Market Background
Turkey is a key manufacturing and logistics bridge between Europe and Asia, with strong demand from steel processing and metal recycling. As scrap yards expand, two bottlenecks are often reported: (1) mixed materials (sections plus plate) can disrupt cutting rhythm and increase manual intervention; (2) bulky scrap is difficult to feed smoothly, reducing throughput and loading efficiency. As a result, B2B buyers increasingly prefer measurable procurement criteria—t/h throughput, cuts/min cycle rate, feeding opening size, and a size-based cutting capability list—instead of relying on “tonnage” as a standalone concept.
Customer & Application Scenario
The customer is a Turkey-based scrap processing and transshipment operator. The machine is installed at the scrap yard’s pre-processing shearing station, cutting common ferrous materials such as square bar, angle steel, round bar, I-beam, steel plate, and channel steel. The customer’s priority was to keep a controllable cutting rhythm under mixed-material conditions, reduce jamming and unnecessary manual handling, and standardize operating procedures for easier shift management.
Our Solution
We supplied one 630-ton container scrap shear (Model Q43W-6300A). The key configuration was executed strictly according to the technical parameters, and the lead time was kept to 40 days. The selection logic focused on four operational dimensions: throughput, rhythm, feeding adaptability, and verifiable duty boundaries.
Cutting force level: 2890×2 kN (noted as 640 ton), covering the target cutting demand.
Productivity metrics: cutting speed 3–4 cuts/min with a capacity of 8–10 t/h, aligned with on-site scheduling and line balance.
Feeding adaptability: 3700×2500 mm feeding opening combined with 1500 mm blade length, improving tolerance for bulky scrap and mixed feeding postures, helping reduce congestion and waiting time.
Verifiable continuous-duty boundary: hydraulic system pressure 22.0 MPa (Max. 25.5 MPa) plus air cooling, enabling clear operating conditions and thermal management logic.
Operation & control: Siemens PLC automatic control + remote operation, supporting standardized operation and reducing human variability.
Supplier: Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd.
Customer Feedback (On-Site Validation)
During installation and trial operation, the customer focused on rhythm continuity under mixed scrap, feeding smoothness for bulky pieces, and usability of the control system. Because acceptance checks were built around measurable items (capacity, cycle rate, opening size, and size-based cutting references), communication was efficient and troubleshooting paths were clear.
Summary with Key Technical Parameters
This Turkey project highlights a practical selection method: translate “throughput” into measurable procurement and acceptance criteria. Key parameters include 2890×2 kN (640 ton) cutting force, 3700×2500 mm feeding opening, 1500 mm blade length, 3–4 cuts/min, 8–10 t/h throughput, 22.0 MPa (Max. 25.5 MPa) system pressure, air cooling, Siemens PLC + remote operation.
Customer Feedback (Outcome)
The customer confirmed the machine meets the scrap yard’s pre-processing needs for throughput and operational control. They also noted that mixed-material feeding and rhythm management were easier to standardize on site, and the overall experience matched expectations.
Closing Note
If your target market faces similar challenges—mixed scrap cutting, bulky feeding, and rhythm control—write your RFQ with t/h, cuts/min, feeding opening, blade length, a size-based cutting list, pressure range plus cooling method, and PLC/remote control. This reduces selection errors and avoids repeated back-and-forth before acceptance.
1) Market Background:
Saudi Arabia’s recycling and steel-adjacent scrap ecosystem is evolving fast. Large-scale infrastructure work, industrial maintenance, and continuous yard turnover are pushing scrap operators to focus on predictable output size rather than “cut when needed.” Oversize material creates a chain of hidden costs: it slows crane handling, blocks traffic lanes, and delays truck turnaround. In addition, downstream users increasingly expect scrap to be shipment-ready, with consistent lengths that stack cleanly and load efficiently.
That’s why the outlook for heavy-duty guillotine shear installations is strong: a stable cutting station is no longer optional—it becomes the hub that turns mixed heavy scrap into manageable, transportable pieces on a repeatable rhythm.
2) Customer & Application Scenario:
A Saudi scrap processor serving industrial and construction-related scrap streams faced:
Oversize pieces causing yard congestion and repeated repositioning
Dispatch delays when cutting became a last-minute bottleneck
Inconsistent cut lengths creating unstable piles and slower loading
Peak inbound days forcing “stop-and-go” processing and overtime handling
Their goal was clear: build a dedicated sizing station that creates consistent, loadable scrap.
3) Our Solution (Workflow + Selection Logic):
Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. supplied 1 set Y43L-8000 (Q43L-8000L) hydraulic guillotine shear to stabilize the yard’s sizing step. The selection logic prioritized: a long loading room for practical feeding, strong holding for controlled cuts, and a cutting geometry designed for repeatable output. The customer structured a simple workflow:
Feed → Hold → Guillotine Cut → Discharge → Stack/Load.
This approach helps the guillotine shear machine act as a production step—reducing re-handling and making dispatch planning calmer and more predictable.

5) Customer Feedback (Operational Results):
The customer reported that the first improvement was yard order—oversize scrap stopped blocking lanes once cutting became routine. Next, loading became smoother because cut pieces stacked more predictably. Finally, dispatch planning stabilized: instead of “rush cutting” before trucks arrived, the yard could maintain a steady output stream and load on schedule.
6) Key Takeaway:
For Saudi yards under volume pressure, a hydraulic guillotine shear turns heavy scrap sizing into a predictable, repeatable operation—improving yard flow and dispatch reliability.

Mixed heavy scrap, bar/section materials, and thick plate within the listed cutting limits.
Q3: What should be confirmed before ordering?
Scrap type, max size/thickness, feeding method, daily tonnage, and site layout.
CTA: Send your scrap type + max size/thickness + daily tons + feeding method + power supply. We’ll recommend the best configuration and layout.
1) Market Background
In Saudi Arabia, demolition and industrial maintenance scrap often arrives in irregular, heavy forms—bars, thick sections, and large plate pieces that can’t be shipped efficiently without sizing. As the market becomes more time-sensitive, yards that can produce buyer-ready lengths gain an advantage: faster loading, fewer truck delays, and fewer exceptions that require secondary handling. The trend is clear: heavy scrap processing is shifting from ad-hoc cutting to a standardized sizing routine supported by a metal guillotine shear built for consistent daily work.
2) Customer & Application Scenario
The customer needed to solve:
Oversize scrap creating frequent “problem pieces”
Slow staging because operators spent time repositioning material
Inconsistent output piles that were hard to stack and load
Dispatch delays during peak inbound periods
They wanted a robust scrap metal cutting shear that could become the yard’s central sizing station.
3) Our Solution (Workflow + Selection Logic)
Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. supplied 1 set Y43L-8000 (Q43L-8000L) industrial guillotine shear. The selection emphasized a long loading room for practical feeding and strong holding for controlled cuts—critical when scrap forms vary. The yard implemented a repeatable flow:
Crane/Loader Feed → Hold → Cut → Discharge → Stack → Load.
This reduced secondary handling and helped the customer keep output uniform even when the incoming batch changed.
