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.

  • Cut ferrous and non-ferrous scrap into easier-to-handle sizes
  • Blade length, jaw opening and cutting force matched to your feed material
  • Process bars, pipes, profiles, cable, valves and mixed metal scrap
  • Hydraulic operation for controlled cutting and repeatable daily work
  • Voltage and control configurations for different operating requirements
  • Factory testing and export packing before shipment

Tell us the material, the maximum dimensions and the expected daily volume. We identify a suitable configuration before preparing the quotation.

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.

Scrap Yards

Process mixed and heavy scrap.

Recyclers

Increase throughput and reduce size.

Dismantlers

Cut beams, pipes and structures.

Foundries

Prepare charge material.

Metal Processors

Feed downstream lines efficiently.

TYPICAL BUYERS

Who Buys This Machine

  • Scrap metal yards and metal collection companies
  • Non-ferrous metal recyclers
  • Cable and wire processors
  • Radiator recycling businesses
  • Motor and transformer dismantlers
  • Automotive dismantling facilities
  • Foundries and metal recovery plants
  • Steel and aluminium processing workshops
  • Demolition material recyclers

TYPICAL OBJECTIVES

What Buyers Want to Achieve

  • Shorten long scrap for easier handling
  • Separate valuable metal sections from attachments
  • Remove fittings, ends or contaminated portions
  • Prepare scrap for sorting or downstream equipment
  • Reduce the space occupied by irregular material
  • Produce pieces suitable for bins, balers or furnaces
  • Replace slower manual cutting methods where appropriate
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

  • Slow material preparation
  • Inconsistent scrap sizes
  • Difficult loading and storage
  • More manual handling
  • Bottlenecks before sorting or baling
  • Valuable metal left attached to low-value components
  • Excessive dependence on flame cutting
  • Increased safety exposure from improvised cutting
Long irregular scrap before cutting and uniform cut pieces after shearing placeholder

BEFORE → AFTER

Long, irregular and angled scrap creates handling and production problems. Uniformly cut scrap improves handling and downstream efficiency.

The Objective Is Not Simply to Cut Metal

The real objective is a controlled, repeatable preparation step that fits the rest of your operation. A properly selected alligator shear lets operators reduce and clean individual pieces before the material moves to the next process.

Send one photo of your most difficult material. That is usually enough to start a practical technical discussion.

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

  • Material grade and hardness
  • Wall thickness
  • Solid or hollow construction
  • Cross-sectional shape
  • Cutting position along the blade
  • Number of layers in the cut
  • Distance from the blade pivot
  • Required jaw opening
  • Required blade contact length

WHAT WE ASK FOR

A Photo Beats a Description

A photo with a ruler or tape measure beside the material is far more useful than a general description such as “steel scrap” or “copper cable”.

  • Material type
  • Maximum diameter or cross-section
  • Maximum material width
  • Daily processing volume
  • Local voltage and frequency
  • Photos or video of the actual scrap
Material Type

Strength, hardness and composition.

Cross-Section

Shape and wall thickness.

Maximum Size

Length, width and dimensions.

Cutting Position

Throat cutting or tip cutting.

Daily Volume

Tonnage and duty cycle.

Downstream Process

Sorting, baling, shredding or melting.

MATERIALS AND APPLICATIONS

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.

Never Cut Without an Approved Procedure

  • Sealed containers and gas cylinders
  • Pressurised vessels
  • Fuel tanks with unknown contents
  • Shock absorbers or cylinders under pressure
  • Explosive or chemically contaminated components
  • Batteries
  • Ammunition or explosive material
  • Anything holding enclosed liquid or gas

Requires Technical Review First

  • Hardened tool steel
  • High-alloy steel
  • Railway track
  • Large structural beams
  • Oversized castings
  • Unknown composite assemblies

  • Thick-wall pipe
  • Square bar
  • Irregular castings
  • Material positioned at the blade tip
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.

Cutting Force

Force must suit the material and cross-section.

Blade Length

Longer blades give more working area for wide items.

