The HAAS TYRON Quick Change System Transforms Recycling Operations

Over the years, the recycling industry has occasionally accepted that high level equipment maintenance comes with significant downtime. Replacing main machinery components often meant days of labour, specialised tools, and costly man hours. But that’s no longer the case with the Haas Shredder. HAAS Recycling has introduced the groundbreaking QC – Quick Change System for its HAAS TYRON shredder, marking a major leap forward in maintenance efficiency and cost reduction.

The new Quick Change System centres on a revolutionary modular approach that allows complete shredding unit exchange in record time. Unlike traditional systems requiring extensive dismantling and specialised expertise, the QC system separates the shredding unit entirely from the drive section, eliminating the need to access sensitive components like bearings or hydraulic lines.

Key technological advantages include:

Modular Design Excellence - Changeable components (counter combs, breaker bars, rotor shafts) allow one machine to handle diverse materials without compromise.
Hydraulic Quick Change Innovation - Simple hydraulic slide-out mechanism requires only basic screwing and lifting for component access.
Unprecedented Speed - Shaft changes in under 90 minutes, complete chamber replacement in 45 minutes.
Flexible Configuration Options - Different shredding tools maximise equipment utilisation across various recycling applications.
Robust Engineering - Asynchronous planetary gearbox with large bearings and maintenance-friendly coupling ensures reliability.
Cost-Efficient Service - Rotor shaft reconditioning via welding (dedicated device or in-machine) reduces costs and complexity.

Game-Changing Technology: Cuts Downtime from Days to Minutes

“This technology is a game changer for servicing both our hire fleet and third-party machines,” says Deon Swanepoel, Head of Engineering at CRJ. “What used to take over two days now takes under two hours—massively reducing downtime and boosting customer productivity. This is going to revolutionize our operations, particularly our swing machine programme”

CRJ's carbon emission reduction strategy seamlessly integrates Net Zero targets into our long-term vision, directly supporting SDG 13 (Climate Action) through innovative technology adoption. The HAAS TYRON Quick Change (QC) System represents a transformative advancement in CRJ Services' commitment to UN Sustainable Development Goals across the UK and Ireland, fundamentally enhancing waste management efficiency whilst delivering measurable environmental benefits.

As HAAS Recycling's exclusive UK & Irish dealer, CRJ leverages this cutting-edge technology across our extensive hire fleet of TYRON shredders, maximising service efficiency for both hire equipment and third-party machines. This comprehensive approach drives sustainable waste processing capabilities whilst substantially reducing carbon footprints, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship and operational excellence.

Proven Performance, Enhanced Serviceability

The HAAS TYRON with Quick Change System maintains all the performance characteristics that have made it an industry standard, whilst adding unprecedented serviceability. The system's design ensures that routine maintenance becomes a planned activity rather than an emergency disruption. The separation of the shredding unit from the drive section represents sophisticated engineering that prioritises both performance and practicality. This approach protects sensitive components whilst enabling rapid access to wear items that require regular attention.

Looking Forward

The Quick Change System represents more than just improved maintenance procedures. It signals a fundamental shift towards equipment designed around operational realities rather than purely technical specifications. By acknowledging that maintenance is inevitable and designing systems to minimise its impact, HAAS Recycling demonstrates genuine understanding of customer needs.

For recycling operations seeking to maximise equipment utilisation whilst minimising operational disruption, the HAAS TYRON Quick Change System offers a compelling solution. The combination of proven shredding performance with revolutionary maintenance capabilities creates new possibilities for operational efficiency.

The difference is clear: where traditional systems create maintenance challenges, the Quick Change System creates maintenance efficiencies.
