ABSTRACT:
A tree delimbing apparatus comprises a housing through which trees are conveyed and delimbed; the housing has an open bottom through which branches and leaves are discharged. A series of rollers are mounted inside the housing for conveying and delimbing the trees; the delimbing rollers are drums to which are attached a plurality of flexible flails extendible under centrifugal force, the flails detaching leaves and branches from the trees as they are conveyed through the housing. The particular construction of the housing enables the recuperation of all limb debris for other uses such as energy source, prevents pollution from spreading of such debris, and insures safety of all personnel in the vicinity of the machine.
