Recently, as a trusted supplier of écorceuses de bois, we successfully delivered a horizontal wood debarker to a client in Zambia.
Customer background
The customer is an entrepreneur venturing into the timber processing industry in Zambia. Their goal was to establish a state-of-the-art facility capable of delivering high-quality processed logs to the construction and furniture markets.
For this, they required a écorceuse de bois that could ensure efficient and clean processing while keeping operational costs low.

Horizontal wood debarker for sale
After assessing the customer’s needs, we recommended a horizontal wood debarker, also known as a groove wood peeler machine. This model offered a perfect balance of efficiency, capacity, and advanced features.
Features of the wood debarker
- U-shaped groove design. The debarker features a U-shaped trough equipped with spiral cutters, ideal for peeling logs up to 500 mm in diameter.
- Dual spiral cutters. Machines with dual spiral cutters were selected to increase processing capacity and speed.
- Square hole system. The U-shaped groove includes square holes that allow bark and debris to fall through during the debarking process.
- Optional conveyor belt. To automate debris handling, we recommended adding a conveyor belt system, ensuring minimal manual labor for waste management.
Challenges and solutions
