Shear Genius: Gravity-feed PC/AC Hydraulic Scrap Shears
Vezzani PC/AC side compression gravity-feed scrap shears set a new standard for processing a wider range of materials simply and efficiently.
Vezanni’s patented gravity feed on a 30° incline allows continuous processing of bulky and long-dimension scrap. PC/AC scrap shears improve productivity throughout all ferrous and non-ferrous applications by continuously processing the widest range of scrap – from light, bulky scrap to heavy demolition material, reinforcing steel tangles & railway lines – with no costly sorting or cutting required.
The concentrated demolition zone with high-powered side compression allows operators to produce material that is cleaner, more marketable, up to 50% denser than the product from traditional shears.
- eliminate pre-cutting or sorting steps
- process material of unlimited length with continuous cycling
- no need for pusher rams or lids; less maintenance and servicing
- eliminate time to feed and fold scrap down to closed squeeze-box dimensions
- gradual compression feed concentrates power in 60% less surface area than squeeze-boxes
- 500 to 2400 tons of shearing capacity
- feeding box widths 2000 - 3500 mm that can accept any length scrap
- fully automatic saves on labour costs
- finished material classified V1 (Vezzani 1) due to exceptional finished density and quality
On-site = Insight
Vezzani custom-designed a PC/AC remote-controlled installation for a Canadian recycler that allows a single operator to control both the shear and the mobile crane that feeds it.
