Hear What Our Customers Say
At ARZIR, we believe in the power of collaboration. Our trusted partnerships with scrap yards, steel mills, foundries and metal recyclers around the world strengthen our capabilities and broaden our offering. Together, we deliver scrap metal shear solutions that transform oversized heavy scrap — structural steel, rebar, plate, pipe, rail and HMS — into uniform, furnace-ready charge with high cutting force, low cycle times and rugged reliability. These partnerships allow us to share expertise, refine our hydraulics and blade technology, and consistently deliver heavy-duty machines backed by responsive service. Our commitment to performance is reflected in the long-term relationships we have built, and ultimately in the throughput and uptime our customers see on the shear yard every single shift.
We commissioned the ARZIR heavy-duty scrap metal shear for our HMS and structural steel line eighteen months ago. Cutting force is exactly as promised, blade wear is minimal and our daily throughput has climbed well beyond our previous shear with shorter cycles and clean, uniform cuts.

Scrap Metal Shear FAQ | ARZIR Machinery
Most Popular Questions
A scrap metal shear is a heavy-duty hydraulic machine that cuts bulky ferrous and non-ferrous scrap — such as steel beams, rebar, plates, pipes, rails and HMS — into short, uniform pieces suitable for steel mills, foundries and shipping containers.
Material is loaded into the cutting box, pressed and compacted by the side-wing and top-lid cylinders, and then sheared by the main cutting cylinder at 320–1,600 tons of cutting force. Finished pieces are typically 200–800 mm long, ready for direct charging into EAF furnaces or for export sale at premium HMS 1&2 prices.
ARZIR scrap metal shears handle virtually all types of heavy metal scrap, including:
• Heavy melting steel (HMS 1&2), structural steel and steel beams
• Rebar, wire rod, billet ends and rolling mill cut-offs
• Steel pipes, rails, plates and sheet metal
• End-of-life vehicles (ELVs), car bodies and white goods
• Ship-breaking scrap, demolition steel and bridge sections
• Non-ferrous metals such as copper cable, aluminium profiles and brass scrap.
Capacity depends on cutting force, material thickness and bale density. Typical throughput is:
• Compact shears (Q43-400 / 630): 3–8 t/h, ideal for yards and small recyclers
• Mid-size gantry shears (Q91-800 / 1000): 10–20 t/h for medium scrap processors
• Heavy-duty container shears (Q91-1200 / 1600): 25–60 t/h for steel mills, shipyards and large ELV plants.
Fully automatic models support continuous 24/7 operation with PLC control and remote monitoring.
Every ARZIR scrap metal shear complies with CE / ISO safety standards and is equipped with:
• Reinforced steel guarding around the cutting and feeding area
• Emergency stop buttons at the operator cabin, ground level and feeding side
• Hydraulic overload protection and dual pressure relief valves
• Anti-shock cutting system to absorb impact and protect the main frame
• Interlocked maintenance doors and lockout-tagout (LOTO) provisions
• Oil-temperature, oil-level and motor-overload monitoring with audible alarms.
Standard lead time is 60–90 days for compact shears, 90–120 days for mid-size gantry shears, and 5–7 months for heavy-duty container shears with feeding conveyors, magnetic separators and bale-handling systems.
All ARZIR scrap metal shears come with a 2-year warranty on the main frame, hydraulic cylinders and pump station, plus lifetime technical support and a free supply of critical wear parts (blade bolts, seals, wear plates) during the first year.
ARZIR offers a complete range of scrap metal shears to match every throughput and application:
• Alligator shears (Q08-200 to Q08-630) — compact, for rebar, copper cable and light steel
• Gantry shears (Q91-500 to Q91-1000) — open-top, for structural steel and medium scrap
• Container shears (Q91-1200 to Q91-1600) — closed-box, for HMS, ELVs and bulky scrap
• Shear-baler-loggers — combined baling, logging and shearing in one machine
• Mobile / track-mounted shears for demolition and on-site processing.
ARZIR scrap metal shears deliver cutting forces from 200 to 1,600 tons, with blade lengths from 600 mm to 2,000 mm and feeding box dimensions up to 9,000 × 2,000 × 1,200 mm.
Maximum cutting cross-section ranges from Ø80 mm rebar / 10 mm steel plate (compact alligator) to Ø300 mm round bar / 50 mm thick steel plate (heavy-duty container shear). Finished piece length is fully adjustable from 200 mm to 800 mm to match steel mill charging requirements.
Shearing turns bulky, irregular scrap into clean, uniform and high-density pieces ready for direct furnace charging. Key benefits include:
• Up to 70% volume reduction — far lower storage and transport cost
• 20–40% higher selling price vs. unprocessed HMS scrap
• Full container loading (25–28 t / 40-ft HQ) for profitable export
• Uniform piece size for safe and efficient EAF / induction furnace charging
• Cleaner, safer and more organized scrap yard
• Short payback period — typically 12–24 months.
ARZIR scrap metal shears are controlled by Siemens S7-1200 / S7-1500 PLC with a 10"–15" industrial HMI touchscreen, supporting fully automatic, semi-automatic and manual modes with multi-language interface (EN / ES / FR / RU / AR).
Optional upgrades include auto-cycle cutting programs, hydraulic feeder & pusher synchronization, remote IoT diagnostics, production data logging, blade-wear monitoring and integration with upstream grapple loaders, magnetic separators and downstream conveyors.
Yes. ARZIR offers full turnkey service including site evaluation, scrap yard layout design, foundation drawings, on-site installation, commissioning, operator training and production tuning by senior engineers.
Our after-sales network covers 100+ countries, with multilingual technical support, 24/7 remote diagnostics, fast spare-parts delivery worldwide (blades, seals, hoses) and an optional on-site service contract for heavy-duty container shears and complete shearing lines.
