This Bruks RE-TH 250 700 is a wood chipper — a machine designed to reduce timber offcuts, slabs, and wood waste into uniform chips for biomass fuel, board production, or disposal. Wood chippers of this type are sometimes referred to as drum chippers or disc chippers depending on their cutting mechanism, and they are a core piece of equipment in sawmill residue handling and wood processing facilities. Bruks is a well-established manufacturer of wood handling and chipping equipment, supplying systems to sawmills, pulp and paper operations, and biomass energy plants worldwide.
This particular chipper is offered as part of a complete 20-component residual wood disposal line originally built by Rudnick & Enners in 2011 and used in a sawmill for the automatic transport, sorting, and processing of slabs, sawdust, and wood waste. The chipper itself — listed as position 15 in the line — is a type RE-TH 250/700/5 unit driven by a 75 kW electric motor. It is fed by a dedicated conveyor belt measuring 3.60 metres in length and 500 mm in width, and a metal detector (position 14) is installed upstream to protect the machine from ferrous contamination. Immediately beneath the chipper sits a twin auger unit with a working width of 600 mm to collect and move freshly produced chips away.
The broader system that surrounds the chipper is extensive and fully described. Residue from multiple production lines is gathered by a series of vibrating chutes: two serving the edging line at 13.0 m × 650 mm and 15.0 m × 650 mm respectively; three covering the saw line at lengths of 8.50 m, 10.0 m, and 9.0 m, all 500 mm wide; one for the log carriage roller path at 7.50 m × 500 mm; and two for the trimming line at 11.0 m × 650 mm and 9.0 m × 650 mm. Material is further moved by a curved chain conveyor from the reducer (600 mm wide), a slab conveyor belt at 11.0 m × 300 mm, and a waste conveyor belt at 11.60 m × 300 mm. An auger conveyor handles sawdust separately, measuring 4.0 metres in length with a 300 mm diameter screw.
Downstream of the chipper, chips are conveyed by a curved chain conveyor (600 mm wide) to a Rudnick & Enners screen measuring 4.0 m × 2.0 m, which separates material by size. Oversized or reject material is routed onward by a curved chain conveyor (500/300 mm wide) to landfill, while accepted chips continue via a 600 mm wide chain conveyor to chip storage. The entire line is modular, has been disassembled, and is described by the seller as being in very good used condition with immediate availability from stock in Lugendorf, Austria.
