Brunette Flare Butt Reducer

Eliminate feeding problems inside and outside the mill. Each and every machine center in your mill will get relief!

The Brunette Flare Butt Reducer is designed to convert troublesome logs into high production and high recovery logs.

Removing the flare butt end from logs improves log handling and sorting, eliminates sand and pebbles often embedded in the flare butt end of a log and, improves alignment and log control during scanning.

The Brunette Flare Butt Reducer’s unique design and cutting geometry turns unwanted logs into valuable timber, while the robust construction reduces maintenance and improves uptime for continual return on investment.

Brunette’s Flare Butt Reducer is also available in a Dual Head model with all the same benefits as above. The DH model  features a custom-designed dual head that allows for smooth flare butt removal regardless of log orientation.
