Bruks Siwertell has received an order for a second Bruks truck tipper platform for Domtar's Windsor paper mill in Quebec, Canada. The new contract follows the completion of a similar installation at the facility in August 2024. Both units have been ordered as part of an ongoing modernization program at the mill and are designed to perfectly integrate with the existing infrastructure.
Both new 19.9m (65ft) tipper platforms are part of a drive-over truck receiving system and replace long-serving equipment; a third truck dump has also been identified for modernization. Bruks tipper platforms offer a lifespan of around two million lift and lower cycles; a process that is usually completed in under nine minutes, making them an industry leader in high-volume applications.
The second Bruks truck tipper platform is planned for delivery in August 2025. All systems handle wood chips, which are destined for the mill's 450,000 metric ton annual capacity fiber line. The Windsor mill generates 90% of its energy from renewable resources, reuses more than 97% of its manufacturing byproducts, and plants half a million trees a year in Domtar-owned forests.
