Crocodile-type Hydraulic Shears

Because they are typically powered by a hydraulic cylinder, crocodile-type hydraulic shears are powerful and able to cut through otherwise hard materials. The use of a hydraulic cylinder essentially applies pressure that forces the crocodile-type hydraulic shear's blade through the workpiece. Whether the workpiece is made of iron, steel, copper or other hard materials, it can probably be cut using this type of shearing machine.

Crocodile-type hydraulic shears also produce little or no waste. Like with all shearing processes, no chips are formed during this cutting process. Rather, they perform clean cuts that don't produce chips. This makes crocodile-type hydraulic shears an efficient solution for cutting workpieces.

Although there are other processes available to cut through hard materials, many of them involve heat. Heat, of course, can change the physical properties of a workpiece. If a workpiece is exposed to heat, it may become weaker. Crocodile-type hydraulic shears don't use heat, though, making them preferable among manufacturing companies. 

Crocodile-type hydraulic shears play an important role for metal recyclers by cutting things down to size – literally – enabling shredders to handle oversized materials that would otherwise be difficult or sometimes impossible to digest. They also allow the recycler to "clean" or prepare scrap for shredding by removing unwanted fittings or other parts the shredder may not accept. This adds value to the scrap and improves the quality of the finished frag.

Crocodile-type hydraulic shears have cylinders with brake and chrome-plated and tempered rods. In addition, the gaskets used have been devised specifically for high speeds and pressures.

Crocodile-type hydraulic shears may it easy to cut through sheet metal. Also known as lever shears, they feature a lever-like blade. You can cut pieces of sheet metal by placing them through the jaws of crocodile-type hydraulic shears. When engaged, the blade will slide through the sheet metal. While crocodile-type hydraulic shears are easy to use, however, they require proper safety precautions to protect against injury.

Inspect the guard
Before using crocodile-type hydraulic shears, take a minute to inspect the guard. The guard is located around the blade. It's designed to block projectiles of metal waste. When cutting sheet metal, small pieces of debris may shoot out from the blade. The guar will block these projectiles so that they don't cause injury. If the guard is missing or broken, avoid using the crocodile-type hydraulic shears
 

Keep hands away from blade
Like with all cutting tools, you should keep your hands away from the blade when using crocodile-type hydraulic shears. Crocodile-type hydraulic shears have an ultra-sharp blade. After all, they are used to cut through sheet metal. Most crocodile-type hydraulic shears are capable of cutting through both aluminum and steel. To protect against injury, keep your hands away from the blade at all times when using crocodile-type hydraulic shears.
 

Wear impact-resistant safety glasses
Don't forget to wear impact-resistant safety glasses when using crocodile-type hydraulic shears. Cutting sheet metal with crocodile-type hydraulic shears can create projectiles. While crocodile-type hydraulic shears are required to have a guard, some of these projectiles may make their way past this barrier and into your eyes. Impact-resistant safety glasses will protect you from eye injuries due to projectiles. Impact-resistant safety glasses are designed to withstand impact without breaking.
 

Identify the emergency stop button
Most crocodile-type hydraulic shears have an emergency stop button. When pressed, it will automatically disable the cutting blade. You should identify this emergency stop button before using crocodile-type hydraulic shears. Make sure you know where it's located in case of emergency. If the crocodile-type hydraulic shears malfunction, you can press the emergency stop button to disable the cutting blade.
 

Follow maintenance requirements
All crocodile-type hydraulic shears have maintenance requirements. Depending on the particular type, you may need to change the oil and apply lubricant. You'll probably need to replace the blade on occasion as well. Make sure you stay on top of these maintenance requirements. Neglecting to maintain crocodile-type hydraulic shears can result in damage or bodily injury. 

Crocodile-type hydraulic shears are hydraulic cutting tools used to cut and process various types of scrap metal. On the other hand, catalytic converter shears are a specialized cutting tool used specifically for processing catalytic converters.

● Determine why you need crocodile-type hydraulic shears
Before you can start shopping for crocodile-type hydraulic shears, it's essential to determine your cutting needs. What types of scrap metal will you be processing? How thick are the materials you'll be cutting? How frequently will you need to use your them? These are all critical questions when selecting the right tool for your recycling business.
Be sure to consider your cutting needs carefully before making a final decision. If you are cutting thick, heavy-duty materials like steel and aluminum, you'll need a more powerful crocodile-type hydraulic shear with a higher cutting force. On the other hand, if you are processing lighter materials like copper wire, an electric wire stripper or copper wire stripper may be a better option.

● Choose the right size
Crocodile-type hydraulic shears come in various sizes, from small handheld tools to massive industrial machines. The size you choose will depend on the amount of scrap metal you'll be processing and the space available in your facility.
A handheld crocodile-type hydraulic shear may be sufficient for working with smaller scrap metal. These tools are lightweight and portable, making them ideal for cutting small pieces of metal. However, if you're processing larger amounts of scrap metal, you'll need a larger crocodile-type hydraulic shear with a higher cutting capacity.

● Consider the cutting force
It's essential to choose an crocodile-type hydraulic shear with a cutting force that's appropriate for the types of materials you'll be cutting. The cutting force is the pressure an crocodile-type hydraulic shear can exert on a piece of metal. Some crocodile-type hydraulic shears have a cutting force of just a few tons, while others can exert pressure over 100 tons.
Remember that a higher cutting force doesn't necessarily mean a better tool. If you are processing lighter materials, a lower cutting force may be more than sufficient. On the other hand, if you are working with thicker, heavier materials, you'll need an crocodile-type hydraulic shear with a higher cutting force.

● Look for additional features
In addition to cutting force, there are several other features to consider when selecting an crocodile-type hydraulic shear for your recycling business. Some additional features to look for include:
Automatic or manual operation: Crocodile-type hydraulic shears can be either automatic or manual. Automatic ones are more efficient and require less effort to operate, while manual shears require more physical labor but are generally more affordable.
Blade size and shape: The size and shape of the blade will impact the type of materials you can cut with your crocodile-type hydraulic shear. Be sure to select a blade appropriate for the materials you'll be working with.
Safety features: Crocodile-type hydraulic shears can be dangerous tools if not used properly. Look for models with safety features like blade guards and emergency shut-off switches to minimize the risk of injury.
