With four decades of specialized heavy industry experience, J.R. Smith Welding Service, Inc. provides catastrophic failure repairs, scheduled maintenance, and complete reconditioning for all types of scrap metal processing machinery. We specialize in mobile hydraulic metal shear restoration, applying AWS D1.1 certified structural welding and professionally engineered repair procedures to steel plates and structural components up to 10 inches thick directly on-site
Severe shock loading, continuous high-tonnage cycling, and extreme operating conditions cause progressive fatigue across high-value shear attachments. Our mobile units bring heavy-duty machining and certified welding capabilities directly to scrap yards across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Delaware, and Maryland, eliminating the logistical expense and extended downtime of off-site transport.
Common conditions addressed during shear reconditioning:
- Broken upper and lower jaws requiring structural welding and hydraulic realignment
- Main frame exterior fractures, broken internal diaphragms, and supporting plate failures
- Oblong, cracked, or wallowed-out knife and end-bit bolt holes
- Severe wear across knife surfaces and end-bit mounting seats
- Worn or elongated main frame pivot bushing bores and knife pivot pin bores
- Damaged hydraulic cylinder mounting ears, rod eyes, and sheared mounting hardware
Technical repair procedures performed in the field:
- Non-destructive testing including magnetic particle inspection to identify structural fractures
- Heavy structural welding repairs and installation of factory heavy-service frame plate kits
- Weld build-up and precision re-machining of knife end-bit mounting surfaces to original thickness specifications
- Excavation, weld fill, and precision re-drilling of blade and end-bit mounting bolt holes
- Weld build-up, line boring, and facing of pivot pin and bushing bores back to OEM factory tolerances
- Extraction of broken bolts and complete restoration of damaged internal threads to original specifications
All structural welding and field machining work is completed following engineered procedures to ensure proper fit, operational durability, and extended service life. To schedule on-site line boring or request emergency field repairs,
