Case Study (Serbia) — Mixed Heavy Scrap: Reducing “Problem Pieces” and Secondary Cutting

Case Study (Serbia) — Mixed Heavy Scrap: Reducing “Problem Pieces” and Secondary Cutting

2026-02-09

Market Background

As scrap streams diversify, productivity loss often comes from exceptions: awkward shapes, beams, thick bundles, and mixed batches that require extra moves. Serbia yards expanding volume increasingly choose equipment that reduces exceptions and makes output predictable. A strong scrap metal shearing equipment setup reduces rework, improves safety, and keeps throughput stable when scrap mix changes.

Customer & Application Scenario

The customer faced:

  • Too many “problem pieces” requiring secondary cutting

  • Throughput instability when batches changed

  • Congestion around the cutting station during peak intake

Our Solution (Workflow + Why This Model)

Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. provided the Q43W-4000A3 container type hydraulic shear to centralize cutting. The wide feeding mouth supports practical loading, and strong holding reduces repositioning. With 3–4 cuts/min and 4–6 t/h, the scrap processing shear maintained rhythm across mixed material. That repeatability reduced exceptions and improved yard discipline.

Product Specification Table (Q43W-4000A3)

Angle 180×180×15 (3 pcs);

Round Φ110;

I-beam 320×132×11.5;

Plate 30×450;

Channel 320×90×10

Customer Feedback

They reported fewer secondary cuts, cleaner piles, and steadier output even when feedstock changed. The cutting station stopped being a “chaos point” and became a predictable production step.

Key Takeaway

For mixed heavy scrap, a heavy duty scrap shear creates value by reducing exceptions and stabilizing daily throughput.

FAQ

Q1: What scrap shapes is this model typically used for?
Common shapes include plate, angle, round, square, channel, and I-beam within defined ranges.
Q2: Why does feeding mouth size matter?
A wider mouth reduces repositioning time and improves practicality for awkward pieces.
Q3: How do you reduce secondary cutting?
Match holding force and cutting rhythm to your scrap mix, then set a consistent staging process.
