Boulware Equipment Relocates and Upgrades Cresswood Grinder for Pallet Factory in Nashville, TN

At Boulware Equipment LLC, we specialize in building, relocating, upgrading, and servicing industrial wood waste recycling and dust collection systems for pallet and manufacturing facilities across the country. Our mission is to help companies improve operational efficiency, reduce disposal costs, and achieve measurable landfill avoidance through engineered, turn-key solutions.

One of our recent projects involved working with Pallet Factory, relocating an existing Cresswood grinder from their Memphis, TN facility and reinstalling it at their Nashville, TN operation. By combining equipment relocation with a proprietary Boulware automation system, we transformed an older grinder into a fully optimized wood scrap grinding and wood product recycling system.

The Challenge: Expanding Wood Scrap Processing Capacity

Pallet Factory had an older Cresswood grinder operating at their Memphis, TN location. As their Nashville operation grew, they needed additional wood scrap grinding capacity but wanted to maximize existing assets instead of purchasing an entirely new system.

The goal was to:

• Relocate the grinder efficiently

• Reinstall it at the Nashville facility

• Upgrade the system for automation

• Improve wood product recycling

• Support long-term landfill avoidance

They turned to Boulware Equipment to handle the project from start to finish.

The Solution: Disassembly, Relocation, and Proprietary Boulware Automation

Boulware Equipment carefully disassembled the Cresswood grinder at the Memphis location and transported it to Nashville. Our team then:

• Reinstalled and aligned the grinder

• Integrated conveyors and loadout systems

• Added a proprietary Boulware automated processing system

• Implemented metal separation technology

• Commissioned and tested the entire setup

The upgraded system now performs:

• Efficient wood scrap grinding

• Automated separation of nails and metal from processed wood

• Direct transfer of processed wood into a trailer

• Streamlined wood product recycling

• Ongoing landfill avoidance

Instead of paying to dispose of pallet scrap, Pallet Factory now benefits from a reliable recycling process that turns wood waste into a reusable product.

100% Turn-Key Engineering and Recycling Management

Like all Boulware installations, this relocation and upgrade project was delivered as a 100% turn-key solution. That means we handled:

• Planning and project coordination

• Engineering and system layout

• Disassembly and transport logistics

• Mechanical and electrical installation

• Automation integration

• Startup and commissioning

Beyond installation, Boulware also manages the processing, outsourcing, and selling of the recycled wood material, allowing Pallet Factory to focus on production while we handle the recycling logistics.

Long-Term Service and Performance Support

At Boulware Equipment LLC, we don’t just move equipment—we enhance and protect it. Our ongoing service support ensures the relocated grinder continues operating at peak performance.

We provide:

• Preventive maintenance

• Mechanical inspections

• Wear-part replacement

• Electrical troubleshooting

• System optimization

This long-term support protects Pallet Factory’s investment while maintaining dependable wood scrap grinding and consistent wood product recycling at their Nashville facility.

The Result: Asset Maximization and Sustainable Recycling

By relocating and upgrading the existing grinder from Memphis, TN to Nashville, Pallet Factory avoided the cost of purchasing new equipment while still achieving improved automation and processing capacity.

Today, the Nashville operation benefits from:

• Automated wood scrap processing

• Reliable metal separation

• Reduced landfill dependency

• Lower waste disposal costs

• Efficient wood product recycling

• Dependable Boulware service support

This project highlights how Boulware Equipment LLC helps customers maximize assets while achieving long-term landfill avoidance and operational efficiency.
