High toughness prevents knives from breaking

Scarp Shear Blades of stationary shears

Stationary scrap shears are primarily used in the recycling industry and are equipped with prismatic blades to crush especially non-homogeneous scrap and large parts, such as rails, carriers and car parts and scrap metal. These application areas are exposed to high wear in which high-performance features of iKnives® are of excellent use as they have prolonged lifetime.

iKnives® Extra blades for stationary scrap have been developed with extremely hard and simultaneously though steel that substantially reduces chipping and flaking. Long-term tests have proven that the service life of iKnives® Extra could be extended by up to 40%!

We provide two types of Stationary scrap shears: iKnives® Extra and iKnives® Standard that do not only differentiate in their features – shown in the tables bellow - but also in the manufacturing steps.

Due to higher hardness of iKnives® Extra knives, the fine mechanical machining takes more efforts but the machining steps are shortened because of the hardened steel that is used for iKnives® Extra. Therefore, the manufacturing time for iKnives® Extra can be significantly reduced in comparison to iKnives® Standard or other types of steel.

iKnives® Extra
