STATIONARY SHEARS

摘要

Chop, chop, chop. That's what a stationary shear does: It cleaves huge pieces of structural steel into smaller pieces that a scrapyard can sell to a steel mill or foundry. It's designed to handle bulky items such as pipes, containers, or railcars, as well as stringy, tangled ferrous metal, such as rebar, which it compresses and chops into more manageable pieces. When used with the right type and volume of material, it can process metal better and more efficiently than any other piece of scrapyard equipment, manufacturers say. These machines have been reliable workhorses of the scrap industry for decades, with incremental improvements in design over the years.
