1. With a 700 mm blade and 320 mm max. jaw opening, AS-1600 crocodile shear handles larger and thicker scrap metal.
2. 1600 KN Cutting Force: Offering strong shearing force for cutting angle steel, square bars, steel sections, and other heavy scrap metals with ease.
3. 12~20 Cuts per Minute: Short cutting cycles help process more scrap in less time, improving daily productivity and overall yard efficiency.
4. 60Si2CrV Blades: Resisting wear and impact, and 4 blades can be interchanged, greatly reducing replacement and maintenance downtime.
AS-1600 heavy-duty crocodile shear is a practical solution for scrap yards that need to cut long and bulky metal waste more efficiently. The 1600 KN cutting force allows you to handle angle steel, steel bars, metal sections, plates, waste cables, and other common scrap materials with ease. By cutting oversized scrap into shorter, manageable pieces, AS-1600 is well suited for scrap yards, metal recycling facilities, and steel processors looking for reliable, continuous scrap cutting.
Minor operates a scrap yard in Costa Rica, where bulky mixed metal scrap - mainly aluminum sections up to 2 inches thick and 6 inches high - was taking up valuable space and slowing down daily operations, so we recommended AS-1600 hydraulic crocodile shearing machine for efficient scrap metal cutting and size reduction.
Before shipment, we fully tested Minor's AS-1600 hydraulic crocodile shear and sent him a video of his actual machine in operation. He could clearly see the cutting performance and confirm everything was working smoothly before delivery.
During the factory test, AS-1600 crocodile shear completed each cutting cycle smoothly and consistently. After watching the full test video, Minor was very satisfied with the result and commented:"The shear looks great - very smooth and powerful. I can't wait to get it running in my yard. This is exactly what I needed."
Built on the proven split-type design of AS-1000 shear, AS-1600 crocodile shearing machine offers higher cutting force and wide cutting range. It is a better choice when you need to process larger, thicker, or harder materials.

Heavy-duty frame and wear-resistant blades mean fewer replacements, less downtime, and lower routine maintenance costs.
Voltage, machine color, and guarding can be customized to suit your power supply, site layout, and operating requirements.
Fast cutting cycles keep material moving, helping you process more scrap during daily operation.
Follow these basic safety precautions to keep your AS-1600 crocodile shearing machine operating safely, smoothly, and reliably.
1. Operate Within the Rated Cutting Capacity
Always stay within the machine's specified cutting range. Never cut sealed containers, flammable or explosive materials, or scrap that exceeds the recommended hardness. Keep the cutting area clean and free from loose debris.
2. Check the Blades Regularly
Inspect the cutting blades for wear, cracks, or damage. Adjust, rotate, or replace them when necessary to maintain stable cutting performance and reduce unnecessary stress on the machine.
3. Keep Clear of the Cutting Area
Never place your hands or body near the blades or hold-down arm while the machine is running. If material becomes jammed, stop the machine completely and make sure all moving parts have stopped before clearing the blockage.
4. Coordinate Clearly When Working as a Team
If two or more operators are involved, assign clear responsibilities and communicate before feeding material, starting a cutting cycle, or removing scrap. Good coordination helps prevent accidents and improves workflow.
5. Leave Hydraulic Adjustments to Qualified Personnel
Do not adjust hydraulic pumps, valves, pressure settings, or other critical components without proper training. Maintenance and repairs should be carried out by qualified technicians to ensure safe and reliable operation.
AS-1600 crocodile shear handles a wide range of scrap materials - from light gauge steel to heavy structural sections.
• Bars & Structural Steel: Rebar, round bars, square bars, angle steel, and small steel sections
• Pipes & Profiles: Scrap pipes, metal profiles, and other long metal pieces.
• Sheets & Plates: Scrap steel sheets, metal plates, and similar flat materials.
• Other daily scrap: Cable wire, faucet etc.
AS-1600 crocodile shear is packed in a heavy-duty export wooden crate for safe international shipping. The shearing unit and hydraulic power unit are securely braced and protected to minimize movement, moisture, and impact during transit.
AS-1600 crocodile shear is already helping customers across the globe improve metal recycling efficiency - from small scrap yards to large metal processors.
Q1: What's the difference between single-cycle and continuous modes of AS-1600 crocodile shear?
A1: Please choose based on your processing needs.
• Single-cycle mode completes one clamp–cut–return cycle each time you activate it, giving you more control when processing irregular or mixed scrap.
• In continuous mode, AS-1600 crocodile shearing machine repeats the cycle automatically, making it more efficient when processing larger volumes of similar scrap.
Q2: How do I know if AS-1600 crocodile shear can cut my scrap?
A2: Just send us photos of your materials and thickness. We'll check whether AS-1600 industrial crocodile shear is suitable and recommend the right alligator shearing machine.
Q3: What hydraulic oil temperature of AS-1600 crocodile shear should I maintain?
A3: Check the oil level/temperature gauge regularly during operation. If the oil temperature is below 0°C, warm up the system before heavy operation. If it rises above 70°C, stop the machine and allow the system to cool before restarting.
