Scrap shears of the future - energy-efficient and EED-compliant

The metal recycling industry is facing new challenges: The Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) obliges operators of recycling plants to measurably reduce their energy consumption. This not only increases the pressure to work in an energy-efficient manner, but is also increasingly becoming an economic necessity due to high energy prices. Time to switch to sustainable technologies!

Hydraulic scrap shears are inefficient

Hydraulic scrap shears utilise an inefficient drive, as the hydraulic circuit is often operated continuously under high pressure, regardless of whether the shear is working or not. This leads to energy losses due to heat generation, unnecessary continuous operation of the hydraulic pump and inefficient energy consumption.

Retrofit: Frequency inverter and energy management software for your scrap shears

Our solutions make your scrap shears more efficient, cost-effective and fully EED-compliant - so that you can work sustainably and secure competitive advantages.

Advantages of an efficient drive system for your hydraulic scrap shears at a glance

Save energy costs with an efficient drive

An electric drive with speed control is ideal for driving scrap shears, as it precisely adjusts the motor power to the actual demand, minimises energy losses and enables more efficient, consistent operation.

Conformity with the Energy Efficiency Act EED

The switch to an electric drive for the scrap shears fulfils the requirements of the EED Act, as it represents a targeted measure to reduce energy consumption.

Auditable energy analysis

The new Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) 2023 calls for a greater reduction in energy consumption in the EU and the performance of energy audits, for which the energy management software can automatically generate an auditable report.

Subsidy-eligible solutions

Our energy management software is one of the software products currently recognised by BAFA as eligible for funding under the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy's "Federal funding for energy efficiency in industry - grant" directive.

Prospects for success and potential savings

Calculation: How much can I save?

An electric drive with speed control for your hydraulic scrap shears can save you €8,300 per year.

Calculation: When does the purchase amortise?

Converting the existing system to an electric drive system for hydraulic scrap shears amortises in approx. 3.4 years.
