    Abstract: A device for processing logs, comprises a deicing apparatus (11), a debarking apparatus (22), arranged downstream of the deicing apparatus, a thermal camera (30), arranged to acquire a thermal image of at least one log downstream of the debarking apparatus, and a processing device (40). The processing device (40) is configured to receive the thermal image from the thermal camera, to process the thermal image to determine a log surface temperature, and to provide a deicing control signal to the deicing apparatus (11) based on the log surface temperature. A method of processing logs is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A debarking machine is provided with a plurality of rotors disposed in parallel, and a gap between the rotors is blocked by a comb-tooth shape partition plate. The debarking machine is further provided with a log accommodating body, rotors rotatively mounted inside the log accommodating body and provided with debarking plates, a comb-tooth shape partition plate base disposed at a space between the rotors, a comb-tooth shape partition plate detachably mounted on the comb-tooth shape partition plate base, and a fixer for fastening the comb-tooth shape partition plate to the comb-tooth shape partition plate base. The comb-tooth shape partition plate is composed of partition plate elements divided along the axial directions the rotors, and each partition plate element is detachable separately. Thus the comb-tooth shape partition plates can be rebuilt and replaced easily.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a protective operator's station from which a machine operator may safely and effectively remotely control the various operations of a machine that may create flying debris. The invention includes a control panel mounted to an adjustable base, such as a tripod with extensible legs. The invention also includes one or more shields to protect the machine operator from flying debris. A substantially transparent shield is provided to protect the upper body and head of a machine operator without substantially impairing the operator's vision. A flexible lower shield or skirt may be provided to protect the lower body of the operator. In an alternative embodiment, the control panel, including one or more shields, may be secured to the body of the machine operator using a harness. The invention also relates to an improved remotely controlled stump cutter having a protective operator's station. The stump cutter may be provided with a detachable protective operator's station allowing the operator to detach the operator's station and remotely operate the stump cutter when desired or when conditions require.

    Abstract: The debarking machine of the instant invention includes a frame having a stationary central hub, a ring rotatably mounted on the frame for rotation about the hub having air-pressure-actuated tools carried on the ring. Power means are provided for rotating the ring. Air passage means extend from the central hub to the ring for supply actuating air to the tools. Air passage means includes a rotary-air-seal coupling, which comprises a substantially U-shaped channel formed of a pair of opposed L-shaped annular structures which extend about the hub and have a first air plenum carried therein. A pair of annular, floating seals are disposed on the interior side walls of the U-shaped channel and a rotary disc, having a second air plenum therein, is mounted on the ring and received in the U-shaped channel, in rotatable contact with the air seals.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for debarking logs of the type having long-fibre bark. In a first debarking operation, rotary cutterheads remove a portion of the mark so as to leave a bark/no-bark, barber-pole pattern on a log's surface. In a second, downstream debarking operation, scrapers on a rotating ring remove the remaining bark.
