Abstract
A barking method, and an apparatus for utilization of the method, wherein a log (6) during a substantially linear feeding movement is brought to pass one or a number of barking devices (1; 4,4'), arranged to perform a surrounding rotary movement in relation to the log (6), the barking devices (1; 4, 4') are pressed into a contact position against the log by centrifugal force during the surrounding rotary movement in relation to the log, and the contact pressure of the barking devices (1; 4, 4') is continuously variable by increasing/decreasing the rotary speed of the barking devices (1; 4, 4') and the cutters are arranged inclined at an angle in relation to the feed direction of the log (6), to produce a feeding movement for the log (6) in a direction through the barking device (1; 4, 4').
