JENZ BA926 at Keenan Recycling Ltd
Background
Established in 2001, Keenan Recycling has grown from a garden waste composting business based near Aberdeen to become the UK’s largest organic waste management company. Its sustainable food waste management service includes an integrated approach to collecting food waste and turning it into green energy through its innovative processing facility in Scotland.
Each year, the company recycles around 100,000 tonnes of garden and food waste which is then transformed into compost that is used by farmers to improve their soil. Additionally, food waste is used to create valuable biofuels which are turned into green electricity, in a successful example of a truly circular economy approach.
Keenan Recycling first hired a trommel from CRJ Services back in 2006. Since then, they have hired various machines, including Slow Speed Shredders, Picking Stations and Deck Screeners. CRJ has also cross-hired machines off Keenan over the past 15 years, developing a strong working relationship between the two companies. Keenan Recycling purchased their first Jenz high-speed shredder back in 2008, A BA725, and since then have taken delivery of a new one approximately every three years, showing ongoing trust in the Jenz products.
Challenge
To meet the necessity for increased production year on year, Grant Keenan, Managing Director of Keenan Recycling contacted CRJ in December 2022 about the possibility of a new shredder.
Solution
Keenan took delivery of their new BA926 Jenz High-Speed Shredder in April 2023.
The machine is fully equipped with innovative Jenz options, including:
- an impact Protection System to detect tramp material in the feed
- a Wagner Neodymium Over-band Magnet to remove all ferrous material from the product belt
- a powerful 530HP MTU engine to allow for increased productivity
- and Jenz’s patented Easy2 Control System to allow for offsite machine diagnostic and machine management functions.
"We are delighted that we have been able to continue to fulfil Keenan’s machinery needs, to ensure high-quality performance, uptime and increased productivity. It has been a pleasure working with them and we are excited to continue to do so for many years to come."
