Short but sweet. Dehaco presents the new SH Eagle III series

Being smart and efficient with metals of all kinds is, with rising prices of both new and recycled metals has never been more important. Dehaco's Eagle II scrap shears have been reliable and highly successful around the world for years. Suitable for cutting various types of steel. In this article, Dehaco presents the new SH Eagle III series. After more than 3,000 hours of development and more than 10,000 hours of testing, a new premium class of shears has emerged that is lighter, more compact and more powerful.

The overall length of the Eagle III shears is shorter and lighter in weight. This has the advantage of making the carrier more stable, which is essential for safe operation. Scrap shears are increasingly being combined with UHD machines, where stability is a requirement. Lower weight also means less fuel consumption, which is better for the environment. It is even possible to combine the shears with a smaller excavator. Again, saves money!

Often, shorter and lighter scissors mean a smaller maximum jaw opening. This is not the case with the Eagle III scissors. In fact, the jaw opening of this new series is larger than in the previous series. In addition to a larger opening, the jaws are also deeper, allowing steel to be cut even more effectively.

The Eagle III shears produce 20% more power thanks to a more powerful cylinder. In addition, new manufacturing processes were used during the development process. To ensure that all parts of the fixed and movable jaws remain as powerful as possible, these parts were cut with water. While cutting with water, much less temperature is introduced into the material, preserving its structure and properties.

Because water cutting is so precise, it also requires much less finishing of the jaws. Which also ensures that less temperature is introduced into the material. The big advantage of this is stronger shears. Which if properly maintained and fitted with the wear strips, will have a longer life. During development, the developments of excavators were also taken into account. Modern machines today have a working pressure of 380 bar, the Eagle III series can fully utilize this working pressure, making them stronger than ever.

Downtime for maintenance is never convenient, even if it's scheduled, you want to keep going. This new series of shears feature armor to minimize downtime. These wear parts ensure that the scissors' construction is not affected. No wear means no welding to the frame. Welding is not only time-consuming, it also puts a lot of temperature into the material. If the welding is not done the right way or if it has to be done often, it can change or even damage the structure of the shears.

The first Eagle III prototype has been extensively tested for the past two years. This shear has now performed 3,500 hours in harsh conditions. Under the watchful eye of Dehaco, the shears have proven themselves, so the series has been expanded to include several models. Eventually there will be an Eagle III for every carrier.
