Abstract
An apparatus for feeding roundwood into a rotating debarking drum through the inlet end of the barking drum utilizing a conveyor. The prior method presents the drawback that it is not possible, with a single feed device, to feed into the barking drum roundwood of different lengths but only either long, intermediate-sized or short logs. With the present invention, this problem has been solved in that the logs are positively fed by the conveyor, at low speed, into the lower part of the barking drum, through a feed cylinder.
