Three On-Site Pain Points Keep Squeezing Saudi Yard Margins:

In Saudi Arabia, heavy scrap often comes from construction demolition, steel structure projects, and industrial refurbishment—think large-section beams, bundled rebar, thick plate offcuts, and mixed structural parts. Many recycling yards face the same recurring challenges:

• Bulky, irregular heavy scrap quickly clogs stockyards, increasing grapple time and internal re-handling.

• Torch cutting and manual work can’t keep a stable rhythm, while safety, fumes, and compliance pressure rise.

• Inconsistent delivery sizes create friction with downstream steelmakers, triggering rework, slower charging, or price deductions.
  As a result, more yards are prioritizing centralized heavy scrap shearing + standardized output as a direct lever for throughput and cost control.

Processing Direction Is Clear: Centralized Shearing Replaces Scattered Torch Cutting:

To address “hard-to-process” heavy scrap, many Saudi operators are shifting from decentralized torch stations to centralized hydraulic shearing. A dedicated shear bay lets yards cut long and heavy pieces into transportable, stackable, furnace-friendly sizes with a more predictable cadence. Operationally, the value usually shows up in three places: more stable rhythm, lower labor intensity, and a cleaner yard flow built around standard sizes.

Recommended Selection Reference: Q43-6300L Gantry-Type Heavy Scrap Hydraulic Shear:

For Saudi demolition scrap, structural steel, and mixed heavy scrap, the Q43-6300L hydraulic scrap shear follows a “heavy-duty gantry shear” approach: a long feeding chamber, wide shearing width, and a workflow designed for continuous loading by grapple/crane. It also adopts PLC automatic control with a remote controller, helping operators keep a safer distance and maintain steadier operation in dusty, noisy, and visually constrained sites.

Layout Recommendation: Put the Shear Bay at the Yard “Choke Point”:

A practical layout is to place the gantry shear between the heavy-scrap receiving zone and the finished stockpile area. Trucks unload heavy scrap, a grapple feeds the chamber directly, and sheared output is stacked to a consistent length logic (e.g., ~600 mm class) before loading. This reduces repeated internal handling of long pieces, prevents lane blockage, and makes it easier to standardize output sizes.

Customer Feedback: First You Fix Yard Order—Then You Lift Shipping Efficiency:

During trial operation, feedback commonly centers on three improvements:

1. More continuous shearing: the long feeding chamber suits continuous grapple feeding, reducing frequent stops for repositioning.

2. More consistent output: standardized lengths stack better, load tighter, and reduce downstream negotiation and rework.

3. Better fit for high-temperature operation: with forced cooling, yards find it easier to keep a stable rhythm and reduce unplanned slowdowns caused by heat buildup.

Trend Outlook: Saudi Heavy Scrap Is Shifting from Torch Labor to Centralized Mechanical Shearing:

Overall, heavy scrap processing in Saudi Arabia is moving from “can we process it?” to “can we process it stably, produce standard sizes, and keep the yard flowing?” Gantry-type heavy scrap shears help yards build a controllable heavy-scrap workflow: less dependence on manual torch work, cleaner yard organization, and more consistent deliveries—especially during peak inflow periods.
