    Abstract: A device for processing logs, comprises a deicing apparatus (11), a debarking apparatus (22), arranged downstream of the deicing apparatus, a thermal camera (30), arranged to acquire a thermal image of at least one log downstream of the debarking apparatus, and a processing device (40). The processing device (40) is configured to receive the thermal image from the thermal camera, to process the thermal image to determine a log surface temperature, and to provide a deicing control signal to the deicing apparatus (11) based on the log surface temperature. A method of processing logs is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A debarking machine is provided with a plurality of rotors disposed in parallel, and a gap between the rotors is blocked by a comb-tooth shape partition plate. The debarking machine is further provided with a log accommodating body, rotors rotatively mounted inside the log accommodating body and provided with debarking plates, a comb-tooth shape partition plate base disposed at a space between the rotors, a comb-tooth shape partition plate detachably mounted on the comb-tooth shape partition plate base, and a fixer for fastening the comb-tooth shape partition plate to the comb-tooth shape partition plate base. The comb-tooth shape partition plate is composed of partition plate elements divided along the axial directions the rotors, and each partition plate element is detachable separately. Thus the comb-tooth shape partition plates can be rebuilt and replaced easily.
