Abstract:
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for debarking logs are shown and described. The disclosed embodiments can be used for quickly and conveniently replacing contact surfaces, such as leading edges, of swing arm assemblies. Some disclosed embodiments include a swing arm assembly having a replaceable insert that defines a leading edge for engaging logs moving along a processing line. The insert can be made of a wear resistant material for a prolonged life. A worn insert can be replaced with another insert to ensure proper functioning of the debarker.
Abstract:
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for debarking logs are shown and described. The disclosed embodiments can be used for quickly and conveniently replacing contact surfaces, such as leading edges, of- swing arm assemblies (110). Some disclosed embodiments include a swing arm assembly having a replaceable insert (121) that defines a leading edge for engaging logs (130) moving along a processing line. The insert can be made of a wear resistant material for a prolonged life. A worn insert (121) can be replaced with another insert to ensure proper functioning of the debarker.
