Top 10 Hydraulic cutting machine Suppliers, Manufacturers, Wholesalers and Traders in Cabo Verde

When it comes to cable recycling in Cabo Verde, VerdeCut Industries is the name on everyone's lips. Founded in 2010 by mechanical engineer Carlos Mendes, this Praia-based supplier started with a simple mission: to make hydraulic cutting accessible to local businesses. Today, their HC-500 Hydraulic Cutter is a staple in over 80% of the country's cable recycling yards—and for good reason. "It's like having a superhero in the workshop," jokes Ana Gomes, owner of Gomes Cable Recycling in Praia. "We used to spend hours hacking through thick copper cables with manual tools. Now, the HC-500 slices through them in seconds, and it's so precise we rarely damage the copper strands."

What truly sets VerdeCut apart is their ecosystem approach. They don't just sell a cutter—they pair it with scrap cable stripper equipment and full cable recycling equipment, creating a turnkey solution for businesses. "A cutter alone is just a tool," explains Mendes. "But when you combine it with a stripper that removes insulation without nicking the metal, suddenly you're not just cutting—you're maximizing profits." This philosophy has made them a favorite among small to medium recyclers, who appreciate the cost savings of buying a bundled system.

Durability is another hallmark of VerdeCut's machines. Built with corrosion-resistant steel to withstand Cabo Verde's salty coastal air, the HC-500 comes with a 5-year warranty on parts—a rarity in the industry. "We test every cutter in our workshop for 100 hours straight before shipping," says Mendes. "If it can handle that, it can handle anything a Cabo Verdean recycler throws at it."

Nestled in the industrial district of Mindelo, HydraTech Cabo Verde is the local arm of a global hydraulic equipment giant—and they've brought big-company expertise to small-island challenges. Their HT-300 Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Cutter is designed for the toughest jobs: think 2-inch steel bars, reinforced concrete, and even old ship parts. "We had a client in São Vicente who needed to cut through the hull of a decommissioned fishing boat," recalls regional manager Luisa Correia. "The HT-300 did it in 20 minutes. Manual torches would've taken a full day."

But HydraTech isn't just about brute force. Their focus on integration has made them a hit with metal fabricators and construction companies. Pair the HT-300 with their hydraulic press machines equipment, and you've got a system that cuts, shapes, and compacts metal with minimal labor. For waste management firms, their hydraulic baler equipment is the perfect follow-up—turning cut scrap into neat, stackable bales for transport. "One client in Sal runs a construction demolition business," Correia notes. "They use the HT-300 to cut rebar, the press to flatten sheet metal, and the baler to package it all. Their trucking costs dropped by 40% because they're hauling denser loads."

What clients love most, though, is HydraTech's training program. Every purchase includes a 3-day workshop for operators, covering safety protocols, maintenance, and troubleshooting. "Many of our clients are first-time hydraulic equipment users," Correia says. "We don't just hand over a machine—we make sure your team can run it like pros."

In the fast-growing world of e-waste recycling, RecyclePro Solutions is leading the charge—literally. Specializing in lithium battery and circuit board processing, this Praia-based supplier has become a go-to for businesses tackling the tricky task of recycling modern electronics. Their RP-HC Series Hydraulic Cutter is a marvel of precision, designed to slice through lithium-ion battery casings without puncturing the delicate internal components. "Lithium batteries are dangerous if mishandled—one wrong cut and you could have a fire," explains technical director Rui Santos. "Our cutter uses sensors to detect metal density, so it adjusts pressure mid-cut to avoid sparks. It's like having a brain in the blade."

But RecyclePro's innovation doesn't stop at cutting. They've built an entire ecosystem around e-waste processing, including li battery recycling equipment that extracts cobalt, nickel, and lithium after cutting, and circuit board recycling equipment that separates precious metals from plastic. "A client in Praia's tech district processes 500kg of lithium batteries daily using our system," Santos says. "They recover 95% of the lithium, which they sell to battery manufacturers in Portugal. It's not just recycling—it's resource recovery."

With e-waste volumes projected to grow 20% annually in Cabo Verde, RecyclePro is doubling down on R&D. Their next project? A cutter that can handle CRT recycling machines equipment—those old glass computer monitors that contain lead. "The world is moving fast, but we're moving faster," Santos grins. "Our clients don't just get equipment—they get a seat at the table of the future."

