R J & C Chancellor & JENZ: Revolutionising Green Waste Processing
Background
Long-term JENZ operator R J & C Chancellor partnered with CRJ Services to upgrade his green waste and biomass processing machinery with the latest JENZ BA916D high-speed shredder, significantly enhancing his operational capabilities across multiple sites.
Challenge
R J & C Chancellor’s green waste and biomass processing operation required a specialised shredding solution that could deliver consistent performance across multiple daily sites. His business needed equipment that could maintain high throughput for both composting and biomass production while minimising setup time and maintenance delays. The challenge lay in balancing mobility with processing power, the equipment needed to be robust enough for continuous operation yet agile enough for quick relocation.
Site transitions had to be streamlined, as every minute spent on setup directly impacted daily productivity targets. The ideal solution had to combine rapid deployment with reliable processing capacity, transforming downtime into productive hours while maintaining consistent output quality regardless of location. These operational demands meant traditional static processing equipment wouldn’t suffice; instead, Rob needed a solution that could adapt to varying site conditions and material types while maintaining efficiency throughout multiple daily moves.
Solution
Based on Rob’s extensive 20-year history with JENZ equipment, CRJ Services recommended the JENZ BA916D high-speed shredder. The machine’s 32-hammer system doubles processing capacity, while its advanced control interface and remote functionality offer enhanced operational control. Key features include a covered rear conveyor and quick fold/unfold capabilities, optimising mobile operations. The BA916D’s specifications aligned perfectly with Rob’s requirements, enabling a smooth transition and immediate gains in processing efficiency and mobility.
Implementation
As soon as the JENZ BA916D was delivered, CRJ provided comprehensive support to ensure a seamless transition. The implementation began with in-depth operator training that covered the shredder’s sophisticated control systems and remote operation features. Working side-by-side with Rob, CRJ’s technical specialists fine-tuned the hammer configurations to achieve optimal performance across different materials, maximising efficiency for both composting and biomass production. This systematic approach helped maintain productivity as the team mastered the BA916D’s advanced capabilities, ultimately streamlining operations across multiple sites.
Results
Since implementing the JENZ BA916D, Rob has experienced significant performance improvements across his operations. The upgraded 32-hammer system has delivered superior shred quality while increasing overall throughput, eliminating the need for smaller screens. Despite the higher number of hammers, the system has demonstrated extended blade life, effectively maintaining operational costs. The machine’s enhanced cleaning and maintenance efficiency has substantially reduced downtime between sites.
The operational impact has been equally impressive, with the BA916D’s quick fold and unfold capability streamlining site transitions. The covered rear conveyor design has minimised cleaning requirements between jobs, while the new control interface and remote functionality have given Rob greater control over the shredding process.
Support & Service
The JENZ BA916D installation at Rob’s site went smoothly with support from our sales and technical teams. When initial challenges arose, we worked quickly to resolve them and keep operations on track. Our aim is to provide reliable equipment backed by consistent support to help our customers succeed.
In my experience, the Jenz shredder consistently outperforms all competitors in green waste processing. The upgrade from 16 to 32 hammers delivers a finer shred size and increased throughput, eliminating the need for smaller screens. Though this setup requires more blades, their longer lifespan keeps costs similar.
