Gantry Scrap Shear for Scrap Yard Metal Recycling and Size Reduction

Meta Title

Gantry Scrap Shear for Scrap Yard Metal Recycling and Size Reduction

Meta Description

Gantry scrap shear for scrap yard metal recycling, designed with hydraulic pusher feeding, cover pressing system, 7500 mm feeding box and 700 ton shearing capacity.

Product Overview

A gantry scrap shear is widely used in scrap yards and metal recycling plants where large volumes of irregular scrap steel need to be reduced into smaller, more manageable sizes.

The Q91Y-700W hydraulic gantry scrap shear is designed with a 7500×1600×800 mm feeding box, hydraulic pusher feeding and a cover pressing system. This structure helps operators load, compress, push and shear bulky scrap steel in a more controlled workflow.

For recycling companies handling heavy scrap, steel plates, structural steel and mixed industrial steel waste, this equipment provides a practical solution for scrap size reduction before transportation, resale, furnace charging or further processing.

Key Features

Large Feeding Box for Scrap Yard Loading

Scrap yards often receive long, loose and irregular materials. The 7500 mm long feeding box helps load these materials before hydraulic pushing and shearing.

This is especially useful when incoming scrap is not pre-cut into uniform lengths.

Hydraulic Pusher Feeding

The machine uses one YG220/160 push cylinder with 7500 mm stroke and 1000KN full thrust.

The hydraulic pusher moves scrap material toward the cutting area step by step, helping reduce manual repositioning during processing.

Cover Pressing System

The Q91Y-700W includes three YG160/100 door cover cylinders, each with 500KN full thrust and 920 mm stroke.

The cover pressing system helps press bulky scrap before cutting, which is useful for irregular steel plates, structural scrap and mixed ferrous scrap.

700 Ton Shearing Capacity

With 700 tons shearing capacity and twin 3500KN shearing cylinders, the machine is suitable for heavy scrap steel cutting within the specified material range.

Technical Specifications

Cutting Range

The machine is suitable for steel materials with tensile strength condition of Δb≤450 MPa.

Application Scenarios

This gantry scrap shear can be used in:

• Scrap yards
• Metal recycling centers
• Industrial scrap processing plants
• Steel mill scrap preparation lines
• Heavy melting scrap processing
• Scrap size reduction before baling or shredding

Why Scrap Yards Use Gantry Scrap Shears

A gantry scrap shear helps reduce oversized scrap into shorter sections. This supports easier truck loading, storage, transportation and furnace charge preparation.

Compared with relying only on manual gas cutting, hydraulic shearing is more suitable for repeated cutting of heavy steel scrap in a recycling yard environment.

FAQ About Gantry Scrap Shear

Q1: What is a gantry scrap shear?

A gantry scrap shear is a heavy-duty hydraulic shearing machine used to cut oversized scrap steel in recycling yards and metal processing facilities. It usually combines feeding, pressing and shearing functions in one machine.

Q2: Why is a large feeding box useful in scrap yards?

Scrap yards often process long, loose and irregular scrap materials. A larger feeding box helps receive these materials before pushing and cutting. For this model, the feeding box size is 7500×1600×800 mm.

Q3: How does the hydraulic pusher work?

The hydraulic pusher moves scrap material from the feeding box toward the cutting area. The Q91Y-700W uses one push cylinder with 7500 mm stroke and 1000KN full thrust.

Q4: What scrap yard problems can this machine help solve?

It can help process oversized scrap, irregular material length, bulky steel plates and heavy scrap that is difficult to handle manually.

Q5: Is this machine only for scrap yards?

No. It can also be used in steel mills, metal recycling plants, industrial scrap processing centers and facilities that prepare scrap for melting, resale or further processing.
