DescriptionThe CAIMAN shears are professional hydraulic machines designed for cutting ferrous metals and copper cables in scrap recovery and metal processing plants. They combine controlled cutting cycles, operator safety systems and industrial-grade components to ensure repeatable results in recycling and demolition applications.
OperationMaterial is fed manually through a lateral protection door and clamped by a plate-holding press to stabilize the workpiece during cutting. The cutting cycle is initiated via an operator-presence foot pedal, ensuring continuous control by the operator.
