ABSTRACT:
To feed logs singly to a debarker, for example, an apparatus for separating logs from a bundle includes an input conveyor to receive a bundle of logs and to convey them to a revolving drum. The drum has a plurality of fixed, rigid flights projecting outwardly from the periphery of the drum. As the drum revolves, the flights catch a single log and convey it to a conveyor for receiving each log as it leaves the drum. Thereafter, the single log or a single layer of logs is conveyed to a stop and loader which loads logs individually to the debarker conveyor in this example. This apparatus obviates the need to untangle logs by hand when they either clog a stop and loader, a debarker, or other log processing equipment. Nearly 100% efficiency is obtained with the apparatus of this invention, thereby greatly automating log processing.
