Indeco ISS hydraulic shears: maximum cutting efficiency to reduce costs and environmental impact

22 July 2025
Hydraulic recycling shears play a strategic role in the circular economy. Today, the steel industry is largely sustained by ferrous materials from recycling. In this scenario, Indeco ISS recycling shears are essential tools for optimising scrap sorting, reducing waste and increasing productivity.

Economic benefits: higher productivity, lower costs

Indeco ISS hydraulic shears are designed to boost the efficiency of demolition and material treatment operations. Featuring a non-deformable and highly resistant HARDOX® steel structure, they ensure long work cycles without interruptions, thus reducing maintenance costs and extending the service life of the equipment. One of the strengths is the regeneration valve, which makes the jaw open and close faster, thereby shortening cutting cycles and increasing productivity. The larger hydraulic cylinder, specially designed by Indeco, keeps on delivering power under any working condition while the high-pressure seals (up to 700 bar) ensure the utmost reliability over time. The precision of the cut – made possible by an integrated dual guide system on the jaw – allows the operator to work with excellent precision, reducing waste and all ensuing disposal costs. In addition, the interchangeability of the blades and the “quick change” design of the bushes reduce machine downtimes for maintenance. The result? Lower operating costs, faster cuts, less energy wasted, less wear, and therefore a better return on investment for companies operating in the field of metal recycling, tyre cutting and the demolition of vehicles and industrial equipment.

Environmental benefits: less waste, more recycling

From an environmental point of view, Indeco ISS shears contribute to a more sustainable processing of materials. A precise cut ensures the excellent separation of metal components, resulting in cleaner deliveries to foundries and a higher rate of recovery. This means less waste material and less use of landfills. Furthermore, the efficiency of the cutting cycle and the option of using biodegradable oils limit the risk of soil and water contamination, especially in operations such as tyre cutting or complex material treatment. ISS shears are also designed to reduce fuel consumption thanks to shorter work cycles, thus contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions. It is no coincidence that the Indeco ISS range is used in applications with a high environmental impact, such as the scrapping of vehicles, the conversion of railway carriages, the cutting of steel tanks and beams, and even the sorting and handling of scrap.

An ally of tomorrow’s industry

Now that the recycling industry plays a key role in international markets, having cutting-edge recycling equipment is essential. Not only are INDECO ISS scrap shears compatible with machines of various sizes, they are also available with a fixed or 360° rotating assembly, ensuring versatile use and positioning precision. Basically, Indeco ISS hydraulic metal cutting shears are a state-of-the-art solution for those working in the recycling sector. They offer the perfect combination of cost savings, technical performance and respect for the environment, setting the standard in the world of hydraulic recycling shears and taking yet another step towards a smarter, safer and more efficient recycling economy.
