Multi Blade Shear vs Gantry Shear: Which One is Right for Your Scrap Processing Needs?

When it comes to scrap metal processing, choosing the right shear can significantly impact productivity and operating costs. Here’s a quick comparison between Multi Blade Shears and traditional Gantry Shears:

✅ Cutting Method

• Multi Blade Shear: Uses multiple blades for continuous shearing—one cut creates multiple pieces.

• Gantry Shear: Single blade, one cut = one piece.

✅ Efficiency

• Multi blade shear achieves up to 3 cuts per minute, with each cut producing several uniform pieces.

• Gantry shear also offers up to 3 cuts/min, but with only one piece per cut.

✅ Discharge Quality

• Multi blade shears deliver uniform output, usually with no need for secondary processing.

• Gantry shears often produce uneven sizes, requiring extra steps.

✅ Size Control

• Multi blade: Adjustable blade quantity allows flexible sizing.

• Gantry: Fixed blade size, no adjustment possible.

✅ Key Advantages of Multi Blade Shear

1. Higher Efficiency – One cut, multiple clean pieces

2. Flexible Sizing – Adjustable to meet different material specs

3. Lower Costs – Lower power use and investment, reduced processing time