Jaw Opening

Material must fit safely before it can be cut.

Force Distribution

Cutting at the throat differs from cutting at the tip.

Blade Condition

Worn blades or wrong clearance reduce cut quality.

Cycle Speed

Dry cycle time is not the same as real production.

Buyer recommendation: compare machines using your actual material, your operating method and your daily workload — not one headline number.

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.

Industrial worker inspecting machinery

Operator working position, hold-down device and cutting area during a normal cycle.

Typical Operating Sequence

  • Inspect and identify the material
  • Confirm that the material is safe to cut
  • Position the material in the approved cutting area
  • Secure it with the hold-down system
  • Activate the cutting cycle
  • Keep clear of the blade and moving material
  • Allow the blade to return
  • Remove or reposition the material
  • Continue until the required piece size is reached

SUITABLE DOWNSTREAM STEPS

Where the Cut Material Goes Next

  • Manual sorting
  • Loading into bins
  • Baling
  • Shredding
  • Granulation
  • Stripping
  • Melting
  • Packing for transport
  • Sale as a cleaner scrap grade

OPERATOR REQUIREMENT

Trained Operators Only

Every step above assumes a trained operator following the supplied manual and the site risk assessment. Material identification is part of the operating procedure, not an optional check.

Operation, maintenance, electrical and hydraulic documentation is supplied with the machine and can be reviewed before the order is confirmed.

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.

Heavy welded machine frame fabrication

Hydraulic Cutting System

Controlled blade movement and high cutting force in a compact structure. Configuration follows required force, cycle frequency, ambient temperature, motor power, tank capacity, cooling and local supply.

Industrial cutting equipment processing steel material

Replaceable Cutting Blades

Blades are wear components. Depending on the model they are replaceable, reversible, regrindable and supported by adjustable clearance and a protected lower blade seat.

Factory assembly of hydraulic machinery

Material Hold-Down System

Scrap can move, lift or kick during cutting. Mechanical, hydraulic or automatically sequenced hold-down devices control the workpiece while the cut completes.

Hydraulic scrap shear configuration placeholder

Adjustable Jaw Opening

Adapts the machine to different material sizes, limits unnecessary blade travel, shortens the working stroke and improves control of the working area.

Machine factory interior

Heavy Welded Machine Body

The frame resists repeated cutting loads while keeping blade alignment. Evaluate plate thickness, reinforcement at the pivot and cutting head, welding quality, blade seat alignment and cylinder mounting.

Industrial worker inspecting machinery

Operator Controls

Foot pedal or push-button control, single or repeating cycle, emergency stop, main isolator, key-controlled modes, stroke adjustment and interlock monitoring.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM — QUESTIONS TO ASK

Verify the Hydraulics Before You Buy

  • What is the rated system pressure?
  • Which components are used in the circuit?
  • Is oil cooling required for my duty cycle?
  • How is pressure checked?
  • Are replacement seals and filters included?
  • What maintenance interval is recommended?

BLADE INFORMATION TO REQUEST

Blade Life Decides Running Cost

  • Blade material and hardness
  • Number of usable cutting edges
  • Blade dimensions
  • Recommended blade clearance
  • Regrinding limit
  • Spare blade availability and price

A blade that can be rotated, reground or replaced extends usable service life and lowers long-term operating cost.

Cutting-Area Guard

Restricts access to hazardous areas while allowing approved material to be positioned.

Hold-Down Device

Controls material movement and reduces kickback or lifting during the cut.

Emergency Stop

Accessible from the normal operating position.

Controlled Activation

Control position and configuration reduce accidental activation.

Main Isolator

A clear method of isolating electrical power for maintenance.

Warning Labels

Identify cutting area, electrical hazards, stored pressure and required PPE.

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.

Documents Available for Review

  • Electrical drawings
  • Hydraulic schematic
  • Operation manual
  • Maintenance instructions
  • Risk-assessment documentation
  • Declaration documents
  • Component certificates
  • Test records and packing list

Machine safety and conformity requirements vary by destination, application and final configuration. Confirm the exact standard and required documents before ordering.

