New paths for the biogas plant: JENZ launches AGRAR option package for shredders on the market

• JENZ introduces the AGRAR option package for its BA 615, 916, and 926 shredders, targeting biogas plant operators.

• The package includes a hydraulic folding hopper, automatic central lubrication, and a robust pull-forward device for better maneuverability.

• New 'beetroot mode' software allows processing of beet in various forms, enhancing machine versatility.

• Two new special screens, the 'universal screen' and 'Biomass & Residual Wood XL' basket, cater to different material types.

• Fixed tools based on forage harvester principles ensure even and fine processing of moist or tough materials.

• The AGRAR package is economically attractive, offered at a discount and open for customized extensions.

When maize becomes scarce, expensive or unwanted, alternatives are needed. JENZ provides them - with technology that thinks ahead.

Biogas plants are under increasing pressure. Weather-related crop failures, volatile market prices and a growing public debate about monocultures mean that operators are increasingly focussing on alternative substrates such as straw, beet or manure. However, processing these materials poses its own unique challenges for machines - from feeding and shredding to fermentability. This is precisely where the new AGRAR package from JENZ comes in.

The package is not a new model, but a specialised equipment line for the existing BA 615, 916 and 926 shredders - designed with practicality in mind for farmers, contractors and biogas plant operators. The aim: more efficiency, more variety, less effort.

Technology for difficult material

It's precisely these properties that the AGRAR package offers - in the form of a well thought-out technology kit that is customised for difficult input materials:

• hydraulic folding hopper: extends the belt trough to 5 metres - ideal for feeding with large buckets and bulky substrates.

• Automatic central lubrication: reduces maintenance requirements and extends service life - particularly important in continuous use with moist or aggressive materials.

• robust pull-forward device: ensures better manoeuvring in the yard - a real advantage when changing locations.

• The new ‘beetroot mode’: makes the machine an all-rounder: the software can be used to process beet either in coarse chunks or as pumpable pulp - depending on the storage or fermenter strategy.

• Two new special screens provide maximum customisation:

  • The ‘universal screen’ (130x200 mm) is made for difficult materials such as manure, silage or straw.

  • The ‘Biomass & Residual Wood XL’ basket with slats ensures ideal chipping results without excess lengths - e.g. for roots or woody green waste.

• Fixed tools instead of movable clubs – based on the principle of the forage harvester. Moist or tough material is processed evenly and finely.

Economically sophisticated

In addition to the technical features, the AGRAR package is also impressive in economic terms: as a preconfigured option bundle, it is offered with an attractive discount compared to individual purchases. At the same time, it remains open for customised extensions - for example in the area of discharge technology or the control system. The rotor itself is deliberately not fixed so that customers can customise the configuration to their specific requirements.

Conclusion: Technology for change

The AGRAR package from JENZ shows once again that technical innovation and practical flair need not be opposites. Instead of waiting for the next trend, the company provides a well thought-out solution for the structural change in the biogas sector - quickly available, robust in use and open for the future. Whether straw, liquid manure, beet or waste wood - anyone who wants to become less dependent on maize now has the right tool at hand.
