Maintaining North American Productivity With Drum De-Barker Discharge Conveyors

Economic stability isn’t earned through steel and smoke. It’s instead earned through lumber - with the Canadian forestry industry contributing $19.8 billion to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the U.S. forestry industry contributing $3 billion to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Increased productions in the solid wood, pulp and paper, and logging verticals have secured the North American market.They’ve also created a need for new de-barking technologies - with current designs unable to accommodate accelerated bulk handling and expedited processing. Conveyors simply aren’t engineered for today's production standards.
Connexus Industries addresses this issue through our drum de-barker discharge conveyors. These machines - intended for both domestic and exotic hardwoods - are tailored for constant use, with their unique designs adapting to high-impact (10-feet) drops. This allows them to endure the rigorous demands of the logging industry, providing results that are both high-volume and sustainable.
De-barking is a pivotal step within the lumber process, stripping away waste material (such as sand or resin) and preparing logs for consumers. Without a proper discharge system, however, mills will experience decreased productivity - constantly having to realign conveyor chains, replace fractured parts, and reduce impact heights. This weakens profits.
Connexus Industries can strengthen them, with our drum de-barkers ensuring superior results. Contact us today to learn more.
