VK5000 Series (Heavy Duty)

Following our well-known VK550 series, the VK5000 series is our latest debarker type. It has a number of improvements that makes using and servicing the debarker easier than ever before. Compared to its bigger counterpart, the VK8000 series, the VK5000 series debarker uses smaller diameter feedrolls, and is therefore primarily designed for mills using small and medium size logs.

With our famous heavy-duty trim, debarkers are designed for large scale production with high speed debarking by using extra strong components as standard, such as drive gears and drive shafts. Also, the feedroll pressure system is designed with the latest innovations of hydraulics and control systems used in the industry.

Our heavy-duty trim offers great flexibility to start the investment process with lower capital expenditure and boost up the debarker as needs grow. The first stage of investment can be a single rotor machine. The machine can be extended by adding a butt reducing rotor and/or a second debarking rotor when higher speeds or cleaner chips are needed. The debarker with a combination of two or three rotors is called a VK-Combi concept. The third rotor is always a butt reducer.
