The seller has supplied detailed measurements and configuration information for this older Brewco five-head horizontal resaw, but limited ownership and production history is available.
The machine was configured as a heavy-duty industrial resaw with five individually powered cutting heads. Each saw head reportedly uses its own 20 HP electric motor.
The seller has been straightforward regarding the present condition and reports that the machine needs to be rebuilt.
No ownership duration, previous production totals, exact products previously manufactured, maintenance records, or date of last operation were provided.
The machine is therefore being offered as an industrial rebuild project rather than a production-ready resaw.
The asking price was previously $30,000 and has now been reduced to $27,999 OBO. The seller wants the machine moved and is encouraging serious buyers to make a reasonable offer.
Available in Reedsville, Wisconsin, this used Brewco 5-head resaw for sale has now been reduced from $30,000 to $27,999 OBO. The seller is motivated, wants the machine moved, and is encouraging serious buyers to make an offer.
This older heavy-duty horizontal band-resaw system is configured with five cutting heads, five individual 20 HP electric motors, 36-inch band wheels, hydraulic belt feed, hydraulic hold-down components, variable feed speed, hydraulic head-spacing adjustment, and an included hydraulic power pack.
The seller has clearly disclosed that the machine needs to be rebuilt. It is therefore being marketed as an industrial resaw project for a sawmill, pallet operation, lumber-remanufacturing business, machinery rebuilder, or wood-products company with the ability to inspect, repair, wire, install, and recommission an older production machine.
Price Reduced — Seller Wants It Moved
The asking price has been reduced from $30,000 to $27,999 OBO.
The seller is motivated to sell and is open to reasonable offers. Buyers with the equipment, personnel, electrical capability, and mechanical experience required to rebuild a multi-head resaw are encouraged to take a serious look.
This is not being represented as a production-ready machine. The opportunity is in the heavy-duty five-head configuration and the amount of major equipment included for a buyer prepared to rebuild it.
Five-Head Production Configuration
This Brewco is equipped with five horizontal band-saw heads, allowing multiple cuts to be made as material travels through the machine.
Each head is powered independently by a 20 HP electric motor, providing approximately 100 combined saw-head horsepower.
Depending on blade spacing, material dimensions, feed speed, and finished-product requirements, a five-head arrangement can reduce the number of passes needed compared with a single-head resaw.
Potential applications may include:
- Pallet deck boards
- Pallet stringer material
- Cant breakdown
- Fence boards
- Crating lumber
- Dunnage
- Hardwood lumber
- Softwood lumber
- Dimensional wood products
- Reclaimed-lumber processing
- Lumber recovery
- Lumber remanufacturing
The seller reports approximately 7 inches of maximum cutting width and 14 inches of maximum cutting height.
Minimum board thickness is reported at approximately 7/16 inch, with maximum board thickness reported at approximately 6 inches.
Because the exact Brewco model, year, and original factory configuration have not been provided, buyers should independently verify these capacities before purchasing.
Five Individual 20 HP Electric Motors
Each saw head has its own 20 HP electric motor.
Seller-provided electrical information includes:
- Five electric motors
- 20 HP per cutting head
- Approximately 100 combined saw-head horsepower
- 460 volts
- Three-phase power
- 60 Hz
- Approximately 1,750 RPM
Motor starters and the main control panel are not included.
An electrical disconnect, emergency-stop system, and safety interlocks are also not reported as included.
Any buyer planning to put this machine back into production should have the electrical system evaluated and properly configured by a qualified industrial electrician.
Heavy-Duty Band-Saw Components
Seller-reported saw-head information includes:
- Five horizontal band-saw heads
- Five sets of 36-inch band wheels
- Approximately 1½-inch wheel-face width
- Approximately 1¼-inch blade width
- Approximately 15-foot, 6-inch blade length
- Six blades reportedly included
- Air blade tensioning
- Sandwich-style blade guides
- Hydraulic head-spacing adjustment
Blade thickness, kerf, tooth configuration, and exact replacement-blade specifications were not supplied and should be verified before ordering replacement blades.
Hydraulic Belt Feed and Hold-Down System
Material is moved through the machine using a hydraulic belt-feed system.
The seller also reports:
- Hydraulic feed drive
- Hydraulic hold-down components
- Variable feed speed
- Hydraulic head-spacing adjustment
The machine does not include an infeed conveyor, outfeed conveyor, or return system.
A prospective buyer should inspect the feed belt, bearings, rollers, hydraulic motors, cylinders, adjustment mechanisms, and related components as part of determining the scope of the rebuild.
Hydraulic Power Pack Included
A hydraulic power pack is included with the machine.
The seller reports approximately 15 GPM pump flow.
The hydraulic system may support the feed drive, hold-down components, and head-spacing system, although the complete original hydraulic configuration has not been confirmed.
Important specifications that remain unknown include:
- Hydraulic operating pressure
- Reservoir capacity
- Hydraulic motor horsepower
- Pump make and model
- Control-valve configuration
- Current hose condition
Buyers should inventory the hydraulic components and determine what repairs or replacement parts are needed.
Machine Needs Rebuilding
The seller specifically states that this Brewco resaw needs to be rebuilt.
No recent rebuild, electrical modernization, hydraulic overhaul, motor replacement, bearing replacement, or control-system upgrade has been reported.
No recent operating demonstration has been supplied.
A buyer should expect to evaluate items such as:
- Band wheels
- Wheel bearings
- Shafts
- Blade guides
- Blade-tensioning equipment
- Saw-head frames
- Electric motors
- Feed belt
- Feed-drive components
- Hydraulic pump
- Reservoir
- Hydraulic motors
- Cylinders
- Head-spacing mechanisms
- Structural welds
- Guards
- Wiring
