Debarking


Recommended Posts

Hi All...

Silly questiontime is here again.

 

I run a squad of guys carrying out telegraph pole processing, part of which involves 'peeling' the poles, or debarking them.

 

Just wondered if anybody else on here has done this in the past?? I'm trying to find a more streamlined way of upping production. At the moment the boys use peeling spades, but it is hard work and production is limited.

 

Any ideas??

There used to be a german company built HUGE mobile debarkers, costing around £500,000, with twin handleing cranes and massive engines. Company went bust in the early eighties as shortwooding became prominent.

 

The simple US built chain flail debarkers are very good bits of kit, but still very expensive...

 

or here's a good piece of kit, with a little bit of engineering it could be hooked up to a three phase generator and truck mounted -

Sounds a nice piece of kit that!!!

Wonder if I could dream something forwarder based to debark the poles in the wood before extraction
