Protect your investment with the complete TAURUS protection system

Taurus shear balers are available with different levels of protection. The new covering system has been designed to protect the vulnerable components of the shear baler from possible damage caused by falling scrap, collisions with material handlers or other vehicles and also to protect the shear from the adverse weather conditions.
The TAURUS shear protective system comes with 4 separate levels of protection to suit each individual users needs. Level 1 protection comes as standard with every new TAURUS shear baler sold while options 2 – 4 are optional.

Level. 1 – Wing cylinder protection and wing positioning sensor (KNEE) protection (photo 1): The hydraulic cylinders used to move the compacting wings and the rotary wing positioning sensor are fully protected by thick steel plates. The protective plates are painted to protect against corrosion and can easily be removed for maintenance requirements.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Level 2. Shear Head protection, partial and full (photo 2): The new optional protective cover over the TAURUS shear head (partial protection) protects the otherwise vulnerable hydraulic pipes as well as the shear and clamp cylinder. The protection covers are removable to facilitate quick and easy maintenance operations. By request, the entire shear head including the shear head sides can be covered by thick steel plates (full protection). The shear head “full protection” option also effectively protects the shear head adjustment pins and the auto lube system and are also hinged for quick and easy access to all components for servicing.

 

 

 

 

 

Level 3. Lower frame protection (photo 3): On request, the hydraulic pipes which run along side the lower supporting frame can be protected with thick steel plates. The steel plates allow easy access to the pipes for inspection and general maintenance operations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Level 4. Hydraulic unit and motor protection (foto4): The hydraulic unit and motor are protected by thick steel plates with either 2 or 4 doors for easy access. In hotter climates the protective cover can be designed with an integrated mesh to allow the air to circulate. For yards which work in built up or noise sensitive areas, the inside of the covers can have sound proofing mats fitted. The protection system also protects the motor and hydraulic systems from the effects of the weather and in particular ice and snow.

TAURUS BLACKLINE Inclined Shears

TAURUS BLACKLINE series inclined shears with an open box and continuous feed system are perfect for shearing high-density voluminous mixed scrap, collected scrap and especially bulky and oversized demolition scrap.
Inclined shears are less expensive than shears which use a compression chamber as they are lighter, require fewer moving parts, less machining, less assembly time, use a simpler hydraulics system with fewer cylinders and of course there is no need for a separate compression box… Although less expensive they certainly don’t lack anything when it comes to quality or, most importantly, productivity output.
Today, Taurus inclined shears are designed and manufactured to perfectly meet the new specifications and requirements demanded by the operators of electric arc furnaces. Electric arc furnaces require that the processed scrap completely comply with precise supply conditions set down by legislators and the steel mills. Taurus inclined shears process scrap in such a way that they easily reach these high quality standards as well as the atmospheric emissions requirements during the melting phase. Slag reduction requirements are met while simultaneously lowering production costs by producing a cleaner feed stock more efficiently than other machines on the market.

Inclined shears are designed and built in a way that resists the complex and high stresses placed on them during the compression and shearing of scrap metal.

All Taurus Black line incline shears are built in from quality certified steel sheet metal combined with high strength wear-resistant Hardox steel in areas where it is most needed.

The submerged arc welding used throughout the production process creates consistent and uniform welding seams which have a much higher resistance to fatigue stress than more traditional forms of welding.

All components which make up the inclined shears are mechanically machined on high precision Computer Numerical Control (CNC) centres. The use of CNC machines guarantees a precise coupling of key components and removes the need for subsequent post assembly adjustments which in turn ensures the correct and easy interchangeability of replacement parts.

The main advantage of inclined shears is that they cut production costs due to their great versatility. Inclined shears can process virtually any type of scrap from profiles and sheet steel to voluminous mixed scrap, heavy demolition and especially oversized or extra-long scrap.

Inclined shears use an open box continuous feeding systems where as conventional shears utilise a pre compression box to store and compress the scrap before shearing. The advantages of an open box system compared to the compression box system are:

• The length of scrap to be processed is not restricted by the length of the compression box, even very long and bulky material can be easily processed.
• A simpler design means less moving parts and lower maintenance costs.
• Lower operator costs. As the shear works autonomously and automatically there is no need for an independent operator. This means big savings on personnel costs.
• Small footprint. No compacting box and an angled feeding chamber means a compact design with little yard space required.
• Fast continuous operation. No delays due to the time taken to feed and compact scrap when using a shear with a compacting chamber. The loading chamber of the inclined shear can be fed continuously which means that the shear is cutting scrap 100% of the time.

TAURUS 4.0

Recently there has been a lot of talk about industry 4.0. But what does it actually mean? The term Industry 4.0 describes an evolutionary trend in industrial automation that incorporates new production technologies which improve working conditions, increase productivity and the overall production quality capabilities of automated manufacturing factories. Taurus have adapted their shear balers to market requirements and consumer demands by continuously investing in state-of-the-art automated manufacturing systems. It is no coincidence that over the last few months Taurus has introduced new operating functionality improvements to the radio control unit, touch screen and the RSS Remote Service System.
The remote control functions are programmed and configured according to customer needs with the following settings all possible remotely: shearing simulation, cutting length setting, multiple compression setting modes (high, medium or low level) and remote pre-compression functionality. The operator now needs only to turn on the shear baler after which he can work remotely from the cab of the material handler. Preset programs mean that many functions such as pre compression, compression and cutting cycles now work autonomously from the operator. Labor costs can be reduced by 50% as there is no need for an independent shear operator.
The touch screen or control panel allows you to schedule maintenance stops in a timely manner to reduce down time. Although there are many preset programs the operator can intervene at any time to fine tune the working parameters for optimal performance. The control panel constantly monitors and optimizes the compression and cutting process for higher production rates. Taurus´s many years of hands on experience with our customers has allowed us to preset different automated programs depending on the type of material being processed. Individual programs such as shear stroke setting, partial cut rate, pre-compression setting, relative and actual cycle timing can all be selected simply by pressing a button.
Finally, the Remote Service System (RSS) allows the after sales office to detect any abnormalities reported by the shear, which means they can intervene in a timely and effective manner to reduce down time. In most cases there is no need for a Taurus technician to travel to the customers yard. Special customer requests, fine tuning or program upgrades are now all done remotely.
At Taurus, industry 4.0 integration is only the start. New electrical and automated features are under development so stay tuned.
Taurus, always a step ahead!
