Recently, a professional scrap metal recycling company in Brazil successfully purchased and commissioned 3 units 160-ton alligator shear from Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. After being put into daily operation, the customer reported very positive feedback, stating that the machine delivers excellent cutting efficiency, strong shearing force, and stable performance, fully meeting the demands of the Brazilian scrap recycling market.

Designed for the Brazilian Scrap Recycling Market

Brazil has a well-developed scrap metal recycling industry, with strong demand for processing scrap steel, rebar, pipes, profiles, and non-ferrous metals generated from construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure projects. The 160-ton alligator shear purchased by the client is mainly used for cutting medium-size scrap steel, steel bars, angle steel, channels, aluminum profiles and light structural scrap. By reducing oversized scrap into manageable lengths, the equipment helps the customer improve material handling efficiency and prepare scrap for further baling, transportation, or melting in steel mills.

Reliable Cutting Performance and Practical Advantages

Wanshida’s 160-ton alligator shear is designed with a powerful hydraulic system and heavy-duty structure, ensuring reliable performance under continuous operation. Key advantages include:

1. Strong Cutting Force: With a 160-ton shearing capacity, the machine easily cuts through rebar, steel pipes, and various steel profiles commonly found in Brazilian scrap yards.

2. High Efficiency: Fast cutting cycles significantly improve processing efficiency and reduce labor intensity.

3. Stable and Durable Structure: The reinforced body and high-quality blades ensure long service life, even in harsh working environments.

4. Easy Operation and Maintenance: Simple hydraulic controls allow operators to work efficiently, while low maintenance requirements help reduce operating costs.

5. Energy-Saving Design: Optimized hydraulic configuration lowers energy consumption while maintaining high cutting performance.

Helping Customers Improve Profitability and Sustainability

According to the customer, the 160-ton alligator shear has noticeably improved scrap processing efficiency and cutting quality. Uniformly cut scrap is easier to store, transport, and sell to downstream steel mills, helping the company increase turnover speed and overall profitability. At the same time, efficient scrap processing supports Brazil’s growing focus on sustainable resource utilization and circular economy development.
