Hydraulic Shears

Indeco-Hydraulic-Shears

Shears and Rail Cutters

ISS and IRC Series

Vital tools for anyone working in the scrap metal or

recycling sectors, Indeco ISS Steel Shears stand out for their

cutting-edge design, for their extreme robustness and for

their technical innovations which substantially increase

their efficiency.

Rapid, efficient and surprisingly powerful, Indeco ISS shears

are the ideal choice for demolishing any type of metal

structure.

Indeco’s tried and tested continuous rotation hydraulic

system, found on all of our other rotating products, enables

the shear to work in the best possible position while its

large jaw opening, fast cycle times and its incredible cutting

power make all demolition operations fast and effective.

Special extra-strength HARDOX® alloy steel make ISS shears

outstandingly resistant and reliable. Each of the main knives

and guide-blades was designed with four cutting surfaces

so they can be rotated three times before replacement

thereby assuring more consistency, uptime and production

in your operation.

New addition to the range of Indeco products dedicated

to the recycling of ferrous materials, the IRC Rail-Cutting

Shears are hydraulic tools specifically designed for cutting

railway tracks, tramway rails, and underground rails,

made with heat-treated steel to withstand the enormous

forces. The special design of their jaws, combined with the

efficiency of the hydraulic system, and the sturdiness of the

structure in special HARDOX® steel, lets you cut rails up to

75 kg of mass per metre, with hardness up to 300 Brinell.

Two shear models available, IRC 20 and IRC 30, designed to

work on the various rail standards in the EU, USA, and Asian

countries.

Features of Indeco

hydraulic shears

The regeneration valve |1| speeds up no-load movement of

the jaw, which opens and closes more quickly, thus reducing

cycle times and increasing productivity.

The chassis |2|, made from extra-strength HARDOX® alloy

steel, eliminates any flexing of the shear body.

The unique integrated dual guide system |3| can be used

to adjust the alignment tolerance of the jaw and prevents it

from buckling during the cutting stroke.

The interchangeable “quick change” wear bushings |4|

ensure that the knives are always optimally aligned.

The heavy-duty pivot group |5| provides long-term cutting

efficiency, keeps jaws aligned and prevents buckling.

The innovative design |6| improves cutting efficiency

compared to similar products.

The large jaw opening |7| provides greater flexibility for

numerous applications.

The special insert bushings |8| are made from an anti-friction

material with a dust seal.

The large, powerful hydraulic cylinder |9| is an exclusive

Indeco design, and provides enough force to deal with any

type of working conditions. Its long-lasting seals are able to

withstand up to 700 bars of pressure.

The baseplate for the ISS in fixed configuration |10| makes

the attachment much lighter and less bulky, which means

that a larger shear can be used on the excavator.

The shears have full high-speed 360° hydraulic rotation |11|

for better positioning and optimal cutting in any working

position.

The mounting bracket for the 2nd-member configuration

|12| is used to mount the ISS straight onto the excavator

boom. In this configuration, ideal for recycling ferrous

material, a large attachment can be mounted even on a

relatively light carrier.

The universal baseplate for 2nd member mounting brackets

|13| is compatible with all carriers.

The 3rd member mounting bracket |14| is used to mount

the ISS on the carrier stick (bucket-mounted), ideal for

demolition jobs.

The attachment plate |15| is compatible with the plate for

Indeco hammers of similar weight.

In the latest design |16|, the shear is more compact with

a thicker casing, thus improving its manoeuvrability and

balance, as well as increasing its overall robustness.

Appetite guide

Indeco shears are designed to cut and reduce the size of

the most common materials used in demolitions in the

mechanical, naval and construction sectors. The figures set

out below refer to cutting capacity under normal working

conditions. Results may vary according to such factors as

how robust the material to be cut is, what condition the

shear blades are in, the characteristics of the carrier and the

operator’s ability. Appropriate maintenance of the shear is

crucial for maximum productivity of cutting operations.

*Refer to mild steel tubing and not to other materials such as stainless steel, cast steel etc.

**Blade thickness affect the shear’s capacity to pierce sheet metal in various applications

***These figures may vary for beams of different shapes, thicknesses and material

Structure |1| with an extremely robust design, entirely

made of HARDOX® 450 to withstand the strong stresses of

very heavy-duty work, and particularly compact to facilitate

coupling with machines with a wider weight range.

Large hydraulic cylinder |2|, to provide greater power and

to respond to the heaviest stresses, equipped with metal

alloy sliding components to ensure maximum reliability.

Wider maximum opening |3| than competitors, for greater

flexibility, being able to ‘process’ rails with the most diverse

profiles and dimensions on the global market.

The cutters |4| in special hardened material,

interchangeable and rotatable, can be used up to 4 times in

order to always have efficient cutting angles.

The specific design of the claws |5| and of the cutter profiles

enables the cutting of rails up to 75 kg mass per meter

(151 lb/yd) and up to 300 Brinell hardness.

The ‘quick change’ interchangeable wear bushings |6|

make it so that the cutters are always aligned optimally.

The exceptionally robust pivoting system |7| ensures

long-lasting cutting efficiency and keeps the jaws aligned,

preventing twisting.

Efficient and easily accessible hydraulic system |8|.

Full 360° hydraulic rotation system |9| for greater flexibility

and speed. Equipped with relief valves for flow and

pressure, it guarantees greater reliability, durability, and

positioning precision.

The attachment plate |10| is compatible with that of Indeco

hammers of the same weight.

The 3rd-member mounting bracket |11| lets you mount the

IRC on the carrier stick (bucket-mounted) of the excavator.

The 2nd-member mounting bracket |12| lets you mount the

IRC directly onto the excavator boom. In this configuration,

large equipment can be mounted even on a low weight

machine. The universal attachment plate for 2nd-member

mounting brackets is compatible with all excavators.
