Metal shears are mainly used to cut and shear all kinds of metal materials according to the required size, which are widely used in metal processing, manufacturing, construction industry and other fields. Shuliy’s hydraulic metal shears are favored by customers for their powerful shearing force, stable performance and high shearing accuracy.
Application of Metal Shearing Machine
The metal cutting shear provides an efficient solution for cold shearing scrap metal in a variety of cross-section shapes, including round, square, channel, angle, plate, and pipe.
In addition, the machine can also shear can easily cut other non-ferrous metals and metal alloys such as iron, copper, and aluminum.
With its powerful performance and versatility, Shuliy’s metal cutting shear machines play a key role in metal recycling and processing plants, end-of-life vehicle dismantling yards, and the smelting and foundry industry. It helps industries grow and achieve their environmental goals.
Benefits of Metal Shear Cutter

- Smooth and efficient operation. The metal shear cutter adopts a hydraulic system to provide the required cutting force, which ensures stable operation and high efficiency of the shearing process.
- Wide applicability. The metal shearing machine can handle a wide range of metal materials from steel to aluminum, making it a versatile option for recycling facilities that handle a variety of metal types.
- Durable construction. Made of high-strength alloy steel, the hydraulic sheet metal shear can withstand frequent use, ensuring a long service life and minimal maintenance requirements.
- Easy to operate and move. The simple structure and easy-to-operate control panel make it easy to use. And, customers can move the machine to shear materials in different positions.
What Are the Types of Metal Shears
Alligator Shear
Alligator shear, also known simply as an “alligator shearing machine” or “crocodile shear”. The name is derived from its design, which often features a jaw-like arrangement resembling an alligator’s mouth.
The machine can be used to cut and reduce the size of large metal objects, such as steel beams, pipes, rods, and scrap metal from automobiles, appliances, and other sources, into smaller and more manageable pieces.
Tiger Head Shear
Because of its shape resembles the head of a tiger, it is named “tiger head shear”. It shears, presses and flanges various shapes of steel profiles and various metal materials, as well as presses and molds powdered products, plastics, glass fiber reinforced plastic, insulating materials, rubber, and so on.
Shuliy’s alligator shear and tiger head shear in the external shape of its equipment is different, but the structure of the equipment and the principle of operation are the same. They are both hydraulic drive technology to realize the metal material shear machinery and equipment.
Key Parts of Metal Shearing Machine
Hydraulic metal shear consists of shear cylinder, shear knife, slider press knife, lower knife seat, press cylinder and so on.
Shear knife: made of high-strength alloy steel, with high hardness and wear resistance, to ensure shear precision.
Hydraulic system: the hydraulic system provides power for cutting to ensure that the shearing process is precise, smooth and efficient.
Anvil: the metal being cut is placed on a sturdy anvil or bed against which the blades come into contact during the cutting process.
Control panel: operators can control the metal shear machine’s operation, including blade movement and cutting force, through a control panel.
How Does the Hydraulic Alligator Shear Work?
The hydraulic alligator shears are constructed with upper and lower alligator shears. The machine is driven by a hydraulic pump to form pressure in the electromagnetic reversing valve and the control of the oil circuit to realize the lifting and contraction of the cylinder.
First, the material is pre-pressurized and locked. Push up under the pressure of the cylinder through the lever principle to realize the upper crocodile downward pressure and assist the cylinder to lock the material.
Finally, under the continuous pushing-up action of the main cylinder, the upper alligator movable knife, and the lower alligator fixed knife can realize the interaction of shearing and thus cut the material at the cut-off point.
