S2 Manufacturing, which offers equipment for the scrap recycling industry and other markets under the brand names Aljon, Bonfiglioli and Vammas, is expanding its Bonfiglioli product lineup with the addition of the Squalo 1200 horizontal shear.

Designed for low operating costs and ease of use, Ottumwa, Iowa-based S2 says the shear can be set up in minutes. Aljon will showcase the Squalo 1200 at Booth A3 at the upcoming Recycled Materials Association (ReMA) Convention & Exposition, held May 12-15, in San Diego.

S2 says the shear is designed for use by a single operator and features an automatic working cycle and shear head force of 850 tons. The company says it is highly productive and processes 15-18 tons per hour of mixed light scrap. It does not require a concrete foundation, only firm, level ground, and easily can be transported by truck because of its size. In addition, parts and service for the Squalo 1200 are available from Aljon.

“As the only distributor of Bonfiglioli products in North America, we are excited to expand our offerings with the Squalo 1200 horizontal shear, featuring low operating costs, easy transport and unmatched reliability,” Aljon Sales Manager Curt Spry says. “The Squalo 1200 is a practical, efficient and cost-effective solution for processing scrap.”

In addition to the Squalo 1200, Aljon offers the 580CL—a full-featured twin-ram logger/baler capable of processing 20-25 complete end-of-life cars, vans and pickups, including their engines, transmissions and running gear per hour. The distributor says the comfortable, climate-controlled cab is equipped with Aljon’s exclusive monitoring system that allows the operator to monitor machine functions as well as see the baling function in real time.
