WS Horizontal Box Shear Machine

The WS uses a top-loading hopper, reinforced box-type body and horizontal shearing arrangement rather than a pivoting alligator jaw. It is assessed as a cutting stage for suitable bulky and irregular scrap. The choice depends on the incoming sections, loading equipment and required cut output, not only a comparison of nominal cutting-force ratings.

Provide the toughest grade, largest dimensions and thickness for plate, pipe, tube, rebar and recovered sections, together with representative mixed-load photographs. Identify how much oversized material occurs in normal production. A piece fitting into the top hopper does not establish that the selected cutting configuration can process it or the proposed combination of pieces.

No. The published 3–15 t/h is indicative and depends on configuration, grade, thickness, shape and feeding conditions. Confirm capacity with the expected scrap mix and actual loading method. Measure accepted cut output over elapsed production time, including normal handling and collection, rather than treating the series maximum as a commitment for every load.

The WS is described as a horizontal box shear for size reduction. A press-force entry in its specification does not establish finished-bale production or a bale-discharge system. If you require compacted bales as well as cut scrap, state both outputs and ask for the relevant equipment scope instead of assuming the cutting machine supplies both.

Confirm loading height, equipment reach and the clear area needed to handle the longest approved scrap, then define cut-piece collection and service access. Review the complete layout rather than only the box body's footprint. Automatic, manual or remote-control requirements should be confirmed in the selected specification together with guarding and the approved handling workflow.

Include the hopper and processing area, blades and mountings, specified wear surfaces, hydraulic power unit and protective controls in the machine-specific plan. Confirm safe service access around the box body before installation. Qualified personnel must follow the manufacturer's lockout and stored-energy procedures before inspection inside protected areas, blade servicing or blockage clearing.

Agree the material mix, maximum approved sections, target cut size and loading method before the test. Include demanding pieces as well as typical scrap, documenting processed mass, elapsed time, collection and interruptions. Check the finished material against downstream requirements. The resulting capacity basis should name the tested configuration and feed conditions, not simply quote the series range.
