4000kN Horizontal Container Scrap Shear 1400mm Blade Heavy Steel Scrap Processing For Recycling and Steel Mills
Product Overview
The Q43W-4000A horizontal container scrap shear is a heavy-duty metal cutting solution specifically designed for high-volume scrap processing. Unlike traditional alligator shears, this container-type (box shear) machine integrates feeding, compression, and shearing into one continuous workflow, significantly improving efficiency and reducing labor dependency.
With a powerful 4000 kN cutting force and a 1400 mm blade length, this model is capable of processing large, bulky, and irregular scrap materials such as steel plates, structural steel, car bodies, and mixed heavy scrap. The enclosed container design ensures better material control, higher safety standards, and more consistent output sizes.
Equipped with a 74 kW hydraulic system and operating at a pressure of 25 MPa, the machine delivers stable, high-force cutting performance. The air cooling system ensures reliable operation even in high-temperature environments, while button control simplifies operation and reduces the skill requirements for operators.
This machine is ideal for medium to large-scale scrap yards, recycling centers, and steel production facilities seeking a balance between automation, power, and cost-effectiveness.
Cause
Scrap processing facilities often encounter the following challenges:
- Large and irregular scrap that cannot be efficiently handled by small or open-type shears
- High labor costs due to manual feeding and repositioning
- Safety risks from exposed cutting operations
- Low processing efficiency when handling bulk scrap materials
- Inconsistent output size affecting furnace charging or transportation
Traditional shearing equipment lacks the integrated compression and feeding capability required for modern, high-throughput operations.
Solution
The Q43W-4000A horizontal container shear provides a comprehensive solution:
- Integrated compression and shearing system improves cutting efficiency
- Enclosed box design enhances operator safety and material control
- Large output mouth (1400×450 mm) allows continuous discharge of processed scrap
- Stable hydraulic system ensures consistent cutting performance
- Air cooling system supports long working hours in demanding environments
- Button control operation simplifies usage and reduces training requirements
This results in higher productivity, safer operation, and optimized downstream processing.

Application
The Q43W-4000A is widely used in:
- Large scrap metal recycling stations
- Steel mills and foundries
- Automobile dismantling plants
- Industrial waste processing facilities
Suitable materials include:
- Steel plates and sheets
- Structural steel (H-beams, channels, angles)
- Scrap vehicles and light mixed scrap
- Pipes, profiles, and bulky ferrous materials
How It Works
The machine operates through a sequence of feeding, compression, and shearing. Scrap material is loaded into the container chamber, where a hydraulic system compresses the material into a dense mass. Once sufficient compression is achieved, the main cutting cylinder drives the blade to shear the material.
The processed scrap is then discharged through the output mouth, allowing continuous operation. This integrated workflow significantly improves efficiency compared to standalone cutting machines.
How To Choose
When selecting a horizontal container shear, consider:
- Type and size of scrap materials (bulky vs. uniform)
- Required processing capacity and throughput
- Desired level of automation (manual, button control, PLC optional)
- Site layout and available installation space
- Power supply and local standards
For operations dealing with large volumes of mixed or bulky scrap, a container shear like the Q43W-4000A offers superior performance compared to traditional shears.
