Technical Examples

A heavy flywheel disc having a radially spaced apart array of pockets in which are mounted knives. Short logs, which have been de-barked, are fed in with their long axis parallel to the face of the flywheel. A hydraulic ram translates the logs sideways into the plane containing the rotating knives. The use of the hydraulic ram provides for a variable infeed speed to obtain the particular thickness of shavings which provides in the end commercially desirable shavings for use, for example, in horse stables. The knives have notched cutting edges. The notches limit the width of each shaving to create strands which are for example Â¾ inches wide. The strands are then chopped in an automated chopping device such as a forage harvester to produce shavings.
