As the name suggests, Alligator shearing machine is a resemblance to crocodile and its blades move like jaws of the reptile. AMS crocodile shear is an ideal device for metal recycling which can cut cable, steel plate etc. to certain length. It is applied in recycling companies, automobile dismantling plants, smelting and casting industry to cold shear all shapes of profile steels and all kinds of metals into qualified furnaces. With longer functional life, less wear & tear and resistance against corrosion, AMS crocodile shear gains great reputation among our global clients. Now scroll down to know AMS crocodile shear with various model for specific requirements!

Features of Alligator Shear
1. Alligator shears adopt whole steel structure, good strength and rigidity
2. Hydraulic drive, simple operation and easy maintenance.
3. Different levels of force and blade lengths are available to meet users with different requirements: shear force from 63 to 250 tons and blade lengths from 500mm to 2020mm.
4. No footing bolts are needed. There’s diesel engine driven if no electricity is available.
5. The top beam is directed by three point roller with consumable hardened liners for slightest wear.

Hydraulic Alligator Shearing process

alligator shearing process

The alligator shearing machine has a heavy metal fixed lower blade against which an upper hinged blade continuously operates in a scissor action. It has a heavy hinged metal clamp for holding the scrap metal against the lower blade. The scrap metal is placed under and through the clamp by the operator and then pushed between the two blades. The top blade descends and shears off the metal into sections.
In addition, scrap material is usually fed by hand into the machine. This of course means that the operator’s hands are close to the continuously moving blade of the machine. Please be cautious that do not get hurt when feeding materials.

Precautions for Operation & Maintenance
A safe system of work should be formulated for people operating and maintaining the crocodile shear. The system of work should pay particular attention to the following matters:
(a) The maximum thickness of scrap material which can be cut should be clearly marked on the frame of the shearing machine.
(b) The proper use of the safety devices.
(c) The provision and maintenance of clear and unrestricted space around the machine.
(d) The electrical isolation of shears before maintenance work begins.
(e) The minimum age of operators should be marked on the machine.
