Bracke Group implements
changes
A lot has transpired at Robur Maskin, ForeCare and TTS Forest. The three
companies involved in forest regeneration are now assembled under the
parent company, Bracke Group. First, Robur Maskin is now called Bracke
Forest. And since the development and sales of the company’s
GIS/GPS-based system was so successful, they have divided ForeCare into
two companies. The GIS/GPS part is now called Bracke Systems. The
forestry consulting and training portion is called Bracke ForeCare.
Lastly, TTS Forest, which is a Finnish sales company, will now be called
Bracke TTS Oy. The changes were to create a strong, closely-knit and
aggressive group of companies with a mutual goal.

New Razorback wood hog from Rader
The Razorback wood hog from Rader offers a unique horizontal
feed-through fibre processing solution. The turbine-type wood hog
processes high production levels of wood waste with a controlled
discharge particle size, while using 40 to 50 per cent less energy.
Material entering the machine is quickly cut between the angled hammers
and attrition plates as it moves along the length of the rotor. The
360-degree helical cutting surface provides a hammermill hog that will
match the output of a conventional hog for 50 per cent of the
horsepower, the company says. The adjustable particle sizing allows for
boiler optimization. www.rader.com