CHOOSE BY PROCESSING OBJECTIVE

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Alligator Shear FAQ

Answers stay conservative until the exact machine and your material have been confirmed.

An alligator shear cuts, cleans and sizes individual pieces of ferrous or non-ferrous scrap. Typical work includes bars, pipes, profiles, cable, valves, radiator sections and mixed dismantling scrap. The exact application depends on the model and the material.
Most hydraulic alligator shears process mild steel and non-ferrous metal, but the approved capacity differs with material grade, hardness, cross-section and cutting position. Send your material information before ordering.
Cutting force has to be selected together with blade length, jaw opening, material geometry, cutting position and operating duty. Send the maximum material dimensions and grade and we will recommend a configuration.
No. Bar diameter is useful only when the grade and cross-section are also known. A hollow pipe, a solid round bar, a cable bundle and a hardened shaft with the same outside diameter do not create the same cutting requirement.
Some stainless material can be cut within a reduced capacity, but it must be evaluated separately. A mild steel capacity figure must never be used to assume stainless steel performance.
A suitable long-blade model can be used for certain radiator cutting work. Provide the radiator dimensions, construction and required cut direction so the blade length and jaw opening can be evaluated.
Yes, selected models are used to shorten large cable and copper wire bundles. Confirm the cable diameter, conductor construction, armour and cutting frequency.
An alligator shear can cut selected converter pipes when it is equipped and operated appropriately. A positioning fixture, additional guard or specific work procedure may be required, and the converter and pipe dimensions must be confirmed first.
Full-stroke cycle time on the standard MAS-630 is 6 – 12 seconds depending on stroke setting. Actual production also depends heavily on sorting, loading, positioning and unloading time.
Depending on the model the blades are replaceable, reversible or regrindable. The quotation states the blade material, the number of usable edges and the spare-blade price.
The hold-down system depends on the selected model. Confirm in the quotation whether a mechanical, hydraulic or automatically sequenced hold-down device is included.
Yes. The standard supply is 380 V / 50 Hz / 3 phase and other voltages and frequencies are available. Provide the installation country, voltage, phase and frequency before production begins.
Hydraulic oil is normally excluded from international shipment for transport and import reasons. The quotation states whether the machine ships with or without oil and specifies the recommended oil grade.
The machine must stand on a stable, suitable floor and be anchored according to the installation instructions. Foundation requirements depend on machine weight, operating loads and local conditions.
Documentation depends on the final machine configuration and the destination requirements. State the destination country and the required conformity documents before ordering; one standard configuration does not meet every market requirement.
Inspection options include factory photographs, live video inspection, a recorded cutting-test video, third-party inspection and in-person inspection. Agree the inspection scope before the order is confirmed.
Material type and grade, maximum dimensions, cross-sectional shape, required cut length, daily processing volume, local voltage, destination port or address, and photographs or video of the material.
The standard warranty on the MAS series is 12 months. Warranty scope, exclusions, parts policy and service responsibilities are stated in the final sales contract.

BEFORE YOU SIGN ANYTHING

Do Not Buy an Alligator Shear Until the Material Has Been Confirmed

A machine can have an impressive cutting-force number and still be wrong for your operation if:

  • The jaw cannot accept the material
  • The blade is too short
  • The required cut happens too close to the blade tip
  • The cycle is too slow for the workload
  • The hold-down does not suit the workpiece
  • The electrical supply is incorrect
  • The safety configuration does not meet destination requirements
  • Replacement blades and spare parts are hard to obtain

Let Us Match the Machine to Your Scrap

Send a photo or video of the largest and most difficult material you expect to process. You do not need a formal specification — clear photos, approximate dimensions and the result you want are enough.

  • Suitable model and expected cutting position
  • Required jaw opening and recommended blade length
  • Cutting-force range, motor and voltage
  • Safety configuration and optional equipment
  • Packing and freight to your port
