  • Patent number: 11203171
    Abstract: A shear press for scrap including a machine body defining a compaction channel to contain the scrap and guide it in a sliding manner along a predetermined advance direction a compaction unit and blades. The compaction unit includes two mutually opposed jaws articulated to the machine bod according to axes of rotation parallel to each other and orthogonal to the advance direction of the scrap, and actuating members to rotate the jaws around the respective axes of rotation, in opposite directions, between an open configuration and a closed configuration. Each aw includes an operating surface to laterally de-limit the compaction channel when the jaw is in open configuration. The extreme point of a first rectilinear stretch with respect to the axis of rotation of the jaw is aligned to the latter along a direction of alignment which forms, with the first rectilinear stretch, an angle having its vertex facing the inner part of the compaction channel.

  • Publication number: 20200238407
    Abstract: A shear press (100) for scrap is described, comprising a machine body (105) defining a compaction channel (125) adapted to contain the scrap and guide it in a sliding manner along a predetermined advance direction (A), compaction means (155) coupled to the machine body (105) and adapted to compact the scrap in the compaction channel (125), and cutting means (180) coupled to the machine body (105) and positioned at one end of the compaction channel (125) to separate the compacted scrap into portions, wherein the machine body (105) comprises at least two mutually separable blocks, of which a first block (105A) to which the compaction means (155) and the cutting means (180) are coupled, and a second block (105B) defining a portion of the compaction channel (125) adapted to serve as a loading hopper for the scrap to be treated.

  • Publication number: 20150251372
    Abstract: A scrap compacting machine comprising a compacting channel in which a parallelepiped block of pressed scrap advances, a blade located at a downstream end of the channel, a portal structure having a vertical lie which is located above the end of the channel, in which a beam slides, which beam bears a blade complementary to the blade located at the end of the channel, at least a main activating hydraulic piston-cylinder group located between an architrave of the portal structure and the beam and in an adjacent position to each upright of the portal, at least an activating auxiliary hydraulic piston-cylinder group located between the respective upright and the respective end of the beam, said auxiliary piston-cylinder groups being activated by the same power hydraulic group that activates the at least a main hydraulic piston-cylinder group, and the overall active section of the auxiliary piston-cylinder groups being a fraction of the overall active section of the at least a main hydraulic piston-cylinder group.
