Debarker (Forestry Equipment)

Debarker



A debarker is a machine used to strip or remove bark from logs before processing. Debarking refers to the process of using machines to strip or remove bark. Debarking is considered a part of normal sawmill operations. A more recent trend however is the debarking of logs at an actual logging site before they even reach a saw or pulp mill. This has led to the development of portable debarking units such as flail ring debarkers. One of the primary reasons for debarking is to minimize the amount of fibre loss from logs.
