Bruks Siwertell has received an order for a state-of-the-art Bruks Klöckner drum chipper from Bioena, a leading bioenergy company in Colombia. It will deliver consistent quality wood chips and features a custom-designed knife and infeed configuration, supporting Bioena’s commitment to sustainable, high-capacity energy production.
Bioena is at the forefront of the renewable bioenergy industry. Its industrial plant, located in Santa Marta, produces biomass wood pellets from sustainably sourced wood, which play a vital role in the global move away from the use of fossil fuels.
Bruks Siwertell’s pioneering fiber- and wood-processing equipment and bulk handling technology is already playing a pivotal role in supporting renewable energy transitions worldwide.
For Bioena, the horizontal-fed Bruks Klöckner drum chipper has a customized knife configuration to produce specifically sized wood chips, and its first two infeed rollers, closest to the drum, are segmented, enabling efficient and powerful material flows into the chipper. It also has a tailored infeed belt conveyor, while Hardox steel components, including the rotor, rotor hood, chip mantle, and chip pockets, enhance the chipper’s durability and performance.
Engineered to process whole eucalyptus logs at 50t/h, the new Bruks drum chipper will enable Bioena to expand its production capacity and keep pace with its growth and sustainability goals. The unit is planned for delivery from Germany in the Q1 2025.
