This Jenz HEM 561 DQ is a used wood chipper — sometimes referred to as a wood shredder — a machine designed to reduce logs, branches, and other woody material into uniform wood chips for use in biomass energy production, landscaping, forestry operations, and similar industries. Jenz is a well-established German manufacturer specialising in high-capacity wood chipping and biomass processing equipment, serving professional forestry, timber, and recycling sectors worldwide.
This particular machine is a mobile unit mounted on a Volvo truck and equipped with a Kesla crane featuring a raised cab and a 10-metre boom, making it a fully self-contained, road-mobile chipping system capable of operating independently at varied sites. The chipper is powered by a dedicated, separate Mercedes-Benz engine, specifically the OM 471 LA variant rated at 490 horsepower, which drives only the chipping unit and is independent of the truck's own drivetrain.
The cutting system uses a Helix drum, a design known for efficient and consistent chip production. The maximum chipping diameter is 560 mm, and the feed opening measures 1,000 mm wide by 650 mm high, accommodating large-diameter timber. Productivity is stated at up to 150 cubic metres of finished chip output per hour. The discharge ducting is fitted with premium-grade components, and all servicing and repairs have been carried out exclusively with original manufacturer parts.
Hours recorded on the drum stand at 7,545, with total machine hours of 9,000. The seller describes the machine as being in perfect working order and confirms that a working demonstration can be arranged. The unit is currently located in Romania and is offered at USD 195,000.
