Hydraulic Debarker Machine

A hydraulic debarker is a machine removing bark from wooden logs by the use of water under a pressure of 700 kilopascals (100 pounds per square inch) or greater. Hydraulic debarking can reduce soil and rock content of bark, but may increase the water content.Debarking helps speed the drying process. The bark can provide a hiding place for insects. After a log has been cut or a branch has been severed, insects have new openings that allow them to slip beneath the bark more easily. There, they can multiply and thrive, and they don't need much space.
