I could watch crushing and shearing videos all day. thanks, keep them coming! Please never add music to your videos. I love hearing the crunching metal sounds. Oddly satisfying.
It really is, so refreshing to see videos like this one with no more than the sounds of what's being videoed - rather than being replaced by the junk music ubiquitous throughout TH-cam. Almost all of which, sounds like a cat trying to be sick inside a cement mixer.
I think the music is built into the machine, all the sounds of metal and machine are natural music to listen to. Relaxing really in comparison to the trash everyone likes putting in for "music"
How has the Copex been for you since you installed it? It is truly satisfying to see this behemoth in action. What benefits have you found to using it?
No, heavy can't be baled, you couldn't compress girders into a bale. We bale some lighter material in the shear rather than just compress it and shear it, there are no set rules that decide this, just me and what I feel like doing with it on the day 😊
Can it shear very thick steel? I've come across some steel plate that was 6" thick. It looks like it can handle it. I've also seen very big steel beams that were about 3" thick and nearly 4 feet across.
@@markschofield9494 Oh, ok. I work at a very large chemical plant and when they scrap very large vessels such as heat exchangers that weigh nearly 60 tons, I wonder how they get processed. I once help decommission old large water chillers, they had steel end plates that were more than 15cm thick and about a meter tall and a meter wide. I haven't found a video where very large and very heavy scrap steel get processed. So if a company brought you a 60 ton steel vessel to scrap would you take it?
@@alvintorres8787 There are plenty of videos around of companies burning this sort thing or using demoloition shears/cleavers on large 360 machines to cut large tanks. thicker material is burnt using oxygen and propane usually, thermic lances used to be the way and still is to a certain extent. There are videos on Instagram and Flickr of us burning thicker steel. There are companies who specialise in this and they post a lot on Instagram, I see them every day.
I’m not sure now, if it had been mild steel it wouldn’t have been a problem but it was a type of SG and very hard, not hardened, as in it would damage the blades, just that it was going to shear with an almighty bang as it snapped, which is what it did, I was in two minds wether to put it in they shear….but you can see what I decided 😂

4:55 ist fast nicht zu glauben, welche Kraft hinter der 1000 Tonnenschere steckt. wooow
That's incredible that it melts through steel plate that thick. Seems to do it rather effortlessly.
The power is amazing.
ASMR at its best!
Impressive 😊
Awesome video!
impressive
Such a beast 😉😎

Do these sheared sections get baled later on in the process?
No, heavy can't be baled, you couldn't compress girders into a bale. We bale some lighter material in the shear rather than just compress it and shear it, there are no set rules that decide this, just me and what I feel like doing with it on the day 😊

No, although it would depend on the width, 6x6 or 6x8 inch then yes, the beams at that size, no.
200x200mm max bar size

damn, how thick was that shaft?

@@markschofield9494 thanks, interesting! what diameter mild steel shaft is the shear rated?
@@davidstud3952225mm or approx 9 inch according to the spec sheet
