Turkey is one of the largest scrap-consuming countries in Europe, with steel production heavily dependent on recycled metal. This creates strong demand for reliable and efficient hydraulic scrap shears, especially for processing heavy and mixed structural steel.
However, many recycling facilities still face practical challenges:
These challenges directly affect productivity, labor cost, and downstream steelmaking efficiency.
A recycling company based in Izmir, Turkey contacted us while upgrading their scrap processing system.
Their main materials included:
Their existing machine struggled with large and uneven materials. Operators needed to manually adjust scrap before each cut, which slowed down production and increased safety risks.
They were looking for:
Based on their requirements, we recommended a Q43W-5000 hydraulic scrap shear with compression box, designed for heavy-duty applications.
This configuration allowed the customer to process large and mixed scrap without pre-cutting, significantly simplifying their workflow.
One of the key improvements came from the compression box structure.
Compared with traditional shear machines, this design:
The large feeding opening (3300 × 2400 mm) also made it possible to load bulky materials directly, reducing handling time.
After commissioning, the customer observed clear improvements:
With a cutting speed of 2–3 cycles per minute, the machine significantly increased daily processing capacity.
Operators no longer needed to manually reposition materials. Continuous feeding became possible.
The discharge size (1400 × 400 mm) ensured uniform scrap pieces, improving furnace efficiency.
The hydraulic system maintained reliable performance even with thick and mixed scrap, reducing downtime.
In many cases, scrap processors focus mainly on cutting force when selecting a machine. However, real performance depends on multiple factors:
A well-balanced configuration often delivers better results than simply increasing tonnage.
For scrap processors in Turkey and similar markets, upgrading to a hydraulic scrap shear with compression box can significantly improve efficiency, safety, and output consistency.
The Q43W-5000 provides a reliable solution for handling heavy and mixed scrap, helping recycling companies streamline operations and better meet the demands of modern steel production.
