Abstract: A method for characterizing undebarked wooden logs and computing optimal debarking parameters in real time is provided. The method comprises a scanning device upstream of a debarker for providing data, usually in the form of images, to a deep learning algorithm model. The model may be trained with human assistance or not to detect and identify, with an acceptable amount of certainty, characteristics of undebarked logs. The characteristics are used in an optimization software and classified in an index table. The index table is used to determine optimized parameters for debarking the log.

Abstract: The present discloses is a replaceable threaded insert for mounting a knife assembly or knife holder to a chipping head. The replaceable threaded insert has a generally frustoconical shape allowing the insert to be slid in an opening of the chipping head. The inner portion of the insert is threaded. A knife holder may be positioned over the chipping head and a bolt may be inserted in an aperture of the knife holder and in the threaded inner portion of the threaded insert, thus attaching the knife holder to the chipping head.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a phase shifting debarker comprising crank arm mechanisms. The shifting debarker comprises a phase shifting mechanism powered by a main motor and connected to an operative assembly by the mean of timing belts. The main motor is configured to control, by means of a belt, the movement of the phase shifting mechanism which is adapted to control the movement of the operative assembly by means of the timing belts. The operative assembly generally comprises an actuator ring and a main ring. The activation of the shifting mechanism creates a shift phase between the actuator ring and the main ring while rotating at the same speed. The shift phase creates pressure from the rings to a crank arm mechanism, the crank arm mechanism transmitting said pressure to a pressure control system that finally transmits it to the operative assembly arms for debarking.