Industrial Edge Machineries in Sal has made a name for itself by thinking outside the box—or rather, inside the appliance. Specializing in motor and appliance recycling, their IE-700 Multi-Material Hydraulic Cutter is a chameleon: it can snip through motor stators, slice aluminum refrigerator frames, and even trim plastic components. "Motors are tricky because they have copper windings wrapped around steel cores," says owner Miguel Sousa. "Our cutter has interchangeable blades—one for cutting the stator, another for separating the windings. It turns a 2-hour job into 10 minutes."

To complement their cutter, Industrial Edge offers motor stator cutter equipment and shredder and pre-chopper equipment, creating a seamless workflow for appliance recyclers. Take, for example, their partnership with a refrigerator recycling plant in Santa Maria. "They use the pre-chopper to break down the fridge into chunks, the IE-700 to cut the motor stator, and the shredder to process the plastic," Sousa explains. "Before, they were sending 30% of fridges to landfill because they couldn't separate the parts. Now, they're recycling 95%."

What makes Industrial Edge stand out is their customization. If you've got a unique material—say, old air conditioner compressors or washing machine drums—they'll modify the IE-700's blade angle or pressure settings to fit. "One client in Boa Vista recycles vintage sewing machines," Sousa laughs. "We tweaked the cutter to handle the cast-iron bases, and now they're turning old machines into artisanal furniture parts. It's recycling, but it's also creativity."

For small businesses and community workshops, bigger isn't always better—and Cabo Hydraulics Ltd. gets that. This family-owned supplier in Mindelo specializes in compact, affordable hydraulic equipment, with their CH-200 Compact Hydraulic Cutter leading the pack. Weighing just 300kg and fitting through a standard door, it's perfect for garages, small recycling co-ops, and even mobile workshops. "I take mine on the back of a pickup to remote villages," says José Almeida, who runs a mobile scrap collection service in São Nicolau. "Farmers bring me old plows, rusted fences—anything metal. The CH-200 cuts it all, and I process it right there."

Cabo Hydraulics also shines in versatility. They pair the CH-200 with both wet process equipment (for water-based material separation) and dry process equipment (for dust-free cutting), letting clients choose based on their needs. "A pottery studio in Fogo uses the dry process cutter to trim ceramic slabs," says owner Maria Fernandes. "A fish processing plant in Brava uses the wet process to cut stainless steel trays—water cools the blade and prevents rust."

Affordability is key here. Cabo Hydraulics offers flexible payment plans, with 0% interest for the first year, making it easier for small businesses to invest. "We started as a small workshop ourselves," Fernandes says. "We know how hard it is to buy big equipment. So we built a cutter that's tough enough for the job, small enough for your space, and priced so you can actually afford it."

When it comes to large-scale recycling plants, GlobalRecycler Cabo Verde is the heavyweight champion. Part of a European network with decades of experience, this supplier brings global best practices to local shores—starting with their GR-450 High-Speed Hydraulic Cutter. Capable of processing 2 tons of material per hour, it's the backbone of Praia's biggest recycling facility, which handles everything from car parts to industrial waste. "Speed matters when you're processing truckloads of scrap," says plant manager Fátima Lima. "The GR-450 never slows down—we've run it 12-hour shifts for weeks, and it just keeps going."

But GlobalRecycler's real edge is in sustainability. They pair their cutter with air pollution control system equipment, ensuring that dust and fumes from cutting are captured and filtered. Their plastic pneumatic conveying system then whisks plastic waste away to a separate processing line, reducing manual handling and contamination. "Environmental regulations are getting stricter, and that's a good thing," says sustainability director Paulo Dias. "Our clients don't just meet local standards—they exceed EU ones. That opens doors to exporting recycled materials to Europe."

GlobalRecycler also offers 24/7 technical support via video call, with a team of engineers in Lisbon ready to troubleshoot. "Last month, a client's cutter blade jammed at 2 a.m.," Dias recalls. "Our engineer walked their team through fixing it over WhatsApp—they were back up in 45 minutes. Downtime costs money, and we hate seeing our clients lose money."

For foundries and metal smelters, cutting is just the first step—you need to turn scrap into a form that melts efficiently. That's where MetalMasters Equipment comes in. Their IE-700 Multi-Material Hydraulic Cutter is built to produce uniform chunks of metal, which melt faster and more evenly in furnaces. "Irregular pieces leave gaps in the furnace, wasting energy," explains founder António Carvalho. "Our cutter produces 3-inch cubes every time—perfect for melting."

