Patent No. EP3868550 (titled "Method For The Treatment Of Scrap Metal On A Scrap Metal Recycling Site And Press-Cutter Or Press Or Cutter Used For This Method") was filed by Presses ET Cisailles Lefort on Jan 9, 2017. The application was issued on Feb 7, 2024.
Patent Summary
Self-propelled shear press that eliminates crane travel time by moving independently to scrap piles. A crawler or wheel base with individual motors lets the unit rotate and travel freely, while a remote control from the crane operator coordinates filling and processing. The machine cuts and compacts scrap in its tray, then ejects processed material to the rear before moving forward to the next pile. This setup removes the need for long crane trips, reduces fuel use and noise, and increases site storage capacity by eliminating maneuvering dead zones.
