A horizontal metal shear machine, also known as a horizontal scrap shear or horizontal metal cutting shear, is an industrial tool used for cutting and shearing metal scrap horizontally. These machines are commonly employed in metal recycling facilities to process and prepare metal scrap for recycling. Here are key features and functionalities associated with horizontal metal shear machines:
1. Horizontal Shearing Mechanism:
The primary function of a horizontal metal shear machine is to cut and shear metal scrap horizontally. It typically consists of a horizontal blade or blades that move across a horizontal plane, exerting force to cut through the metal.
2. Hydraulic System:
Most horizontal metal shear machines utilize hydraulic systems to provide the necessary force for cutting. Hydraulic cylinders and pumps generate the force required to shear through various types and thicknesses of metal.
3. Material Feed and Compression:
Some machines are equipped with mater…
