Danieli releases new line of incline shears

Italy-based Danieli has released a new line of incline shears. The company says the line was created to help steel mills produce metals for recycling to meet their melt shop requirements.

The DIS inclined scrap shear is a gravity feed shear, which can yield more than 330 cutting cycles per hour and features hydraulic engineering. 

According to Danieli, the DIS line can deliver dense scrap through its heavy-duty side-squeeze block and serrated design, applying four to five times the compression force of horizontal shears. Danieli says the shears’ cutting length control mechanism, or sizing door, solves problems associated with poor cutting length control and overflowing scrap.

The quick blade change system allows operators to take out one set of blades while still in their blade seat, something Danieli compares to a modern shaving razor. A new seated blade set can then be slid into place using the hydraulic blade changing system, which the company says keeps technicians away from the shear throat while avoiding the heavy lifting associated with blade changes. The main cylinder is oversized and contains a coating on the rod and seals and bushings.

The DIS series shear is available in either a 2,000 or 1,600 cutting force and is best suited for facilities not requiring the production of bundles and bales, the company says.
