Boulware Equipment Installs and Relocates Turn-Key Wood Scrap Grinding System for Pallet Recycler in Richmond, VA
At Boulware Equipment LLC, we specialize in designing and servicing industrial wood waste recycling and dust collection systems for pallet recyclers and manufacturing companies worldwide. Our goal is to help businesses reduce disposal costs, increase operational efficiency, and achieve long-term landfill avoidance through dependable automation and engineered solutions.
One of our recent projects involved working with a Pallet Recycler in Richmond, VA, where growing volumes of pallet scrap required a modern, automated system for wood scrap grinding and wood product recycling. Boulware Equipment installed a powerful Cresswood grinder and integrated it with our proprietary Boulware Wood Scrap Processing System to streamline the facility’s scrap handling and recycling operations.
The Challenge: Managing High Volumes of Pallet Scrap
The pallet recycler in Richmond, VA processes large amounts of broken pallets, boards, and scrap lumber every day. Without an efficient system, the company faced:
-
High labor requirements for scrap handling
-
Expensive landfill disposal costs
-
Inefficient processing of pallet waste
-
Limited ability to maximize wood product recycling
To overcome these challenges, the company partnered with Boulware Equipment to install a complete wood scrap grinding system designed to automate the entire process from scrap intake to recycled material output.
The Solution: Cresswood Grinder + Proprietary Boulware Automation
Boulware Equipment installed a heavy-duty Cresswood grinder engineered specifically for pallet scrap processing. The grinder was integrated with the proprietary Boulware Wood Scrap Processing System, which provides:
-
Automated wood scrap grinding
-
Complete metal separation to remove nails, screws, and fasteners
-
Clean, uniform wood fiber output suitable for wood product recycling
-
Efficient conveyor automation from grinding through final loadout
-
Reduced labor and improved plant workflow
With this system in place, the Pallet Recycler in Richmond, VA is able to process pallet scrap efficiently and turn it into a reusable material rather than paying for landfill disposal.
System Relocation When the Company Expanded
When the pallet recycler later moved to a new facility in Richmond, VA, Boulware Equipment returned to relocate the entire grinding system. Our team carefully disassembled, transported, and reinstalled the complete Cresswood grinder and Boulware processing system, ensuring it continued operating at full capacity in the new location.
Because Boulware engineered and installed the system originally, the relocation process was completed efficiently and with minimal downtime, allowing the recycler to maintain continuous wood scrap grinding and wood product recycling operations.
100% Turn-Key Engineering and Recycling Management
As with all Boulware installations, this project was delivered as a 100% turn-key system, meaning we handled every step of the process including:
-
System planning and engineering
-
Equipment fabrication and integration
-
Grinder installation and alignment
-
Conveyor and metal separation system installation
-
Electrical controls and automation
-
Startup, commissioning, and operator training
In addition, Boulware manages the processing and sale of the recycled wood material, allowing the recycler to benefit financially from wood product recycling while we handle the logistics.

-
