Abstract
An apparatus for debarking logs has a plurality of longitudinally spaced frames each of which carries a pair of horizontally and transversely spaced upper wheels and at least one lower wheel below and between the upper wheels. At least one conveyor element is spanned over the wheels in each frame and has a pair of inner stretches defining a V in line with the inner stretches of the other frame and forming therewith a log-receiving cradle. At least one of the wheels, preferably the lower wheel is driven, and it is possible either to tip the frames so as to unload the logs or to cant them about vertical axes relative to the longitudinal direction of the logs so as to move the log along the apparatus.
