Bruks Klöckner drum chipper ordered to support Bioena sustainability goals

“For Bioena, the choice was clear,” says Rafael Escamilla, Project Development Engineer, Bruks Siwertell. “Our Bruks Klöckner drum chippers have a proven track record for performance and reliability. With our strong presence in South America, we are excited to support Bioena in this project, and by fast-tracking the delivery, we are demonstrating our commitment to meeting its timeline and operational needs.”

For Bioena, the horizontal-fed Bruks Klöckner drum chipper has a customised 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.

“This partnership not only underscores Bruks Siwertell’s expertise in wood-processing technology but also celebrates our mutual commitment to environmental stewardship,” adds Escamilla. “Together, Bruks Siwertell and Bioena are proving that innovative solutions are able to drive meaningful change in renewable energy.” Engineered to process whole eucalyptus logs at 50 tph, 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 1Q25.
