Description

Debarker model VK26MX

Valon Kone’s debarker model VK26MX is a well known rotor debarker for debarking medium-sized logs. Nearly 300 pcs of corresponding machines have been delivered throughout the world since the beginning of the 1980s. The long-lasting popularity of this machine model lies behind its reliability and ease of use, which guarantees the customer constantly high quality debarking results with minimum maintenance costs.

Two different versions of the VK26MX debarker model are available: VK26MX and VK26MXSL. If the logs are sufficiently long, the VK26MX debarker model is built primarily with six feedrolls. A SL (short log) version with eight feedrolls can also be built for debarking short and/or poor quality logs.

In the VK26MX model, the hydraulic system of the feedrolls is a closed hydraulic circuit, which works with internal oil flow and the pressure changes in the accumulator. The pressure of each feedroll pair can be adjusted separately using the hand pump included in the machine delivery. This can only be done when the machine is stopped. The debarkers, whose feedrolls are equipped with a closed hydraulic circuit, have the required debarking pressure level set as constant.

Debarking rotor

The VK26MX model includes a fixed debarking rotor in the machine frame with a 62 cm diameter. The hydraulically pressed debarking tools (6 pcs) are installed on the outfeed side of the rotor. The tools are manufactured of flexible spring steel, and they do not have separate replaceable tool tips. The design of the tool arms makes them easier to open and minimises wood damage. The special design and the correct materials and production methods ensure the durability of the VK tool arms in any conditions.

Centring infeed conveyor

All VK26MX machines are supplied with a centring VK infeed conveyor, model VK450. The infeed conveyor flap features a pre-opening function, which is required when feeding small or light logs in. All VK26MX debarkers feature FibreMax feed rolls with replaceable inserts.
