Need a Custom Engineered Solution for Your Next Mill Project?

Thursday, October 19th, 2023

Brunette Machinery is renowned across North America for manufacturing and supplying forestry equipment such as the Brunette Drum Chipper. But did you know that we can provide custom engineered turn-key solutions based on your unique requirements?

Our Latest Project

Recently, Brunette Machinery designed, manufactured and installed a custom engineered biomass system consisting of a single 18-roll Disc Scalping Screen, a specialized infeed chute assembly, and two Brunette 4872B BioSizers®. The infeed chute, complete with a Diverter Gate, can convey material to both BioSizers operating simultaneously or one at a time.

Our innovative engineering and sales teams worked closely with our client to custom design an infeed chute with a diverter gate to handle the mill’s high volume, increase productivity and reduce maintenance costs. Our team devised this chute assembly to accommodate the customer’s budgetary restraints while fitting the new equipment into the original space.

During the engineering phase, we measured the current area to confirm conformance with the engineering drawings supplied by the customer. We considered the type and volume of the material to be processed and discussed the project goals. Our team collaborated throughout the process with the customer to develop the perfect solution.

The resulting design met all the customer’s production requirements. This custom-engineered system fits into the designated space. The customer’s conveyor system will feed the new Disc Scalping Screen that will furnish the screened material to the new infeed chute that feeds both BioSizers.

Ask Us How a Custom Engineered Solution Can Work for You

Our talented team can fulfill your project’s specific requirements, from technical sales to engineering & design, manufacturing, installation, training, and parts & services.

Contact us to learn how we can deliver a custom engineered solution to help you get more from your mill.

WPAC Conference & AGM — We Were There

Friday, September 21st, 2018

We attended the Wood Pellet Association of Canada’s (WPAC) 2018 Conference and AGM this week along with wood pellet, biomass and bioenergy professionals from across North America, Europe and Asia. It was a great opportunity to learn about the emerging bioenergy industry and the impact it is having around the globe.

The speakers were from various sectors of the industry including Christian Hansen, the Regional Director and Senior Trade Commissioner of Global Affairs Canada, Pacific regional office in Vancouver, Fiona Murray, Vice President of industrial products at CN Rail, as well as other leaders in the wood pellet and biomass/bioenergy industries in Canada and the US.

The conference focussed on international developments in the domestic and global wood pellet industry such as new research and development in the science of biomass, the emerging and fast-growing pellet market in Asia and the most innovative pellet and bioenergy technologies that are being produced right now.

It was an interesting and well-organized event, with great speakers, a beautiful venue and ample opportunities for learning and networking with professionals from all areas of this exciting market.

We even had the good fortune to sample, John Swaan’s world famous pellet-smoked ribs at Tuesday evening’s barbeque and networking event. John is the pellet expert at Future Metrics and he is considered to be the “grandfather of wood pellets”.
