Metal ingot is an important product form in metallurgical industry, and it is widely used in various manufacturing industries as raw material. In order to meet the requirements of processing technology, metal ingot is usually cut to improve the efficiency and convenience of subsequent processing.
[0003] In the prior art, the deep processing of metal ingot usually uses a pressure plate to press the metal ingot, and the metal ingot is pushed into the cutting roller by a hydraulic cylinder for cutting.

However, the prior art also has some disadvantages: after cutting, the blanking plate in front of the cutting roller is opened, and the material head falls off. When falling, the material head slides into the hopper by its own gravity, which may cause the material head to be stuck in the blanking port or even hit the hob rack, thereby causing damage to the equipment or safety hazards to the workers.
