How to maintain an alligator shear?

WHAT IS AN ALLIGATOR SHEAR? An alligator shear(alligator shearing machine) is also known as the  crocodile shear. The alligator shear is a type of cutting tool whcih is widely used to cut the waste metal in metalworking.  The alligator shear is similar to a pair of scissors, but with longer, heavier blades that are designed to cut through thicker materials such as sheet metal and rebar. The blades are usually serrated, allowing them to grip the material being cut and make a clean cut. Alligator shears are commonly used in fabrication shops ,industrial applications and also in metal recycling industries.     The alligator shearing machine is a samller type of the scrap metal shearing machine compared with the heavy duty gantry shear and tiger shear(super alligator shear) The alligator shear has the advantages of the samll volum and low price but limited cutting production,so the alligator shear is normally suitable for the samll recycling recycling centre or personal using. To improve the cutting speed and reduce the labor working, the alligator shear can be equipped with the feeding box. For much more the daily production demand, the customers can consider the other scrap metal shearing machines like: super alligator shear, container shear and the gantry shear. If you have the demand you can conatct us for the solutions.   HOW TO MAINTAIN AN ALLIGATOR SHEAR?   1. Clean the alligator shear regularly. Use a soft cloth to wipe away any dust or debris that may have accumulated on the blades and body of the shear. 2. Oil the alligator shear regularly. Apply a few drops of oil to the pivot points and other moving parts of the shear to keep them lubricated and functioning properly. 3. Sharpen the blades of the alligator shear when necessary. This should be done by a professional sharpener, as it requires special tools and expertise to do correctly. 4. Inspect the alligator shear for any signs of wear or damage, such as bent or broken blades, loose screws, or worn out handles. If any damage is found, have it repaired immediately by a qualified technician to ensure its safe operation.

Introduction of Alligator shear

Introduction of Alligator shear

Alligator shears are called crocodile shears, which are named for their crocodile-like shape. They are widely used in metal recycling companies, scrap steel factories, and smelting enterprises. The alligator shears can cold-cut scrap metal structures with different cross-sectional shapes and process them into qualified furnace materials. In general, alligator shears are more suitable for personal scrap metal recycling stations. The alligator shearing machine is equipped with an integrated electromagnetic valve device for rapid pressure regulation, which can cut about 8-9 times a minute, and the shearing speed is twice as high as the original one. Features of crocodile shears Adopt hydraulic drive, easy to operate and easy to repair. Working blade length: 400mm, 600mm, 700mm, 800mm, 1000mm, 1200mm, 8 levels of shear force from 63 tons to 400 tons. The shearing machine with a knife edge of more than 700mm is suitable for cutting scrapped cars. The installation does not need anchor screws, and the diesel engine can be used as power in places without power supply. The alligator shear adopts hydraulic transmission. Compared with the mechanical transmission shearing machine, it has the advantages of small size, light weight, low inertia, low noise, stable movement, convenient operation, sensitivity, large cutting section, and convenient adjustment of the scissors. It is safe to operate and use, and it is easy to realize overload protection. Precautions for using crocodile shears The crocodile shears must be filled with oil before each shift, and the places with butter nozzles must be buttered. It is strictly forbidden for non-designated personnel to operate the crocodile shears, and it is necessary to stop the machine without people. Regularly check the travel switch, solenoid valve connector, and hydraulic oil on the back of the crocodile shears.
