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.

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.
