TAURUS is a historic brand in the scrap processing market. Since the 1960s TAURUS has been involved in the study, design, development and production of plants and machines intended for processing ferrous and non ferrous scrap.

All TAURUS machine are designed to achieve maximum performance while respecting safety and environmental laws. High technology, versatility and easy use are the distinguishing features of TAURUS – branded production. Each product represents the highest expression of research and innovation.

The shear head consists of an electro welded monolithic structure. All the inner surfaces of the shear head and the front surface of the mobile blade holder, in direct contact with scrap, are protected by replaceable wear plates. The sliding guides of the mobile blade holder are made of synthetic material loaded with lubricants and glass fibre, suitable for absorbing debris and solid particles to prevent sliding seizures. Adjustment of the guides, to eliminate backlash, is done with a simple and unique system, acting from outside the structure.

The new hydraulic system combines low consumption loading with high performance. The set of valves constituting the system and mounted on the distribution panels is an appropriate compromise between the use of traditional drawer elements and the adoption of logic elements. Mechanical limit switches have been eliminated, replacing them with angle sensors KNEE (patented), and laser position controls. The application of the integrated multifunctional ‘SIRL’ system allows, among other things, the speed of the wings to be controlled to avoid shocks and vibrations. The TS remote diagnostics system, which is installed standard on all shears, monitors the machine in real time by our service department.

Taurus shear balers are available in stationary and semi mobile versions, from 600 ton to to 1600 ton, with different options on box size and quantity of cylinders per wing, to be fully tailor made for each operation.
