Modular shear press

Abstract

A shear press (100) for scrap is described, comprising a machine body (105) defining a compaction channel (125) adapted to contain the scrap and guide it in a sliding manner along a predetermined advance direction (A), compaction means (155) coupled to the machine body (105) and adapted to compact the scrap in the compaction channel (125), and cutting means (180) coupled to the machine body (105) and positioned at one end of the compaction channel (125) to separate the compacted scrap into portions, wherein the machine body (105) comprises at least two mutually separable blocks, of which a first block (105A) to which the compaction means (155) and the cutting means (180) are coupled, and a second block (105B) defining a portion of the compaction channel (125) adapted to serve as a loading hopper for the scrap to be treated.
