bars up to 40 × 40 mm

This cutting range covers most medium scrap materials commonly generated in industrial workshops and construction recycling.

Reliable 15 kW Hydraulic Power System

The 15 kW motor provides stable hydraulic pressure while maintaining energy-efficient operation.
The balanced power configuration ensures long-term reliability with reduced operating costs.

Flexible Control Options

The Q43-1200 supports multiple operation modes:

• Manual feeding with manual control

• PLC semi-automatic control (optional)

This flexibility allows users to select the most suitable configuration for their production environment.

Typical Materials Processed

The Q43-1200 hydraulic shear is suitable for processing:

• Round steel bars

• Square steel bars

• Rebar offcuts

• Light structural steel

• Metal fabrication scrap

• Construction steel waste

It is designed for medium scrap cutting and pre-processing before further recycling operations.

Industrial Value & Operational Benefits

By reducing scrap size before baling or furnace charging, the Q43-1200 improves scrap handling efficiency and reduces manual cutting labor.

The machine also enhances transportation efficiency by allowing scrap materials to be processed into manageable lengths suitable for downstream recycling processes.

Line Integration Capability

The Q43-1200 can operate independently or be integrated into scrap processing systems including:

• Scrap pre-cutting stations

• Metal recycling preparation lines

• Scrap yard material sorting areas

• Pre-processing units before hydraulic balers

Its compact design allows flexible installation in different facility layouts.

Application Fields

The Q43-1200 hydraulic alligator shear is widely used in:

• Metal recycling yards

• Steel processing workshops

• Construction scrap recovery sites

• Fabrication plants

• Industrial metal recycling facilities

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can the Q43-1200 cut?
The machine can cut round steel up to Ø45 mm and square steel up to 40 × 40 mm, making it suitable for most medium-size scrap materials.

Is PLC control necessary?
PLC control is optional. Manual control is sufficient for most scrap yards, while PLC improves operational efficiency in continuous processing environments.

How often should the blades be replaced?
Blade lifespan depends on material hardness and usage frequency. Under normal operating conditions, blades can be used for extended periods before replacement.

Can the machine operate continuously?
Yes, the Q43-1200 is designed for continuous medium-duty industrial operation.
