Programmatic Comparison · Engineering Brief
ARJES Impaktor 250 EVO II vs EDGE Slayer VS420 — 14t hook-lift mobility, 2-hour cassette swap, and EDGE hydraulic thermal limits.
| Spec | ARJES Impaktor 250 EVO II | EDGE Slayer VS420 |
|---|---|---|
| Drive concept | Twin-shaft hydro-mechanical asynchronous, independent reverse | |
| Engine | Volvo Penta TAD 581 VE (Stage V) | |
| Drive power (kW) | 129 | |
| Drive power (HP) | 175 | |
| Operating / transport weight (kg) | 14,000 (hook-lift legal) | |
| Transport width (mm) | 2,300 (standard truck) | |
| Fuel consumption (l/h, avg) | 15 – 20 | |
| Specific fuel (l/t, C&D) | 0.27 | |
| Cutting torque (Nm) | 170,000 | |
| Shaft cassette swap time (hrs) | 2 (quick-change cassette) | |
| Hydraulic thermal limit (°C ambient) | +42 (CLEANFIX reversible cooling) | |
| Setup time (hrs) | 0.5 (SCU auto-calibration, hook-lift) |
| Material | ARJES Impaktor 250 EVO II | EDGE Slayer VS420 |
|---|---|---|
| C&D waste / reinforced concrete | 88-121 ST/h | 88-121 ST/h |
| Waste wood / biomass | 17-22 ST/h (biomass) / 11-17 ST/h (mixed) | 33-55 ST/h |
| Commercial / industrial waste | 33-55 ST/h | 55-77 ST/h |
| Reinforced concrete (rebar ≥ 16 mm) | On-demand shred (asynchronous anti-wrap) | Limited (tramp-metal stalls; manual torch extraction) |

Both are mobile twin-shaft shredders, but in different weight and power classes: the EDGE Slayer VS420 ships at 29.2 t with a 310 kW CAT C9.3, while the ARJES Impaktor 250 EVO II is 14.0 t with a 129 kW Volvo Penta TAD 581 VE. They are commonly shortlisted together for C&D and scrap processing where CEE logistics and serviceability are deciding factors.
For CEE multi-site C&D deployments, the ARJES Impaktor 250 EVO II delivers substantially lower TCO through 0.27 l/t specific fuel (vs 0.30–0.35 for EDGE), 2-hour cassette swaps (vs 24–48 hours of field welding), and zero heavy-haul permit costs. For high-volume single-site waste-wood lines, the EDGE Slayer VS420 wins on throughput per hour and may justify its logistics overhead.
Reported in field service bulletins: when ambient temperature exceeds +30°C and the machine is loaded to its 240,000 Nm torque rating, the Slayer VS420 hydraulic oil radiators cannot maintain thermal equilibrium. Oil temperature rises past the 95°C shutdown threshold, triggering forced stops. The ARJES Impaktor 250 EVO II with CLEANFIX reversible cooling is rated for continuous operation at +42°C ambient.
