HYDRAULIC SCRAP METAL SHEAR
Hydraulic Alligator Shear for Faster Scrap Sizing and Metal Cleaning
Cut long, irregular and oversized metal scrap into manageable pieces with a hydraulic shear selected around your actual material — not around a generic cutting-force number.
Built for scrap yards, metal recyclers, dismantling operations, foundries and processing facilities that need a practical way to clean, separate and reduce metal scrap before sorting, transport, baling, melting or downstream processing.

IS THIS THE RIGHT MACHINE?
Is an Alligator Shear the Right Machine for Your Operation?
An alligator shear is selected for cutting, cleaning and sizing individual pieces of scrap metal. It is most useful when the material is too long, too irregular or too difficult to handle in its current form.
THE REAL COST OF OVERSIZED SCRAP
Oversized Scrap Creates More Than a Cutting Problem
Long pipes, cable bundles, valves, profiles, radiators and mixed metal components are difficult to store, move and process efficiently. When incoming scrap cannot be handled in its original form, operators spend excessive time repositioning material, using hand tools or preparing pieces for the next machine.
What This Costs You Every Day

BEFORE → AFTER
Long, irregular and angled scrap creates handling and production problems. Uniformly cut scrap improves handling and downstream efficiency.
HOW THE MACHINE SHOULD BE CHOSEN
A Scrap Shear Selected Around the Material You Actually Process
Choosing an alligator shear by advertised tonnage alone leads to the wrong machine. Two pieces of scrap with similar outside dimensions can require very different cutting performance.
Why Similar-Looking Scrap Cuts Differently
MATERIALS AND APPLICATIONS
What Can an Alligator Shear Process?
Actual cutting capacity depends on the selected model, material grade, geometry and cutting position. The lists below describe evaluation scope, not guaranteed capacity.
BEFORE YOU LOAD ANYTHING
Do Not Assume That Every Metal Object Can Be Cut Safely
The following material requires specific evaluation, or must not be processed at all without an approved procedure. Never cut a sealed or pressurised item simply because it fits inside the jaw.
The operator must identify, depressurise, drain and prepare material according to applicable local procedures before cutting.

ALLIGATOR SHEAR MODELS
Which Alligator Shear Configuration Do You Need?
The range is organised by blade length, jaw opening, cutting force, cycle speed and working duty. Confirm the final configuration against your own material before ordering.
MODEL COMPARISON
Compare the Available Configurations
Published capacity always refers to a specified material grade, shape and cutting position.
COMPARING MACHINES CORRECTLY
A Larger Tonnage Number Does Not Automatically Mean a Better Machine
Cutting force matters, but it does not describe complete cutting performance. Evaluate these six factors together.
HOW IT WORKS
Controlled Hydraulic Cutting in a Compact Workstation
The hydraulic system moves the upper shear arm toward the fixed blade, and the blades apply concentrated shearing force until the material separates.

Operator working position, hold-down device and cutting area during a normal cycle.
Typical Operating Sequence
MACHINE DESIGN
Designed Around the Parts That Affect Daily Operation
Cutting performance, running cost and uptime are decided by these six areas. Ask for a close-up photograph of each one before you order.
SAFETY MUST BE EVALUATED BEFORE PRICE
Judge the Complete Safety System, Not the Blade Size
An alligator shear combines high hydraulic force, exposed material and a cutting point the operator has to approach during loading. Stored hydraulic energy must be released before maintenance, blade adjustment or jam removal.
The purchaser is responsible for ensuring the machine is installed, guarded, operated and maintained according to applicable local law, site risk assessments and operating procedures. Operators must be trained before use.
CHOOSE BY PROCESSING OBJECTIVE
Alligator Shear vs Other Scrap Machines
An alligator shear is not intended to replace every cutting or size-reduction machine. It is most valuable when you repeatedly need to clean, separate or shorten individual scrap items in a controlled workstation.
OPERATIONAL BENEFITS
Build a More Consistent Scrap Preparation Process
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
MAS-630 Standard Alligator Shear Technical Data
Specifications are subject to the final machine configuration. Cutting capacity depends on material grade, hardness, shape, wall thickness, cutting position and blade condition, and all critical values are confirmed in the final technical agreement.
FACTORY QUALITY CONTROL
Verify the Machine Before It Leaves the Factory
Each machine is inspected against the agreed technical specification before shipment. Ask for the inspection record, not only a finished-machine photograph.

Cut samples from a recorded material test. Ask for the test video that matches your own scrap rather than a general product video.
