How To Debark Live Edge Wood: Log Debarker For Efficient Processing
Removing the bark from wood has become an essential step in woodworking, furniture making, and panel processing. In recent years, the focus has shifted from traditional manual peeling to mechanized peeling. The efficient, labor-saving log debarker is becoming the best choice.
Why does debarking live edge wood matter?
- Bark absorbs moisture and attracts insects. Removing the bark can prevent rot and extend the lifespan of the wood.
- Removing bark from wood can make it dry faster, which can reduce the likelihood of cracking and warping during subsequent air-drying processes.
- The smooth edges of peeled wood reveal its natural grain, making it easier to produce high-value furniture or works of art.
Why Shuliy’s wood debarker machine is ideal for live edge wood?
Shuliy log debarker can process both hardwoods and softwoods (including walnut, cedar, oak, acacia, maple, and pine). It can quickly remove bark while protecting the wood’s structure, which is suitable for logs of various diameters and irregular shapes.
Our wood peeling machine is equipped with adjustable pressure rollers to accommodate logs of different diameters and irregular shapes. It can process at least 10 meters of timber per minute, making it ideal for small to medium-sized sawmills.
How to debark live-edge wood using Shuliy debarker？
Step 1: Select the right log diameter. Place the wood into the machine within its recommended size range. If you are unsure about machine selection, please consult our professionals, who will recommend the appropriate machine based on your raw material dimensions.
Step 2: Adjust the feed speed and pressure. Shuliy’s feed control system allows operators to set the intensity based on wood type and bark thickness to achieve different peeling results.
Step 3: Wood starts automatic rotation. The machine automatically feeds and processes the wood evenly to remove bark from all sides.
The final product has smooth, flat edges and can be directly dried, sawed, or epoxy-treated. Furthermore, debarked wood dries 30% faster than wood with bark.
Conclusion
While traditional hand tools offer unique advantages, professional woodworkers tend to prefer mechanized debarking as the most efficient, reliable, and economical method.
If you have any wood-related questions, Shuliy offers reliable solutions to help you improve productivity, reduce labor costs, and preserve the natural beauty of your wood.
