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.
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.
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.

| Holding cylinder | YG220/160, 1100 kN, stroke 1040 mm, 2 pcs |
| Side cylinder | YG180/120, 750 kN, stroke 650 mm, 2 pcs |
| Loading room size (L×W×H) | 8000 × 1950 × 900 mm |
| Max scrap can be cut | Round Ø125 mm; Square 120×120 mm; Q235 plate 60×1700 mm |
| Cutting width / min mouth | 2000 / 500 mm |
| Cutting length / loading height | 630 / 1030 mm |
| Cutting frequency (unload) | 3 times/min (theory) |
| Cutting angle | 9° |
| System working pressure | 27.5 MPa |
| Motor power | 225 kW, 380V / 3-phase / 50Hz |

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.
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.
Q1: Why choose a guillotine shear for heavy scrap sizing?
It produces consistent cut pieces with controlled holding, reducing re-handling and dispatch delays.
Q2: What scrap forms fit this model best?
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.
