Apparatus for continuously processing wood comprises a pressurized grinding chamber, a grinding stone which is mounted for rotation in the grinding chamber, a device for feeding wood into the grinding chamber to form a primary groundwood stock therein, and a device for discharging the primary groundwood stock from the chamber without allowing gas to escape from the chamber to atmosphere. The discharging device comprises a stick crusher for crushing sticks present in the primary groundwood stock thereby to produce a secondary groundwood stock and an outlet for continuously discharging the secondary groundwood stock while preserving a hydraulic seal of groundwood stock thereby to maintain the groundwood stock in the apparatus under superatmospheric pressure.
