METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HANDLING LOGS TO BE DEBARKED

摘要

A method and an apparatus for handling logs (6) to be debarked so that the surface of the logs is torn or cut by means of blades (15) moving under the logs in relation to the logs, said blades projecting upwards from the bottom (13) carrying the logs. The direction of the mutual cutting motion between the logs and the blades deviates from the longitudinal direction of the logs. The blades (15) and the logs (6) are moved in relation to each other so that for part of the time the logs are out of contact with the blades, higher up than the cutting edges of the blades, and for part of the time the logs are in contact with the cutting edges of the blades.
