“GIANT” THE SHEAR&BALER
"250 TONS OF MUSCLES"
The shear&baler “GIANT” is the evolution of the now consolidated and proven production of TAURUS scrap shearing machines, the synthesis of more than 50 years of proven experience, with more than 1000 shears&balers distributed all over the world.
The machine is the result of the development of experience acquired and a careful analysis aimed at identifying the solution to the problems that emerge from scrap processing.
With this line of shears&balers, important innovations have been introduced and realized; new machines in technical solutions, in performances, suitable to the times, adapted to the new needs.
THE GIANT SHEAR&BALER
The "GIANT" shears&balers, with "oscillating wing" compression box and over stroke on both wings, are extremely sturdy machines designed for heavy duty work and suitable for high density compacting and shearing of large quantities of mixed, bulky scrap, whether it comes from collection or demolition, as such and/or in bales.
GIANT" shears&balers have a limited footprint, concentrate their weight on structural parts subject to stress and wear, can be loaded from both sides and managed by a single operator.
The GIANT shear&baler is mounted on a welded steel support structure equipped with an original "VDP" self-levelling and anti-vibration plate system, which allows the machine to be mounted directly on a concrete surface, to isolate the system preventing the transmission of vibrations to the ground and to quickly and easily relocate the machine.
