Debarking

Rotary debarkers use a stationary bin and a variety of shaft-based rotating tooling. The method provides controlled agitation and abrasion of the logs or fibrous materials inside the bin. The tooling can be aggressive or passive, depending on the application.

Debarking occurs both due to the action of the tooling directly on the logs affecting the bark-to-wood bond and by the abrasion of log on log as they rotate and move inside the bin.
