Copex S-Wing 1000 working hard

This is my longest post so far, it’s pretty much all of the Copex shearing heavy steel. I set my camera up and then get on with working the shear for a while, I then move the camera to a different, reasonably safe, spot and carry on. Later I edit the boring bits out and join up to a dozen clips together. It could be a bit long, we’ll see.

This is the best tidy junkyard I know! Bravo! There is order here!

Loved watching the shear in action, really enjoyed it 👍👍

You have come a long way in the last 20 years since I worked for you, Mark

I don't know how far I've come Dave but I'm still at Greenhead...and don't venture far from home, Marsden is international travel these days 😂

[@handdancin]

this is the best footage, its as soothing as watching ocean waves rolling in

[@markschofield9494]

Not so soothing at the side of it 😂

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

That's quite the machine. It's not much it won't take I imagine. Good stuff. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

Mark! Best video so far! I am wondering, can the length be changed when the Copex is cutting, or is it a standard length, or can you cut shorter or longer? What happens to that giant pile of break disc, do they go off to a foundry some time? The length of the video is good too. I like them on the longer side. The various shots and angles were awesome.

[@markschofield9494]

Hi Paula, the length can be adjusted on the go, the brake discs are delivered to foundries with small loads being delivered as a foundry orders most days.

Nice to see, how much dirt and old paint comes with that scrap. I only can talk for german steelmills, are your buyers even that picky about heavy scrap? Good video as always, keep on.

[@markschofield9494]

They aren't picky about paint, unless the material is supposed to be new steel but I would get a weight deduction if loose dirt and paint was in the load.

Thank you for the video, is the Yellow attachment on the shear a new thing or wasn’t it filmed before (or I didn't notice it)? Greetings from the Netherlands 😊

[@markschofield9494]

The yellow thing is for lifting the blades when we change them and it's always been there.👍

[@user-zr3tr1pu4e]

Ive never seen so much cast iron you get lots of it

[@markschofield9494]

I don't buy a lot these days, other than brake discs.

[@RGC1968]

Just wondering what your prices are there??

[@handdancin]

24:35 wow thats a long telescoping cylinder

[@markschofield9494]

Yeah, all bulk tippers have one 👍

[@cditzler6313]

why dont you have a magnet with the claw kill two birds with one unit

[@markschofield9494]

because I have a far superior magnet attached to a machine specifically for the job, we do a lot of magnet work so to be constantly connecting a small magnet to the underside of the grab on the 830 would be time consuming and pointless. Also, the 830 would have cost a lot more money to buy with a generator plus the cost on a magnet head to hang on the grab, these magnets have to be small because of the combined weight of the grab and magnet. A 55" magnet on the 825 is the perfect setup for us, capable of lifting a 15 tonne slab, although the 825 can't handle 15 tonnes of course.
