Boulware Equipment Installs Turn-Key Wood Scrap Grinding System for Rex Lumber in Bristol, Florida

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 waste handling challenges, improve operational efficiency, and achieve reliable landfill avoidance through engineered automation and dependable processing equipment.

One of our recent projects involved Rex Lumber in Bristol, Florida, where wood scrap generated during daily operations needed a more efficient and streamlined processing solution. Boulware Equipment engineered and installed a dedicated grinding and conveying system designed to automate wood scrap grinding while improving overall material flow throughout the facility.


The Challenge: Handling Continuous Wood Scrap Generation

As a high-production lumber operation, Rex Lumber in Bristol, Florida generates a steady volume of wood scrap throughout the day. Without an efficient system to manage and process this material, it can create operational slowdowns, require additional labor, and take up valuable space within the facility.

The team at Rex Lumber needed a solution that could continuously handle wood scrap, simplify material movement, and improve workflow efficiency while supporting long-term landfill avoidance.


The Solution: Grinder and Conveyor Feed System

To meet these needs, Boulware Equipment designed and installed a robust wood scrap grinding system paired with a conveyor-fed infeed system. This setup allows wood scrap to be efficiently transported directly to the grinder, eliminating manual handling and improving consistency in processing.

The system operates by using a conveyor to continuously move wood scrap from the production area to the grinding unit. Once fed into the grinder, the material undergoes efficient wood scrap grinding, reducing it into a uniform and manageable form. This automated process improves throughput, reduces labor requirements, and enhances the overall efficiency of the operation.

By integrating the conveyor with the grinder, Boulware created a seamless system that keeps material moving and ensures consistent performance throughout the day.


100% Turn-Key Engineering and Installation

As with all Boulware projects, this installation for Rex Lumber in Bristol, Florida was delivered as a 100% turn-key system. Our team handled every aspect of the project, including:

  • System design and engineering tailored to the facility layout

  • Installation of the wood scrap grinding system

  • Integration of the conveyor-fed material handling system

  • Electrical controls and system startup

  • On-site commissioning and operator training

This turn-key approach ensures that every system is optimized for performance and reliability from day one.


Ongoing Service and Long-Term Reliability

Boulware Equipment remains committed to supporting our customers long after installation. We provide ongoing maintenance and technical support to ensure systems continue operating at peak performance.

For Rex Lumber in Bristol, Florida, Boulware offers routine inspections, maintenance services, and system optimization to keep the grinding and conveying system running efficiently and to protect the long-term investment.


The Result: Streamlined Processing and Improved Efficiency

Today, Rex Lumber in Bristol, Florida benefits from a streamlined grinding and conveying system that efficiently handles wood scrap from start to finish. The automated conveyor feed ensures a consistent flow of material to the grinder, while the grinding system improves processing efficiency and reduces operational bottlenecks.

With this solution in place, Rex Lumber has improved workflow, reduced manual handling, and enhanced overall facility performance—all with a reliable, engineered system built by Boulware Equipment.
