A demolition shear and a piercing tip insert and nose configuration for a demolition shear which resists nose wear and resists retract forces exerted on the piercing tip insert in jamming situations and in the event of snagging of the piercing tip insert. The piercing tip insert includes first and second piercing tip halves, each half having an outer planar sidewall, a curved front wall extending laterally inward, and a bottom leg extending laterally inward defining a shearing edge and a piercing edge.

A shear blade is for a portable hydraulic cutting device having a blade body. The blade body has assembly and cutting regions, with a cutting edge in the cutting region. A contact surface is on one side of the cutting edge for an additional shear blade. An outer surface on the other side of the cutting edge acts on the object to be cut. A first surface portion of the outer surface extends away from the cutting edge along an orthogonal, which meets the contact surface at the cutting edge, or at an acute angle relative to the orthogonal. A second surface portion connects to the first surface portion at an acute angle to the orthogonal. A third surface portion connects to the second surface portion at an acute angle to the orthogonal. Angle is smaller than angle , which is smaller than angle .

A single-piece, indexable or repositionable tip blade for a demolition shear is disclosed which substantially or completely shrouds the tang of the moveable jaw on five-sides. According to the invention, the single piece defines a first and a second piercing edge such that the blade is reversible and can be rotated and provides two edges for shearing. The demolition blade is a one piece, join line free structure which shrouds the entire tang, to allow for maximum results whilst piercing. The single-piece demolition shear blade comprising a blade body (401), said blade body comprising a cavity for receiving the tang of a moveable jaw of a demolition shear therein; said blade body having spaced apart first (413) and second (414) piercing edges; said indexable demolition shear blade being removably attachable to a jaw of a demolition shear in either a first or a second position; the indexable demolition shear blade being rotatable 180? between said first and second position; wherein, in said first position, said first piercing edge (413) is presented for piercing use and in said second position said second piercing edge (414) is presented for piercing use; and in either the first or the second position, the single-piece demolition shear blade substantially shrouds the tang of said moveable jaw of a demolition shear.

A production line for recycling and processing waste materials of steel rolling, the production line including: an electromagnetic hoisting equipment; a conveying platform; a clamping-and-feeding device; a segmentation shear; a swing conveyor device; a pushing device; a rolling-type shearing machine; a chain-type conveyor track; a material guiding device; two shredding-type shearing machines; and a scrap collection device. The electromagnetic hoisting equipment is connected to the conveying platform, and is configured to hoist waste materials of steel rolling to the conveying platform; the conveying platform is connected to the clamping-and-feeding device, and is configured to convey the waste materials to the clamping-and-feeding device; the segmentation shear cooperates with the clamping-and-feeding device and is configured to segment the waste materials of steel rolling into steel plates; the pushing device is configured to push the steel plates to the rolling-type shearing machine.

An actuator pin incorporating a lateral stabilizer for an upper jaw of a demolition shear. The actuator pin includes a head. The head has an outer periphery configured to be receivable within a complimentary configured keeper attached to one side of the clevis end of the actuator such that the head is rotationally fixed with respect to the keeper. A pin cap is secure to a distal end of the pin. The pin cap has an outer periphery configured to be receivable within a complimentary configured keeper attached to another side of the clevis end of the actuator such that the pin cap is rotationally fixed with respect to the keeper.

A slitting machine for threading scrap material includes first and second arbors; rotary knives disposed on each of the first and second arbors; and a pair of notching modules positioned on opposite ends of the first and second arbors. The notching modules each has a pair of shear knives for making multiple cuts in a strip of material passing through the slitting machine forming notches to enable threading of material to scrap chutes from the slitting machine.

A machine that applies both cutting and shearing action to casting-type metal debris and scrap (hereafter debris), and thus efficiently reduces both brittle and ductile metals to a useful size. The machine comprises a fixed anvil and a reciprocating jaw, the anvil defining an array of spaced anvil plates and the jaw defining a complementary array of spaced jaw V-shaped jaw bars whose upper and lower legs or lobes are alternately reciprocated in an arc into and out the anvil plate array.

A one piece four-sided hardened steel boot tip for a distal end upper jaw tang of a heavy duty demolition shear having a upper movable shear jaw with a shear tip or tang. The tang has a front edge, side faces with apertures therethrough, a top seat, a rear seat and a bottom seat. The boot tip has a front wall seated on the tang front edge and a right side wall seated on the shear side tang face, rear seat and the top seat. A bottom wall of the boot tip is seated on the tang bottom seat and rear seat forming a shear punching edge between the front wall and the bottom wall. An access plate is seated on the guide side tang face, the top seat and the rear seat. The boot tip right side and access plate have matching apertures therethrough and alignable with the tang apertures to secure the boot and access plate to the tang. One or more shims may be used against the tang faces.

A shearing blade for a cutting device includes a main body that has a seat and a blade insert that is arranged on the seat and forms a cutting wedge, wherein the cutting wedge forms a cutting edge via a flank face and a pressure face at an angle to the flank face. The seat has at least one undercut face that acts in a direction transverse to the flank face. When the blade insert is inserted, the undercut face interacts with at least one form-closure face formed on the blade insert, whereby a form closure taking effect transversely to the flank face is established. The blade insert is fastened to the main body by at least one pin-shaped plug-in connection element, which is oriented perpendicular to the flank face and which is arranged in aligned holes in the main body and in the blade insert.

A tool attachment system for demolition, recycling, and/or material processing applications wherein a platform is part of a jaw of a jaw set. A segment with working surfaces is attached to the platform such that the segment shields the platform from a workpiece. Additionally, the segment may be customized for a particular task thereby providing optimum performance.
