  • Debarking/delimbing apparatus
    Patent number: 5249613
    Abstract: A debarking/delimbing apparatus having upper and lower flail drums mounted diagonally relative to a feed line of the apparatus and the upper and lower flail drums being mounted transverse to one another. The upper flail drum moves towards and away from the feed line to accommodate various size logs. The diagonal mounting of the flail drums utilizes a greater amount of the flail surface area of each drum thereby allowing the flails to wear more evenly and prolonging their life.
