HXJQ7000 Gantry Shearing Machine Structure Diagram
Haoxing Machinery's Gantry Shear, also called hydraulic gantry shear or guillotine shear, is a heavy-duty cold shearing machine for processing large scrap metal materials. It is commonly used in scrap recycling yards, steel mills, foundries, ELV dismantling yards and shipbreaking operations.
The machine usually consists of a heavy-duty frame, hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic power unit, feeding hopper, side compression system, feeding conveyor or pusher system, shear blade, discharge system and electric control cabinet.
During operation, scrap metal is loaded into the hopper and pressed by side compression cylinders. The feeding system moves the material toward the cutting area, and the hydraulic cylinders drive the moving blade downward to cut the material against the fixed bed knife. The cut material is then discharged for storage, transportation or further recycling.
The gantry shear can process different types of heavy scrap metal, including channels, I-beams, rails, car frames, truck frames, ship plates, round steel, square steel, pipes and steel plates. Shearing force, blade width, hopper size, feeding method and control system can be customized according to material type, production capacity and site layout.
Scrap metal should be inspected before loading. Material dimensions, cross-section, thickness, hardness and internal construction must remain within the rated capacity of the selected gantry shear.
Sealed containers, pressure vessels, gas cylinders, batteries, fuel tanks, explosive items and hazardous materials must be removed or handled separately.
Prepared scrap is loaded into the feeding box by a grapple, crane or other suitable material-handling equipment. The feeding box dimensions and loading method are selected according to the scrap size and required capacity.
Hydraulic compression devices press loose or irregular scrap into a more manageable bundle. Compression helps control the material position and prepares it for stable feeding toward the cutting chamber.
A hydraulic pusher or conveyor advances the compressed material toward the shear blade. The feeding distance can be adjusted according to the required cut length and material condition.
The hydraulic cylinders drive the moving blade downward against the fixed blade. Concentrated hydraulic force cuts the prepared ferrous scrap into shorter sections.
The ability to cut a specific material depends on its cross-section, thickness, grade, hardness and position inside the cutting chamber.
After each shearing stroke, the blade returns to its open position and the feeding system advances the remaining material. The machine can repeat the cycle according to the selected operating mode.
Cut scrap is discharged below or behind the machine and collected directly or transferred by conveyor. The processed material can then be transported, sorted, baled or prepared for furnace feeding.

Hydraulic cold shearing: The gantry shear uses hydraulic cylinders to drive the moving blade for cold shearing. It is suitable for cutting large and heavy scrap metal materials without flame cutting.
Suitable for heavy scrap metal: The machine can process channels, I-beams, steel plates, pipes, rails, car frames, ship plates, round steel, square steel and other large scrap metal materials.
Compression and feeding system: The side compression cylinders help press loose scrap before cutting. The feeding system moves material toward the blade and supports continuous shearing operation.
Adjustable cutting length: Cutting length can be adjusted according to material size and downstream processing requirements. This makes the cut material easier for storage, transportation and further recycling.
Heavy-duty frame structure: The main frame is welded with thick steel plates. The reinforced structure is suitable for high-load shearing work in scrap recycling yards, steel processing sites and metal recovery plants.
Hydraulic drive system: The hydraulic system provides stable shearing force for cutting different scrap metal materials. Hydraulic cylinders, pumps, valves and pipelines can be configured according to model and shearing tonnage.
Multiple operation modes: Manual control, remote control and automatic control can be selected according to site operation requirements. The control system can coordinate feeding, compression, shearing and discharging.
Custom configuration available: Blade width, hopper size, shearing force, motor power, hydraulic pump configuration, feeding method and discharge method can be customized according to material type, required capacity and site layout.
