Abstract
The present invention is a debarking ring apparatus to prevent operational downtime of logs debarking by having two debarking rings placed on the same vertical plan, perpendicular to the flow of incoming and outgoing logs, and parallel to each other. Only one ring may be operational at a time. As such, maintenance may be done on one of the rings while the other is in operation. Debarking rings may have varying sizes and shapes independent from each other. Each debarking ring may further have its own frame, actuator and control and motorization modules. A sliding system, supported by a frame, may further direct the lateral displacement of both rings. Also presented is a method of processing logs through the debarking ring apparatus.
