QSW-800 Hydraulic Scrap Metal Box Shear Machine with 8000kN Cutting Force, PLC

QSW-800 Hydraulic Scrap Metal Box Shear Machine

Product Overview

The QSW-800 hydraulic scrap metal box shear machine is a heavy-duty metal cutting solution designed for efficient processing of mixed scrap steel, long metal offcuts, structural steel waste, and bulky metal materials. With dual shearing cylinders delivering 4000KN × 2 maximum thrust, this machine is built to handle demanding cutting tasks while maintaining stable throughput in recycling yards, metal processing centers, and scrap preparation operations. It combines hydraulic power, PLC automatic control, and remote operation to support safer and more efficient scrap handling.

Applications

This 800-ton class box shear is suitable for a wide range of metal recycling and processing scenarios, including:

• Scrap metal recycling plants
• Steel service centers
• Vehicle dismantling yards
• Industrial fabrication scrap recovery
• Structural steel offcut processing
• Pre-furnace scrap preparation for steel mills

It is especially suitable for operations handling long, irregular, or heavy ferrous scrap that needs to be cut into furnace-ready lengths.

Core Advantages

• High shearing force: Dual shearing cylinders provide strong cutting output for thick and dense scrap.
• Stable throughput: Rated production capacity reaches 9–12 t/h for continuous recycling operations.
• Large feeding port: The 2600 × 1600 mm chamber helps process larger scrap sections with fewer loading interruptions.
• Automatic control: PLC automatic control with remote control improves ease of operation.
• Broad cutting capability: Suitable for round steel, square steel, angle steel, and I-beams within the listed range.
• Industrial cooling support: Equipped with oil cooling / water cooler configuration to support hydraulic system stability.

How It Works

The machine works by loading scrap metal into the large feed box, where the material is positioned and compressed by the clamping system. The hydraulic shearing cylinders then apply powerful cutting force to shear the scrap into shorter sections. The PLC control system coordinates the clamping, shearing, and cycle timing, while the operator can manage the process through automatic control and remote control operation. This workflow helps reduce manual handling and improves cutting consistency across repeated cycles.

How To Choose

Choose the QSW-800 box shear if your operation needs:

• Higher throughput than small or mid-size scrap shears
• Processing of long and bulky ferrous scrap
• A larger feed opening for more convenient loading
• Automatic control instead of purely manual cutting cycles
• A machine capable of handling structural profiles such as angle steel and I-beams

If your material is mostly light scrap with lower daily output demand, a smaller machine may be more economical. If you regularly handle heavy steel profiles and need continuous production, the QSW-800 is the stronger fit.

What Problem It Solves

This machine solves several common bottlenecks in scrap metal processing:

• Scrap pieces are too long for transport or furnace charging
• Manual cutting is slow and labor-intensive
• Irregular steel scrap is hard to size consistently
• Small shears cannot handle larger structural scrap efficiently
• Low throughput causes stockpile buildup in busy yards

By combining strong shearing force, a large chamber, and automated control, the QSW-800 helps recyclers turn bulky scrap into manageable, transportable, and furnace-ready material faster.
