Scrap Metal Alligator Shear

A Scrap Metal Alligator Shear is a hydraulic cutting machine designed to shear light and medium-sized scrap metals into smaller, manageable pieces. It features a hinged cutting blade structure similar to an alligator’s jaw, which is why it is commonly referred to as an “alligator shear.”

This type of scrap metal cutting machine is widely used in recycling yards, metal processing plants, and dismantling operations. It improves material handling efficiency, reduces transportation costs, and increases the recycling value of metal waste.

• Powered by a hydraulic system for strong and stable cutting force
• Suitable for cutting steel, aluminum, copper, and other non-ferrous metals
• Commonly used for processing bars, pipes, profiles, and light scrap materials

As a key piece of equipment in the metal recycling industry, the Scrap Metal Alligator Shear plays an essential role in improving operational efficiency and resource recovery.

Applications

• Scrap metal recycling yards
• Steel and aluminum processing plants
• Automotive dismantling industry
• Foundries and metallurgy industry
• Waste management and recycling centers

Materials It Can Cut

• Steel bars and rebar
• Aluminum profiles
• Copper wires and pipes
• Metal sheets and light scrap
• Round bars and structural metals

Working Principle

The hydraulic alligator shear operates through a powerful hydraulic system that drives the cutting blade via a cylinder. The upper blade moves downward to shear scrap metal against a fixed lower blade, ensuring stable and efficient cutting performance.

• Hydraulic cylinder provides strong cutting force
• Stable structure ensures continuous operation
• Fast cutting cycle improves productivity
