PRODUCTS BY CATEGORY

BUTT END REDUCERS

Our butt-end reducing solutions are designed to optimize log geometry at the very start of your process—improving scanning accuracy, protecting downstream equipment, and ultimately increasing yield and production efficiency. By removing problematic butt flare and irregularities, these systems ensure that every log enters your line in the best possible condition for consistent, high-quality processing.

DEBARKERS

We offer solutions for all industrial debarking needs in locations where logs can be fed into the debarker one at a time. Our extensive line of products means that you are sure to find a suitable machine for any debarking situation, regardless of the species of wood.

KILNS

When it comes to timber drying, consistency and efficiency are everything. Hildebrand Brunner dry kilns deliver both—offering a comprehensive range of state-of-the-art solutions designed for South African pine species and hardwoods. Whether you’re running a high-volume sawmill or a specialised operation, these kilns are engineered to optimise drying quality, reduce energy consumption, and maximise throughput.

LOG YARD

The logyard is where freshly cut logs are sorted, scaled, and stored after arriving at the sawmill. Right from the start, MiCROTEC scanners and software solutions support sawmills in the areas of accurate measuring, sorting, and optimization of logs. CT Log, the unique computer tomography scanner in the wood sector, allows a complete 3D reconstruction of the inner features of the log, enabling optimization of the board output before sawing.

MOBILE SAWMILLS

Start your own Sawmilling business with our entry-level to high production professional sawmilling equipment. Our sawmills have been innovatively designed for durability, portability and precision cutting and above all boast affordable prices a hobbyist can justify. We supply Circular Sawblade Sawmills also known as Swing Blade Sawmills, Wide Slabbers and Bandsaw Sawmills. Our Sawmills are capable of milling softwoods and hardwoods up to 6m in length as well as live edge slabbing.

SHARPENING MACHINES

Our sharpening solutions, powered by world-class Vollmer and Kohlbacher machinery, are designed to restore your saw blades and cutting tools to factory-sharp precision while improving yield quality, minimising tool wear, and supporting seamless, cost-effective production.

SHREDDING & BRIQUETTING

Our shredding solutions, built around industry-leading WEIMA technology, are designed to transform wood waste into a valuable, reusable resource—while improving efficiency, reducing disposal costs, and supporting sustainable production.

WET MILL

Our wetmill solutions are designed to maximise recovery and efficiency during the primary breakdown of logs. From log handling and debarking to sawing and material handling, we supply high-performance equipment that delivers reliable production, accurate cutting, and consistent timber quality.
