Wood debarking machine, also known as a log peeling machine, is an essential tool for the wood processing industry. We provide two types of peeling machines: a vertical small wood debarker and a horizontal large log peeling machine, suitable for both small sawmills and medium to large wood processing plants.

Our wood debarking machine is suitable for both softwood and hardwood. It can handle logs with diameters from 50–500 mm, achieving a peeling rate of over 95%.

These two wood debarking machines can easily process softwoods like pine, fir, cypress, and spruce with high efficiency. They can also handle hard-to-peel hardwoods such as oak, birch, walnut, and eucalyptus. Whether the logs are bent, straight, or have dents, the bark can be removed effectively.

Thanks to their strong adaptability, our wood debarkers are widely used in lumber processing plants worldwide, including the USA, Australia, European countries such as Switzerland, France, and Spain, as well as South Africa, Brazil, and Asia-Pacific countries like Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Pakistan.

Vertical small wood debarking machine for sale

• Suitable for log diameters of 50–500 mm, and over 500 mm
• Output up to 10 meters per minute
• A power system can be equipped with a diesel engine or an electric motor
• Optional mobile wheels and conveyor
• Equipped with 4–6 blades, 4–6 feeding rollers, spring-loaded rollers, etc. (configurable based on production needs)
• Designed for processing single logs, suitable for small batches and thicker wood.

Features

• Uses high-carbon 45# steel fan-shaped blades with high hardness and strong wear resistance, suitable for peeling both softwood and hardwood, with long service life.
• High output, up to 10 meters per minute.
• Wide applicability, efficiently peels straight, bent, or irregular logs of both softwood and hardwood.
• Versatile power system, suitable for different working environments, including areas with limited electricity.
• Compact vertical design, ideal for small to medium sawmills.
• Optional mobile wheels and conveyor for easier operation and material handling.
• Customizable voltage and plug options.
• High peeling rate, over 95%.
• Easy to operate with low noise.

Structure

The vertical wood debarker consists of a feed inlet, feeding rollers, rotating blades, a spring-loaded feeding mechanism, a power system, and a discharge outlet.

Working principle

The operator places the log into the feed inlet, and the feeding rollers push it into the rotating blade area. The blades cut and peel off the bark, while the spring-loaded rollers ensure the log maintains even contact with the blades. The removed bark is discharged through the outlet, and the log is fully debarked.

Technical parameters

The above are just our standard models; we can customize the machine according to your specific requirements.

Large groove-type log peeling machine for sale

• Can peel logs of different diameters in batches simultaneously
• Suitable for trees with diameters of 50–300 mm
• Can handle branches and irregular wood
• Powered by an electric motor
• Optional accessories: conveyor belt, wood chipper, wood crusher, etc.
• Equipped with mobile wheels for easy movement

Features

• The double-roller wood debarker features an open feed trough for continuous in-and-out operation, providing high efficiency.
• It performs well on hard-to-peel species like eucalyptus and poplar, achieving a peeling rate of over 95%.
• The machine is highly adaptable, capable of peeling logs of different species, diameters (50–300 mm), lengths, and shapes.
• Bent logs are peeled effectively as they rotate and move irregularly, allowing the teeth to reach concave areas.
• With a simple structure, low energy consumption, and minimal maintenance, it can process logs 2–6 meters long in batches. The feed trough size, roller tooth density, and size can be customized.
• The machine body, feed trough, and roller teeth are usually made of 45# high-strength carbon steel, ensuring a sturdy structure and strong wear resistance.

Structure

The groove-type wood debarker consists of the machine body, open feed trough, roller teeth, drive system, and discharge outlet.

Working principle

The operation of a trough-type wood debarking machine involves the use of a rotating peeling roller within the trough. As the wood section is fed into the machine, it undergoes cyclic movement within the trough.

Simultaneously, the wood section rotates around its own axis and experiences irregular beating. This combination of movements results in continuous friction and collision between the wood section and the roller, as well as between different sections of wood.

These interactions cause the bark to separate rapidly from the wood, achieving the desired peeling effect. By leveraging the mechanical action of friction and collision, the machine efficiently removes bark from the wood, leaving behind smooth and debarked timber ready for further processing.

Application

Wood debarking machines are commonly employed in sawmills, plywood plants, and other wood processing facilities to prepare the raw materials for various woodworking applications, such as veneer production, lumber processing, and biomass utilization.

By simplifying the debarking process, this machine improves the overall efficiency and quality of wood processing operations.

Applicable wood species for wood debarker

Both machines can be used to debark softwoods, hardwoods, and some hard-to-peel species. Here are some examples for your reference.

Common softwoods (often used in construction, paper, and furniture frames)

• Pine: Widely distributed, fast-growing, soft, and easy to process.
• Fir / Spruce: Commonly used in construction and plywood.
• Cypress: Highly durable and rot-resistant, often used outdoors or in temples.
• Douglas Fir: Frequently used in construction and engineering.

Common sardwoods (often used in furniture, flooring, and crafts)

• Oak: Hard and durable, used in high-end furniture and flooring.
• Birch: Fine texture, used for plywood and furniture.
• Elm: Attractive grain, strong bending resistance.
• Maple: High hardness, used in flooring and musical instruments.
• Walnut: Dark color, commonly used in furniture and crafts.
• Teak: Highly resistant to corrosion, used outdoors and in shipbuilding.
• Eucalyptus: Widely distributed, used for paper, wood chips, and furniture.

Hard-to-debark tree species

• Oak: Bark is hard.
• Walnut: Bark is dense and tightly attached.
• Beech: Fibers are fine and dense.
• Eucalyptus: Bark has fibrous layers.
• Pine: Contains resin.
• Teak: High oil content, bark is tough.
• Rosewood, Mahogany, etc.: Wood is dense, and bark adheres strongly.

Shipping cases

In February 2025, three Vertical Wood Debarkers were shipped to the USA. The client, a prominent figure in the timber processing industry, was seeking a powerful solution to enhance their debarking operations.

After installation, the client reported a significant improvement in their peeling process with the SL-300 Wood Debarker. The machine delivers high efficiency and strong adaptability, processing up to 30 cubic meters of logs per hour with a peeling rate exceeding 95%, while reducing energy consumption by up to 20%.

This not only boosts productivity but also improves the quality of the final wood products.
