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.

We Have the Technology. We Can Rebuild it.
Tuesday, July 11th, 2023
One of our customers recently inherited a Brunette BioSizer 4872B that had been purchased new in 2010. When they asked about the thirteen-year-old machine — we answered, We have the technology. We can rebuild it.
But what does it mean to rebuild an entire machine? Refurbishing a wood-processing machine such as a wood waste grinder or a drum chipper includes disassembling, sandblasting, replacing all worn items, electrical updates, repainting the entire frame and more.
Our service technicians are experts in mechanical, hydraulic, lubrication, pneumatic, electrical, and control systems. Not only do they have experience with these systems, but they also understand how each of our Brunette machines performs.
Read the full story in our latest E-News to find out how our service techs transformed the old Brunette BioSizer on the left, to the as-new one on the right.

Thank You, TP&EE! We Had a Blast!
Wednesday, October 5th, 2022
It was a great show and we had a blast! This year’s Timber Processing & Energy Expo return to the Portland Exposition Center was a welcome event that we were excited to attend.
The attendees were as enthusiastic as we were to be at the show for three days of schmoozing, catching up and discovering what’s new in the sawmill and lumber industries. With over 800 exhibitors coupled with two stimulating conferences, this show had something for everyone in the timber industry.
We were happy to reunite with old friends, connect with new faces and form new partnerships, in real time. Moreover, it was energizing to be in a big room filled with people having conversations and sharing memories.
Team Brunette Comments
Our sales team had plenty of good things to say about this year’s event. A few of their comments were:
“This show was an eye opener for me, it was interesting and informative to see the competition up close and personal as well as having a chance to view equipment upstream and downstream from ours in a mill site.”
“My personal view on the show was excellent, great to be in front of customers once again.”
“No question, people were enjoying the meet and greet part of the trade shows, opportunities to shake hands and renew past friendships all were very visible.”
“It was exciting to see people out and about, milling around asking questions, shaking hands, just like old times!”
“It was a good experience with a great BMC team!”
Team Brunette had busy, exhaustive three days at the show, but overall had a great time at TP&EE 2022! We are already planning for the 2024 show!
Thank you!
Many thanks to our hard-working friendly sales team. [Pictured in the black shirts] Sonia Marchesini, Patrick Browne, Ryan Coates, Colleen Koustas, and Glenn Clarke.
Thank you to all of you who stopped by to say hello and talk shop with the team. Thank you as well, Hatton-Brown Expositions, an affiliate of Timber Processing magazine, for hosting this successful and well-organized event!
