Doyle Machinery and the ARJES VZ850DK helps to keep Laverstoke Park Farm in Pole Position!
Laverstoke Park Farm is spread over 2,500 acres of rolling Hampshire countryside near Overton. It is owned and run by ex-racing driver and Formula One World Champion Jody Scheckter. He wanted to create a farming environment that would follow nature as closely as possible, combining 21st century science, together with the most environmentally friendly farming methods available.
Doyle Machinery have considerable experience in farming and using this hands-on knowledge assessed and discussed Laverstokes’ needs, and thus were able to meet and exceed their requirements. A great farm needs great compost, and in order to help achieve great compost, you need cutting edge technology, exceptional productivity and reliability.
Laverstoke Park Farm’s assessment process was based on thorough research and demonstrations of all the shredders currently in the market place. Having undertaken numerous demonstrations, and during Doyle Machinery’s demo with the Arjes VZ850DK shredder all members of the compost operations team were suitably impressed with the productivity, product size and fuel economy of the machine. The overall benefits of the machine also significantly reduced the material handling costs due to the shredded material being directly windrowed for composting while tracking at the same time, setting the Arjes VZ850DK apart.
The Arjes VZ850DK was put thought its paces which included tree stumps and logs which they had kept aside as the other machines hadn’t been able to efficiently shred. Once the logs were loaded into the VZ850DK the shredder shredded them without missing a beat. The team from Doyle Machinery demonstrated the ease of which the breaker bar can be removed and refitted giving the production team the required flexibility for the seasonal green waste intake.
Boasting many superior technical benefits such as a Volvo Penta Engine 768hp engine, patented T-Cut knives, extended application specific hooks and extended conveyor (which comes as standard) allows the customers to create wind rows directly from the shredder. The operator can reverse the machine in a straight line even whilst the shredder is operational, this allows for maximum production time!
The castellated breaker bar and dual cut action of the knives shreds the material to a consistent 80mm down which is allows for an ideal balance for aeration, coupled with the ability to row directly the Arjes V850DK provides the perfect solution. This all contributed to the overall cost savings for Laverstoke! The high throughput means consistent volumes, lower operating costs, modular and mobile structure, makes the Arjes vz850dk the ideal and most cost effective shredding solution!
The success of the Arjes VZ850DK medium speed in the green waste sector is based on excellent application experience, lower running costs, fuel efficiency and reduced wear costs. The reduced wear is due to non-impact high speed damage and reversable drive system This in turn also allows for maximum uptime.
