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!

The Spirit of Giving
Monday, January 3rd, 2022
What a year it’s been! We had all hoped for a “return to normal” in 2021, but instead we were still figuring out a “new normal”. But looking back, we have accomplished amazing things in this past year.
With the COVID-19 pandemic still raging, we all had to be flexible, understanding, and open to change. We perfected the art of online meetings. We managed to stay connected to each other in creative and fundamental ways. We didn’t give up and we managed, for the most part, to stay positive and take good care of ourselves and others in ways we never imagined.
We forged new paths and adjusted our lives/businesses to face the challenges and transitions that 2021 brought us. And we did a great job!
One thing that stayed the same, however, was our collective desire to help our most vulnerable citizens. It has been a high stress time for everyone, and food insecurity has increased during the pandemic. Many families and individuals who never anticipated using the food bank were faced with the harsh reality of empty cupboards.
Once again, in the spirit of giving, Brunette Machinery along with Murray Latta Progressive Machine, pitched in to help provide food for hungry families in our community. From November 15 to December 23, 2021, we filled eight boxes with non-perishable food items to be donated to the Surrey Food Bank.
Kudos to everyone at Brunette Machinery, and Murray Latta Progressive Machines for helping to make the holidays a bit brighter for those at risk in our community.

To Our Valued Customers
Thursday, November 18th, 2021
November 18, 2021
As you are aware, Southern British Columbia has been hit with an extreme rainstorm that caused widespread flooding, mudslides, and highway washouts. As a result, all connecting highways and rail lines from the Fraser Valley to the coast have been closed.
These closures have affected our shipment of parts and equipment to our customers in B.C. and the rest of Canada.
Once the flooding has subsided and the highways have reopened, we expect to resume our normal shipping schedules. The timeline on this is still to be determined.
Please read our official press release.

Remembrance Day
Wednesday, November 10th, 2021
Remembrance Day, originally called Armistice Day, continues to be observed on November 11 every year, in Canada and other countries, to honour and remember the men and women who served during times of war and peace.
Every year, since 1919, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, Canadians commemorate the armistice agreement that ended the First World War at 11:00 a.m. on November 11, 1919.
We pause in a moment of silence.
For those who leave never to return. For those who return but are never the same. We remember.
Our office will be closed on Thursday, November 11th, 2021 in observance of Remembrance Day.
