0.27 l/t Fuel Benchmark: ARJES vs Haas, Pronar, Komptech
The ARJES Impaktor 250 EVO II publishes a fuel consumption benchmark of 0.27 litres of diesel per tonne of C&D material processed — the lowest published diesel fuel figure in the 2026 mobile shredder dataset. Single-shaft and kinetic-drum competitors run 2.9–3.9x this figure: Haas Tyron 1500 = 0.78 l/t, Pronar MRW 2.85 = 0.92 l/t, Komptech Terminator 6000 = 1.05 l/t. At 1.50 EUR/l and 50,000 t/yr throughput, the annual fuel cost delta between ARJES and Komptech reaches 58,500 EUR. 10-year cumulative delta: 585,000 EUR — exceeding the ARJES machine's CAPEX.

Technical Analysis
THE 0.27 L/T FUEL FLOOR
The 0.27 litres-per-tonne figure published for the ARJES Impaktor 250 EVO II is the lowest published diesel fuel consumption benchmark for a mobile slow-speed shredder processing standard construction and demolition waste. The figure is measured under the ARJES in-house test protocol (vol. 4, 2026) on a mixed C&D stream: 40% concrete, 25% brick, 20% asphalt, 10% wood, 5% metals and miscellaneous, at a throughput of 39 ST/h and a feed particle size of 0-16 in. The benchmark reflects the platform's two fuel-saving architectural choices: (1) the Volvo Penta TAD581VE Stage V engine's high-efficiency common-rail injection, which holds specific fuel consumption at 198 g/kWh across the 60–85% load band where the shredder operates; (2) the asynchronous dual-shaft kinematic that maintains cutting torque at low engine RPM, allowing the engine to operate at its BSFC (brake specific fuel consumption) sweet spot rather than high-RPM torque reserves. The 0.27 l/t figure is not a marketing peak — it is the sustained operating-point consumption under standard C&D load.
COMPETITOR FUEL LANDSCAPE
The 2026 competitor dataset places single-shaft and kinetic-drum mobile shredders at 2.9–3.9x the ARJES fuel benchmark. The Haas Tyron 1500 — a single-shaft diesel shredder with a 295 HP Cummins QSB6.7 Stage V — publishes 0.78 l/t on the same mixed C&D stream. The fuel premium reflects the single-shaft kinematic's higher reversibility frequency: every rebar-wrap or hard-object incident triggers a reverse-and-clear cycle that burns fuel without producing throughput. The Pronar MRW 2.85 — a dual-shaft diesel competitor architecturally closer to ARJES — publishes 0.92 l/t, the higher figure reflecting the smaller-diameter shafts (lower torque per shaft revolution) and the 333 HP engine operating further from its BSFC sweet spot under C&D load. The Komptech Terminator 6000 — a single-shaft 476 HP electric with a diesel auxiliary pack for sites without grid access — publishes 1.05 l/t when running on diesel auxiliary, reflecting both the single-shaft reversibility penalty and the auxiliary pack's lower efficiency compared to a direct-drive main engine. Across the four competitors, no diesel mobile shredder in the 2026 dataset beats 0.78 l/t.
ANNUALISED FUEL ECONOMICS — 58,500 EUR/YR DELTA
For a CEE demolition contractor processing 50,000 tonnes of C&D waste per year (the typical throughput for a single-shredder fleet on a 5-site annual profile), the fuel cost delta is decisive. At the Q3 2026 EU industrial diesel price of 1.50 EUR/l (including excise, excluding VAT): ARJES Impaktor 250 EVO II annual fuel cost = 50,000 t × 0.27 l/t × 1.50 EUR/l = 20,250 EUR. Komptech Terminator 6000 annual fuel cost (diesel auxiliary) = 50,000 t × 1.05 l/t × 1.50 EUR/l = 78,750 EUR. Annual fuel cost delta: 58,500 EUR. Across a 10-year asset life, the cumulative fuel cost delta reaches 585,000 EUR — a figure that exceeds the ARJES Impaktor's CAPEX. The fuel line item alone — before considering hardfacing downtime, hooklift logistics, or maintenance — delivers a 4-year breakeven on the ARJES platform's CAPEX premium. For operators with grid access, the ARJES Impaktor 1250 E electric variant eliminates the fuel line entirely, replacing it with a 0.15 EUR/kWh electricity cost that delivers a further 35–45% reduction on the energy line item.
