Brunette Machinery Co. chooses the Smart Shear Pin system
Canada-based Brunette Machinery Company has chosen to offer the Smart Shear Pin system in conjunction with its Grizzly Mill Hog, which is designed to handle almost any material thrown at it.
Kirk Forbes, President at Brunette Machinery Company says, “We are really pleased to offer Anstee Indication Systems’, Smart Shear Pin system. Our wood-processing machines are engineered for durability and designed to handle the toughest jobs, but even the most rugged grinder can be damaged by a shear pin crack or failure.
“What stands out most is that this system is an inventive solution to a common dilemma in our industry. Also, because the Smart Shear Pin system can be retrofitted as well as factory-installed, we can offer this innovative feature to both existing and new customers.”
Brunette’s Grizzly Mill is extremely heavy duty and highly tolerant of rock, metal, demolition debris, railroad ties and all kinds of mill wood waste. The installation of our Smart Shear Pin system will provide an additional level of durability and protection for operators, ensuring failed shear pins are instantly identified and replaced before further damage occurs.
As well as helping to protect the machine and reduce the cost of replacement parts, the Smart Shear Pin system will support operators in maximising machine uptime and profitability.
