25 tonne JENZ "Tiger" shredder lands in Whangarei
Forest Loaders of Whangarei took delivery of a brand-new JENZ BA725 Tiger biomass shredder late December 2017. The shredder, featuring JENZ' unique twin-gear system, will be deployed at a number of sites across Northland. Forest Loaders opted for a fully featured machine, including extended discharge conveyor and flexibility to change between fixed knives to process sawmill waste and swinging flails for bark processing and other applications. Powered by a 490hp MB engine, the JENZ is capable of extremely high outputs and has the ability to tightly control the quality of output material by modifying drum and hammer configurations, drum speed, screen size and infeed configuration. Early January, a team of German JENZ commissioning engineers arrived in Whangarei to train Forest Loaders' team and assist the operators to drive value from the latest addition to Forest Loaders' fleet.
