Advanced Cast Iron Recycling Solutions: The Heavy-duty Shear

1. Material Introduction

Cast iron is a carbon-iron alloy (2-4% carbon content) renowned for its excellent castability and vibration damping properties. Widely used in:

Automotive components (engine blocks, brake discs)

Municipal infrastructure (water pipes, manhole covers)

Industrial machinery (press frames, machine tool bases)

2. Recycling Challenges & Solutions

Key Processing Difficulties:

High hardness (180-300 BHN) requiring powerful cutting force

Brittle nature causing fragmentation issues

Contamination from attached non-ferrous materials

Technical Solutions:

Pre-sorting with sensor-based separation

Hydraulic cutting systems for clean material preparation

Multi-stage crushing for optimal smelting-ready sizes

3. Featured Equipment: Heavy-duty Shear

Technical Specifications:

 Hydraulic power unit: 350 bar operating pressure

Cutting blades: 4-sided rotating design (Hardox 600)

Maximum cutting force: 1,200 kN

Throughput capacity: 18-22 tons/hour

Operational Advantages:

60% longer blade lifespan vs conventional shears

35% energy reduction through optimized hydraulics

Integrated safety systems (overload protection, emergency stop)
