Introduction to Guchuan Machinery and the GCE-28 Hydraulic Shear

Founded in 2010 in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, China, Jiangsu Guchuan Machinery Co., Ltd. is a leading manufacturer providing advanced construction and demolition attachments for the global market. With a focus on engineering innovation, durability, and efficiency, Guchuan delivers solutions that empower demolition contractors, recyclers, and heavy equipment operators worldwide. Among our standout products is the GCS18 Double Cylinder Metal Shear—a robust, precision-engineered attachment tailored for 15-22 ton excavators.

The GCS18 is more than just a tool; it’s a complete cutting solution for demolition and scrap processing. This double-cylinder shear combines exceptional structural strength with advanced hydraulic technology, enabling efficient, controlled cutting of steel profiles, industrial scrap, and structural components. This guide provides a technical and practical overview of the GCS18, giving equipment managers and contractors the information they need to make an intelligent investment.

Technical Specifications & Design Overview

The GCS18 is designed for optimal performance in rigorous environments. Key specifications include:

Key Design Interpretations:

• Double Cylinder Power:
  The dual hydraulic cylinders provide balanced, synchronized force, maximizing cutting efficiency and stability, even on tough materials.

• Optimized Jaw Geometry:
  The 400mm opening and 450mm cutting depth enable the shear to grip and cut large beams, pipes, and bundled scrap in a single cycle.

• High Cutting Force (Up to 100 Tons):
  Delivers the power needed to process heavy structural steel, industrial scrap, and demolition debris with ease.

• Robust Construction:
  Manufactured from high-toughness, wear-resistant steel plates (e.g., TDNM450), the main body resists flex, fatigue, and abrasion for extended service life.

Core Engineering & Technological Principles

• Engineering Principles & Key Technologies

  1. Advanced Double Cylinder Hydraulic System
     The GCS18’s twin-cylinder actuation system ensures even pressure distribution and synchronized blade movement, minimizing stress concentrations and maximizing cut quality. This setup also provides rapid cycle times and more controlled, stable cutting compared to single-cylinder alternatives.

  2. Premium Blade Material and Design
     Utilizing imported, high-alloy steel for the cutting blades, the GCS18 maintains exceptional edge sharpness, resists chipping, and delivers hundreds of hours of reliable service—even when processing high-tensile steel and scrap.

  3. Heavy-Duty Pivot and Mounting System
     Oversized, heat-treated pins and bushings ensure a tight, durable connection to the excavator, efficiently transferring hydraulic power and minimizing attachment wear.

  4. Efficient Hydraulic Channeling
     Internal fluid paths are engineered for high flow and minimal pressure drop, ensuring consistent shear speed and power without overloading the carrier’s hydraulic system.

  
  

  Primary Applications & Industry Use Cases

  • Demolition of Metal Structures:
    Easily cuts through building frames, steel beams, and reinforced concrete rebar in demolition sites.

  • Scrap Processing & Recycling:
    Ideal for processing scrap steel, pipes, automotive frames, and industrial machinery—preparing material for shredding or transport.

  • Industrial Dismantling:
    Efficiently dismantles machinery, conveyor systems, and plant structures, streamlining site clearance and recycling operations.

  • Utility & Emergency Response:
    Can be deployed for rapid clearing of steel debris in disaster recovery or utility maintenance scenarios.

  
  

  Competitive Advantages & Key Features

  1. Double Cylinder Efficiency:
     Synchronized cylinders deliver powerful, stable cutting with minimal blade twist or misalignment—resulting in cleaner cuts and longer blade life.

  2. Versatility:
     Compatible with all major 15–22 ton excavator brands, with a universal mounting design for easy integration into your fleet.

  3. Durable & Low Maintenance:
     Premium steel construction and advanced sealing systems minimize downtime and reduce the frequency of service interventions.

  4. Operator Safety & Control:
     Smooth, controlled jaw movement and excellent visibility allow for precise, safe operation from the cab.

  5. Cost-Effective Processing:
     High cutting efficiency and long service intervals translate into lower total cost of ownership and higher productivity for demolition and recycling projects.
