There Goes Another Grizzly Mill Hog
Friday, January 14th, 2022
When one of our customers, a pulp and paper mill in the British Columbian interior, inquired about a simple, low maintenance, rugged wood waste grinder capable of producing quality product at a high-volume output, Brunette’s sales team recommended the Brunette/CBI Grizzly Mill Hog.
Known as the heavyweight champion of wood waste grinders, the Grizzly Mill Hog is designed to be the most rugged hog on the market. It will handle almost any material thrown at it and keep on running.
The Grizzly Mill features a solid steel, high-inertia, offset helix rotor with four rows of alternating spiral striker bars. The Hog is performance engineered to easily process large butt ends, stringybark, demolition material, typical urban waste as well as sawmill waste wood debris into a quality biomass fuel. The spiral rotor spreads material equally across the full width for maximum throughput while providing even wear on the anvil and grate.
The Grizzly Mill Hog’s robust construction makes extremely tolerant of metal and rocks. The anvil and grate are protected with shear pins and can swing away to eliminate any damage due to processing of rocks or large pieces of metal.
Superior ergonomic design makes the Grizzly Mill extremely safe, easy, and inexpensive to maintain. The heavy-duty frame is covered with replaceable, high wear resistant bolt-on liners. A clam shell opening, rotor lock and safety bar ensures safe access for easy maintenance. Other features of the Grizzly Mill Hog that were key to our customer’s requirements include:
- Large infeed opening
- Twenty-four striker bars, tungsten carbide
- Solid steel bearing housing
- Heavy-duty two-position rolled grate
- Progressive rectangular hole pattern
- Two shear pins c/w holders
- Swing-away anvil, 6″ thick
- Two hydraulic cylinders
- Mechanical safety lock
- Electrical safety interlocks, upper frame, anvil, grate, and rotor motion
The Brunette team collaborated with customer to ensure that the Grizzly Mill Hog would fulfil their needs. Then the work of building the machine began. Drawings were approved, materials and parts were ordered up and the process of building the 44,600 lb. machine began.
During the last weeks of December, the Grizzly Mill was painted, assembled, and tested before it was wrapped up and shipped to our customer in the West Kootenay region of BC.
Another job well done!

It’s a Wrap!
Monday, October 22nd, 2018
It was an incredible few days in Portland at the Timber Processing and Energy Expo! The event featured exhibits from major equipment companies and suppliers in the wood processing and timber markets — and included workshops examining topics ranging from artificial intelligence in the sawmill industry to the revival of the North American wood panel market. The show had something for everyone and was attended by top industry professionals from across the globe.
We brought along one of our Brunette Veneer Chippers (with permission from its new owner, Richmond Plywood) where it made a big splash on the floor of the Portland Exposition Center. Amid the oohs and ahs, the team had the opportunity to show off the chipper and explain all the advantages of our machines to the crowd. We also launched our newest product line at the expo: CBI Magnum Force stationary, electric horizontal grinders. While both pieces of equipment commanded a lot of enthusiasm, we heard that the hit of the show was the Brunette barbecue on Wednesday night!
Thank you, TP & Energy Expo, for a great show — see you in 2020!
