QSW-800 Hydraulic Metal Box Shear for High-Capacity Scrap Reduction

Product Overview

The QSW-800 hydraulic metal box shear is a production-oriented scrap cutting machine built for buyers who need a combination of strong shearing force, practical feeding size, and stable daily processing capacity. If your business needs to convert bulky steel scrap into transportable and furnace-ready sections, this machine offers a clear industrial solution with high thrust, automatic control, and 9–12 t/h output potential.

Applications

This machine is commonly considered by:

• Scrap recycling companies
• Steel scrap exporters
• Metal recovery contractors
• Fabrication plants handling steel offcuts
• Steel mills sourcing pre-cut scrap
• Industrial waste metal processors

Core Advantages

• Heavy-duty shearing capacity for demanding scrap profiles
• Large feed box for easier handling of irregular materials
• Automated PLC operation to reduce operator burden
• Wide material adaptation across common steel sections
• 165kW total power for industrial production needs
• Remote control operation for improved convenience and site handling flexibility

How It Works

Material is loaded into the chamber and secured by the clamping system. The hydraulic shear then cuts the scrap to the required size using high-force cylinders. The machine repeats this process in an automated cycle controlled by PLC, which supports production continuity and simplifies repetitive cutting operations. For buyers evaluating productivity, the combination of chamber size, thrust, and automation is what makes the machine suitable for higher-volume yards.

How To Choose

When comparing scrap box shears, buyers should focus on:

1. Material size and type — Are you cutting mixed scrap, profile steel, or lighter loose scrap?
2. Hourly output requirement — Does your yard need around 10 t/h class processing?
3. Loading convenience — Is the feed opening large enough for your scrap form?
4. Power and installation conditions — Can your facility support 165kW?
5. Automation level — Do you want PLC operation and remote control for more efficient cycles?

If these points match your project conditions, QSW-800 is a strong candidate.

What Problem It Solves

From a purchasing perspective, the main problem this machine solves is inefficient scrap size reduction. Without a box shear of sufficient force and chamber size, recyclers often face:

• slower manual or semi-manual cutting,
• reduced loading efficiency,
• higher handling cost,
• irregular scrap dimensions,
• and limited readiness for transport or steelmaking use.

The QSW-800 addresses these with a more industrialized cutting process.

FAQ

The file lists round steel, square steel, angle steel, and I-beams within defined dimensions.

Q3: Is this machine suitable for export projects?
The document includes customizable power specifications, which is useful for different markets.

Q4: What is the delivery cycle?
The parameter sheet states about 55 days manufacturing plus 5 days repeated testing.

Q5: What is the quoted trade term in the file?
The file states USD 86000/SET FOB Shanghai, valid to Apr. 30 in that quotation.

How the QSW-800 Scrap Box Shear Improves Heavy Scrap Cutting Efficiency

Product Overview

The QSW-800 hydraulic scrap metal box shearing machine is designed for businesses that need to cut oversized metal scrap into shorter, manageable sections quickly and reliably. Instead of relying on slow cutting methods or struggling with bulky structural scrap, operators can use this machine to achieve a more consistent hydraulic cutting process supported by PLC automation and strong cylinder force.

Applications

This machine is used where scrap size reduction is a daily challenge, such as:

• Mixed scrap yards
• Steel profile recycling facilities
• Metal dismantling stations
• Fabrication waste processing workshops
• Furnace scrap preparation lines

Core Advantages

• Cuts heavy scrap with 4000KN × 2 shearing thrust
• Handles larger scrap loads with 2600 × 1600 mm feeding port
• Supports repeated production with 9–12 t/h output
• Covers multiple steel profile types
• Uses automatic PLC control for easier operation
• Equipped with remote control for better handling convenience

How It Works

The operator loads metal scrap into the chamber. The clamping cylinder secures the material, and the hydraulic shearing cylinders drive the blade system to cut the scrap. Once one cycle is completed, the PLC system controls the next steps, allowing repeated operation with a more standardized process. This design is meant to improve cycle repeatability and reduce the inefficiency of irregular manual cutting.

Specifications

• Hydraulic pressure: ≤25.0MPa
• Shear speed: 2–3 times/min
• Output: 9–12t/h
• Total power: 165kW
• Cut length: 1600 × 400 mm
• Round steel: Φ160 mm
• Square steel: 130 × 130 mm
• Angle steel: 250 × 250 × 15 mm
• I-beam: 340 × 132 × 15 mm
• Tank capacity: 5200 liters
• Machine dimensions: 6300 × 2750 × 2650 mm

How To Choose

You should consider this model if your current operation suffers from:

• scrap piling up faster than it can be cut,
• long scrap pieces taking up too much yard space,
• low transport efficiency due to oversized material,
• inability to process profile steel efficiently,
• or inconsistent cutting size from manual methods.

If these are your headache, a high-force hydraulic box shear becomes a practical production upgrade.

What Problem It Solves

This machine primarily solves the problem of unmanageable heavy scrap. Oversized steel scrap is difficult to store, transport, sell, or charge into a furnace. Small machines may lack chamber size or cutting force. The QSW-800 addresses this by providing large material access, strong hydraulic cutting power, and automatic cycle control so scrap can be reduced more efficiently and prepared for the next commercial or metallurgical step.

FAQ

Q1: Why does chamber size matter in a scrap box shear?
A larger feeding port allows bigger and more irregular scrap to be loaded more easily, reducing preprocessing and manual rearrangement. The QSW-800 uses a 2600 × 1600 mm opening.

Q2: Is this machine only for light scrap?
No. The listed cutting range shows suitability for several steel section types, including larger profiles.

Q3: What control system does it use?
The sheet specifies PLC automatic control with remote control.

Q4: What helps protect hydraulic stability?
The machine includes an oil cooling / water cooling arrangement in the provided specification sheet.

Q5: What kind of facility is this model best for?
It fits facilities needing medium-to-high scrap processing capacity with heavier and bulkier materials. This is based on the thrust, chamber size, and throughput listed in the file.
