Hydraulic shear Forfex-500

for scrap metalalligator

The Bronneberg Forfex-500 alligator shear is equipped with 500 mm blades. This hydraulic alligator shear is the ideal machine when it comes to the cleaning of light and medium sized non-ferrous materials. Furthermore this shear can be used for shearing ferrous materials like reinforcing bar and mild steel round bar too. This maintenance- and operator friendly shear is equipped with a mechanically adjustable hold-down clamp in combination with a safety guard over the cutting head. The hold down clamp prevents material from kicking back and therefore guarantees operator safety. The shear head is operated by a mechanical foot pedal for single or continuous cutting. The opening of the shear head can be adjusted by simply moving the end switch. To maximize the operator safety the shear head moves back to its starting position immediately when the operator removes his foot from the pedal.
