Scrap cutter: industrial shears for efficient scrap management

In sheet metal processing, the scrap cutter (or scrap shears) is an essential component for optimising production processes and managing material residues. These industrial machines, integrated into press feeding lines, are designed to cut and break up scrap, i.e. the residual sheet metal strip left over after shearing, making it easily disposable and ready for recycling.

At Elmea, we design and manufacture scrap shears that work in perfect synchronisation with the press cycle, making automatic cuts with each stroke or after a preset number of cycles. This ensures a continuous workflow and reduces clutter in production.

Our scrap cutters stand out for:

• Compactness and ease of installation: compact design that can be easily positioned near the press, without the need for complex mechanical couplings
• Operational versatility: adjustable body on the pedestal to set the optimal angle of entry of the scrap into the cutting mouth
• High productivity: ability to cut multiple strips simultaneously, increasing the speed of operations
• Structural strength: electro-welded steel structure to ensure durability and reliability over time
• Reduced maintenance: high-quality components selected to minimise maintenance
