Overview of Fulghum Fibres' Brewton, Alabama Facility 

Fulghum Fibres' Brewton, Alabama chipping facility was built and started up in 1993. The mill was one of the first super mills built by Fulghum Fibres.

The chip mill processes approximately 1,000,000 tons per year of chips with 60% pine and 40% hardwood for Georgia Pacific. It also has a Fulghum 125' and 155' variable radius crane with a Fulghum 14' x 90' drum debarker

Pictured above is the main mill line with the control cab located on the right.

The mill also has a small radial stacker. The stacker is fed from the accepts conveyor after the drum screens (left center of picture)

A recent addition to the chip mill is the storage pad with the tripper conveyor. This pad can store approximately 7,000 tons of chips along with 2,000 tons that can be stored on the radial stacker storage pad

.

One of the main focuses at each of our mills is cleanliness. A clean mill is a safe mill.

Changing chipper knives on the 120" Fulghum chipper. This process is done every 4 to 8 hours depending on the specie being chipped or variances in chip quality.

Unloading log trucks.

The control cab is one of the most important locations in the mill as this operator controls and monitors the incoming wood to the chipper infeed. The chipper is a Fulgum 120" - 14 knife horizontal feed bottom discharge.
