Boulware Equipment Installs Turn-Key Wood Scrap Grinding System for Propak in Salt Lake City, Utah
At Boulware Equipment LLC, we design and build advanced wood waste recycling and dust collection systems for manufacturing and industrial companies around the world. Our mission is to help companies reduce disposal costs, streamline operations, and achieve reliable landfill avoidance through engineered automation and dependable equipment.
One of our recent projects involved working with Propak in Salt Lake City, Utah, where pallet scrap and wood waste from daily operations required a more efficient processing solution. Boulware Equipment delivered a complete grinding and recycling system designed to automate wood scrap grinding.
The Challenge: Managing Pallet Scrap Efficiently
As a large logistics and packaging operation, Propak generates a steady volume of broken pallets and wood scrap during normal operations. Without an automated solution in place, managing this waste stream can become labor intensive and expensive, often requiring landfill disposal.
The team at Propak in Salt Lake City, Utah needed a reliable system that could handle continuous wood scrap grinding, separate metal from processed wood, and convert pallet scrap into a reusable product while supporting landfill avoidance.
The Solution: Cresswood Grinder + Proprietary Boulware Automation
To meet these needs, Boulware Equipment installed a powerful Cresswood grinder specifically designed for pallet scrap processing. The grinder was integrated into a proprietary Boulware Wood Scrap Processing System, creating a fully automated solution that delivers:
-
Efficient wood scrap grinding for pallet scrap and wood waste
-
Automatic metal separation to remove nails, screws, and fasteners
-
Clean recycled wood fiber suitable for wood product recycling
-
Conveyor-based automation to move material from grinding to loadout
-
Reduced labor requirements and improved facility efficiency
With this system in place, Propak in Salt Lake City, Utah now processes pallet scrap more efficiently while converting wood waste into a valuable recycled product.
