For overseas scrap recyclers and metal fabrication businesses, choosing a cutting machine involves more than comparing shearing force. Material suitability, feeding efficiency, and installation planning all affect how successfully the equipment performs after delivery. The WANSHIDA Q43-2500 hydraulic alligator shear brings these considerations together in a solution for cutting suitable metal bars, profiles, and production offcuts.
The Q43-2500 provides 2500 kN of maximum shearing force with a 1000 mm blade and a 285 mm maximum blade opening. This configuration allows suitable scrap to be positioned for cutting and longer pieces to be advanced for successive cuts.
An independent hydraulic holding mechanism provides up to 80 kN of holding force, helping restrain the workpiece during shearing. For recycling facilities handling irregular offcuts, controlled material positioning is an important part of the cutting process.
| Key Specification | Q43-2500 |
|---|---|
| Maximum shearing force | 2500 kN |
| Blade length | 1000 mm |
| Maximum blade opening | 285 mm |
| Maximum holding force | 80 kN |
| Cutting frequency | 8–16 cycles/min |
| Approximate machine weight | 4.2 tonnes |
For an international equipment purchase, confirming the application before production helps reduce the risk of a mismatch after arrival.
The Q43-2500 specification lists cutting capacities of 70 × 70 mm square section or Ø80 mm round section. These dimensions must be assessed against the actual material grade and strength. Stainless steel, high-strength alloys, and hollow profiles require their own evaluation.
Buyers can support this assessment by providing:
These details help establish whether the machine suits both the incoming material and the intended workflow.
Site planning is another essential part of an export project. Buyers should confirm the available voltage and frequency, unloading arrangements, and space for feeding and collecting material.
The installation area must accommodate the complete equipment layout, including the separate hydraulic oil tank, with access for inspection and maintenance. Long or heavy workpieces also need suitable handling arrangements.
Although the specified cutting frequency is 8–16 cycles per minute, actual hourly output depends on material weight, feeding time, and the number of cuts per piece. Evaluating these factors gives buyers a more useful production estimate.
Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. offers the Q43-2500 alligator shear for overseas businesses seeking to bring suitable scrap cutting into their own operations.
