What are the benefits of a steel grabber?

Mar 18, 2025

At present, when the resource recycling industry processes waste materials, due to the limitation of indoor space, it usually uses wheeled and chained steel grabbers to feed balers and shears in the open air. However, this type of steel grabber has several shortcomings.

1、The height of the grab hopper is not enough, the arm rotation radius is small, and it needs to move back and forth in the cargo yard.

2、The cost of use is high. Since wheeled and chained steel grabbers use diesel as fuel, the energy consumption is particularly high.

3、The equipment investment cost is high, and the one-time equipment investment is generally as low as one million yuan.

The fixed steel grabber basically solves the shortcomings of the current use of wheeled and chained steel grabbers. Due to the increase in the height of the grabbing material, the scrap steel grabber can be directly sent to the shearing machine, baler, and crusher, eliminating the waste conveying device, which not only saves the equipment purchase cost, but also reduces the use cost due to the use of electricity as a direct energy source. It is calculated that the energy cost of the equipment when working is 80% lower than before.

Compared with the existing technology, the fixed steel grabber has the following beneficial effects:

1. Due to the increased grabbing height, the material conveying device is omitted, and the equipment cost is reduced;

2. The equipment cancels the mobile travel mechanism and installs the rotary platform on the fixed seat. Compared with the mobile type, the hydraulic control system is simplified and the cost of the whole machine is reduced;

3. The fixed working position is adopted to facilitate the overall layout of the site;

4. The use of motors as the source power reduces the daily use cost, reduces the pollution to the environment, and is energy-saving and environmentally friendly. Therefore, the fixed steel grabber has the advantages of easy installation, moderate price, safe operation, simple structure, and low maintenance cost.

At present, the fixed steel grabber has been successfully applied in steel mills, crushing plants, and large metal processing plants at home and abroad, and has effectively played its due role.
