Commitment to Sustainability
At Silvertree Biomass Solutions, sustainability isn’t a buzzword — it’s built into everything we do. From repurposing waste wood into clean, usable products to helping reduce emissions through smarter land practices, we’re focused on real, lasting environmental impact.

Cutting-Edge Equipment for Safer, Faster Work
Most chippers on the market struggle with anything but clean, straight logs — but our CBI 5800 horizontal grinder is built for the real world. With 800 horsepower and weighing in at 34 tonnes, it powers through everything from whole logs and shelter belts to tangled slash, stumps, and even dirty, metal-contaminated material. It’s designed to tackle tough jobs like demolition wood and storm debris that would jam or wreck lesser machines. What sets it apart even more is the level of control: we can customise the output size to suit your needs — from coarse wood chunks to fine, sawdust-like material. Whether you're after mulch, compost, biomass fuel, or animal bedding, our grinder delivers consistent, high-quality results without the hassle of pre-sorting or clean material.