MetalMasters doesn't stop at cutting, though. They offer a full suite of melting and compacting tools, including metal melting furnace equipment and hydraulic briquetter equipment. "A foundry in Praia uses our cutter to process scrap iron, then the briquetter to compress the cut pieces into dense blocks," Carvalho says. "Those blocks melt 30% faster than loose scrap, saving them thousands on electricity."

What really impresses clients is MetalMasters' attention to safety. Their cutter comes with infrared sensors that shut down the machine if a hand gets too close, and their furnaces include automatic temperature controls to prevent overheating. "Foundries are dangerous places," Carvalho notes. "We build safety into every machine, not as an afterthought."

Sustainability isn't just a buzzword for EcoShred Cabo—it's their business model. This Sal-based supplier specializes in low-energy, low-waste hydraulic equipment, with their ES-250 Eco-Friendly Hydraulic Cutter leading the way. "It uses 20% less power than standard cutters," says environmental engineer Lúcia Mendes. "We've replaced traditional hydraulic fluid with a biodegradable alternative, and the blade is made from recycled steel. Even the packaging is 100% recyclable."

EcoShred pairs the ES-250 with 2 shaft shredder equipment for pre-processing and air pollution control machines equipment to capture dust, creating a closed-loop system. "A hotel chain in Santa Maria uses our setup to recycle their old furniture," Mendes says. "They shred the wood, cut the metal brackets with the ES-250, and the air system ensures no sawdust escapes. The wood becomes mulch for their gardens, the metal goes to a recycler—it's zero-waste recycling."

For clients who want to go even greener, EcoShred offers a carbon offset program: for every machine sold, they plant 100 trees in Cabo Verde's reforestation zones. "Sustainability is about more than the machine itself," Mendes says. "It's about the entire lifecycle—from manufacturing to disposal. We're trying to make that lifecycle as green as possible."

When precision is non-negotiable—think aerospace parts, medical equipment, or delicate electronics—PrecisionCut Systems is the supplier of choice. Their PC-1000 Precision Hydraulic Cutter uses computerized controls to cut within 0.1mm of the target, making it ideal for circuit board recycling and small-part fabrication. "We work with a company that makes custom heat sinks for solar panels," says tech lead Vasco Silva. "They need 1mm-thick aluminum cut into intricate shapes. The PC-1000 does it perfectly, every time."

PrecisionCut also offers compact granulator with dry separator equipment, which works with the PC-1000 to turn cut circuit boards into granulated material, separating metals from plastic. "Circuit boards have gold, silver, copper—valuable stuff," Silva explains. "Our system recovers 99% of those metals, which can be sold back to electronics manufacturers. It's recycling that pays for itself."

What clients rave about is the PC-1000's software. It allows operators to save cutting patterns, so repeat jobs are a breeze, and it sends real-time data to a phone app—alerting you if the blade is dull or the pressure is off. "A client in Praia runs three shifts," Silva says. "The night shift can start a job the day shift programmed, and managers can monitor progress from home. It's smart cutting for a smart industry."

Cabo Verde's marine industry faces unique challenges—saltwater corrosion, space constraints on ships, and the need to process diverse materials. Atlantic Hydraulics, a Praia-based supplier with roots in shipbuilding, has tailored their equipment to meet these needs, starting with the AH-400 Marine-Grade Hydraulic Cutter. "It's built with stainless steel components and sealed bearings to keep salt out," says marine specialist Inês Fonseca. "We tested it on a fishing trawler for 6 months—no rust, no breakdowns."

But Atlantic Hydraulics isn't just for boats. They've adapted their marine tech for land-based industries, particularly appliance recycling. Their refrigerator recycling equipment, paired with the AH-400, makes short work of dismantling old fridges and AC units—removing doors, cutting foam insulation, and separating metal from plastic. "A recycling plant in Mindelo processes 50 fridges a day with our system," Fonseca says. "The cutter handles the metal frame, and our auxiliary equipment vacuums up the foam. It's clean, fast, and compliant with ozone protection regulations."

What clients love most is Atlantic Hydraulics' mobile service. Their technicians travel by boat to remote islands, providing on-site repairs and maintenance. "A client in Brava had a breakdown during peak recycling season," Fonseca recalls. "We took the ferry over, fixed the cutter in 2 hours, and stayed for lunch. That's the Cabo Verde way—doing business with heart."
