JENZ Chipper Technology Explained

JENZ Chipper Technology Explained: Key Features That Set the Standard

When investing in a high-performance wood chipper, headline figures only tell part of the story. What really separates a good machine from a great one is how intelligently it works, how consistently it produces quality chip, and how well it protects itself over thousands of operating hours.

JENZ chippers are engineered with exactly this in mind. Below, we take a deeper look at the key technologies found across the JENZ chipper range and explain how they directly benefit operators, contractors, and fleet owners in day-to-day use.

Easy2Advanced Control System

Smarter control, higher productivity, less operator strain

The Easy2Advanced control system is a major evolution of the well-known Easy2 platform. Rather than simply reacting to inputs, the system actively supports the operator with intelligent feedback and machine-led decision making.

Operators can tailor settings to suit material type, working conditions, and personal preferences, making the machine highly adaptable across different jobs. At the same time, the system continuously monitors crop flow and machine load, ensuring smooth, reliable throughput without unnecessary stress on components.

The result is a chipper that works more efficiently, more consistently, and with less reliance on constant manual intervention – allowing operators to focus on safe and productive feeding rather than managing machine behaviour.

D1.3 Chipping Drum

Outstanding chip quality with lower fuel consumption

At the heart of the machine is the JENZ D1.3 drum, designed to deliver exceptional efficiency and consistently high wood chip quality.

The optimised chip discharge flow significantly reduces fines and minimises the risk of material blockages, while also contributing to lower diesel consumption. This is particularly valuable in biomass and fuel-chip applications where chip consistency directly affects combustion performance and customer satisfaction.

The thickness knife system ensures reliably coarse wood chips, with chip size precisely adjustable via the pre-grip wedge system. Operators can fine-tune output between approximately 25 mm and 42 mm, depending on end use requirements.

Regrindable knives maximise service life and reduce long-term operating costs, while the drum’s high mass moment of inertia allows it to run exceptionally smoothly. This protects the drivetrain, reduces vibration, and delivers consistent performance even under heavy or uneven loads.

CFA Draw-In Control System

Automatic infeed adjustment for optimal chip quality

JENZ’s CFA and CFA2 draw-in control systems take the guesswork out of infeed management.

CFA automatically reduces infeed speed proportionally if rotor speed drops, ensuring the drum is never overloaded. CFA2 takes this a step further by adjusting infeed speed based on the opening angle of the upper feed roller, reacting instantly to material size and density.

This intelligent control ensures the chipper is always working within its optimal operating window. The benefits are clear: smoother operation, consistent chip quality, reduced wear, and a machine that is used evenly and gently – even when material varies throughout the day.

DIP Roller Pressure System

Automatic adaptation to different materials

The DIP (Dynamic Intake Pressure) system allows the chipper to adapt automatically to the material being processed, without the operator needing to manually adjust roller pressure.

Brash and light material benefit from higher pressure to maintain positive feeding, while larger logs can be drawn in with minimal pressure, reducing stress on the infeed system and improving efficiency. The variable pre-load pressure of the upper roller ensures optimal grip and feed behaviour at all times.

This not only improves throughput and consistency but also reduces operator workload and contributes to longer component life by avoiding unnecessary mechanical strain.

Impact Protection System (IPS)

Protecting the machine when the unexpected happens

Foreign objects such as stones or metal are an unavoidable risk in real-world chipping operations. JENZ’s Impact Protection System (IPS) is designed to minimise the consequences when this happens.

Sensors continuously monitor vibrations within the machine. If inadmissible vibrations are detected, the system immediately activates a protection programme – stopping material discharge in as little as 0.8 seconds.

This rapid response helps prevent serious damage to key components, significantly reducing the risk of costly repairs and unplanned downtime. For operators and fleet managers alike, IPS provides peace of mind and greater operational security.

JENZ Telematics

Complete visibility, wherever you are

JENZ Telematics brings modern connectivity to chipper operation and fleet management. The system provides access to a wide range of machine data, including operating parameters, error messages, GPS position, efficiency metrics, and real-time performance information.

Maintenance reminders support proactive servicing and better planning, helping to avoid downtime before it happens. Combined with direct data services from JENZ and trusted partners, telematics enables faster diagnostics, improved support, and more informed decision-making.

Whether managing a single machine or an entire fleet, JENZ Telematics turns data into a powerful operational advantage.

Built for Productivity, Designed for Longevity

Each of these systems is impressive on its own, but the real strength of JENZ chippers lies in how they work together. Intelligent controls, robust mechanical design, and advanced protection systems combine to deliver reliable performance, high-quality output, and long-term cost efficiency.

For operators who demand more from their machinery – in terms of productivity, chip quality, and durability – JENZ chippers continue to set the benchmark.
