Sawmill MD - Debarker Head

[187Zannii]

We run the Nicholson A8 Highspeed Debarker, and been running it since I ca remember, I been at Chaleur Sawmills for 7 years, ours is a bit faster then what is shown here though, Iam not kidding, we can run about 50-60 logs per minute.. We have 2, we also have the nicholson A5. They can handle logs up to I think 24". You can find Nicholson A8

on Youtube

kickers take too long just roll out the debarked log with the next with the stop and loads much faster. although the the headsaws look full by the logs chillin in the log trouth. 7:55 haha grab a cant hook!

An almost new V216 and you all ready took the belt guards off!? How do you expect to push logs around now? Hah-hah! I work for HMC...

I run a morbark 642 of this style now, I used to run a morbark 640 stationary head now, and i like the stationary one better, it handles the twisted up ones so much better.

We have fitted the staionary heads with this style with great results.

Take Care,

I put a short video of me with a red oak log, you should check it out. I'll have to get a buddy to record while I dump and go for a few logs.
