This video is about the SATCO - AT422-DB De-Barker.
The SATCO® 422-DB Debarker was developed and built with the Eucalyptus logger in mind. SATCO® went to the Eucalyptus loggers to see what they needed and wanted from a Eucalyptus debarking head and this is what we came up with.
The SATCO® 422-DB Debarker is designed to attach to a 20-25 tonne base machine and has a capacity of 50mm (2”) diameter to 560mm (22”) diameter.
It uses a 4 roller system so the feed rollers close around the stem similar to a camera lenses shutter and maximum coverage is achieved as a result. The 4 feed roller geometry also allows the operator to drive right off the end of the butt leaving 2 rollers in contact with the stem to drive the tree forward again. This makes removing bark right down to the end of the butt easy.