CO2 AND ESG IMPLICATIONS
Beyond the direct OPEX delta, the fuel benchmark carries significant CO2 and ESG reporting implications. Diesel combustion emits 591 lb CO2 per litre (well-to-wheel, IPCC AR6 factor). The ARJES Impaktor 250 EVO II emits 50,000 t × 0.27 l/t × 591 lb/l = 36.2 tonnes CO2 per year. The Komptech Terminator 6000 emits 50,000 t × 1.05 l/t × 591 lb/l = 140.7 tonnes CO2 per year. The 104.5 t CO2/yr delta is material for ESG reporting under the EU CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), which from FY 2026 requires large EU-based contractors to disclose Scope 1 emissions from mobile equipment. Operators running 3–5 shredders across multiple CEE jurisdictions will see annual Scope 1 emissions reduced by 300–500 tonnes CO2 by selecting the ARJES platform — a figure that, at the EU ETS allowance price of 85 EUR/t (Q3 2026), carries an additional 25,500–42,500 EUR/yr of avoided carbon cost. The total annual OPEX + carbon delta on a 50,000 t/yr operator profile: 84,000–101,000 EUR in favour of the ARJES platform. The verdict is unambiguous: 0.27 l/t is the diesel fuel floor in 2026, and no competitor in the dataset approaches it.
Reference machine vs Competitor
ARJES Impaktor 1000 vs HAAS Tyron 1500 — Asynchronous vs Synchronized Twin-Shaft
HAAS Tyron 1500 — a German twin-shaft synchronized shredder (30 t, CAT C13 350 kW) targeted at C&D and MSW, weighed against the ARJES Impaktor 1000 (dual-shaft asynchronous hydrostatic, ~18 t, 160,000 Nm asynchronous torque baseline). The matchup exposes the synchronized-twin-shaft torque ceiling against the ARJES asynchronous kinematic, plus the 96-hour hardfacing penalty for the monolithic HAAS shaft versus the 2-hour ARJES cassette exchange.
The ARJES asynchronous kinematic delivers a 118 lb-ft baseline torque across the full 11–35 rpm range, modulated per shaft by the SCU.
The HAAS Tyron 1500's synchronized twin-shaft mechanical drive is locked into a fixed ~25 rpm ratio with a torque ceiling around 103 lb-ft — meaning the HAAS cannot back off rpm to apply more torque to a contaminated feedstock the way the ARJES can.
Advantage
500h hydrostatic service interval vs 250h mechanical
ARJES hydrostatic drive requires 500-hour service intervals; the HAAS synchronized mechanical gearbox demands 250-hour cycles — doubling planned downtime over a 10,000-hour horizon and demanding a 40-part gearbox rebuild kit at the 5,000-hour mark.
Advantage
Rebar concrete on-spec for ARJES, risk-mode for HAAS
The Impaktor 1000 shreds reinforced concrete with steel rebar on demand via its asynchronous kinematic, which decelerates the offending shaft within 100 ms while the second shaft keeps pulling.
The HAAS Tyron 1500 synchronized gearbox is vulnerable to rebar wrapping that locks both shafts simultaneously — typically requiring the full 96-hour hardfacing + shaft-extraction cycle.
ARJES Impaktor 250 EVO II vs Pronar MRW 2.85 — Single-Shaft vs Dual-Shaft Shredder
Pronar MRW 2.85 — a Polish single-shaft slow-speed shredder (19.5 t, Scania DC09 265 kW) engineered for C&D and biomass, weighed against the ARJES Impaktor 250 EVO II (dual-shaft asynchronous hydrostatic, 14 t hooklift-compatible, 0.27 l/t fuel benchmark). The matchup exposes the 96-hour hardfacing downtime penalty of the monolithic Pronar shaft versus the 2-hour ARJES quick-change cassette system.
The ARJES quick-change cassette system returns the Impaktor 250 EVO II to production in ~2 hours after a shaft incident.
The monolithic Pronar shaft requires 96 hours of welding, multi-pass hardfacing, stress relief and grinding per incident — a 48× production-availability delta that drives the TCO math on any site with rebar contamination.
Advantage
14t hooklift compatibility vs 19.5t oversize permit
At 14 t operating weight the Impaktor 250 EVO II mounts on a standard hooklift trailer — no special permits, no escort vehicles, no lowboy logistics.
The 19.5 t Pronar MRW 2.85 crosses into oversize-permit territory across most CEE/Balkan jurisdictions, adding €0.18–0.35 per kilometre of mobilisation and 5–10 business days of permit lead time per site relocation.
Advantage
0.27 l/t fuel floor vs ~0.75 l/t single-shaft baseline
The ARJES Impaktor 250 EVO II publishes a 0.27 l/t fuel benchmark — the dataset's reference floor for mobile shredder efficiency.
The Pronar MRW 2.85 single-shaft mechanical drive, with its higher parasitic transmission losses and fixed-rpm operating point, runs an estimated 0.65–0.85 l/t depending on feedstock — a 2.5–3× energy penalty that compounds across the 10,000-hour TCO horizon.
