Abstract
A veneer peeling machine has a frame in which three rollers are mounted for rotation thereby to rotate a log between them. Two of the rollers are movable towards the third roller as the diameter of the log is reduced by peeling. A knife is movable to engage the log and peel a veneer from it, and the third roller, or preferably a fourth roller mounted close to the third roller in a fluid bearing extending along the length of the fourth roller, engages the log closely ahead of the knife edge to function as a nose bar.
Claims10
A veneer peeling machine comprising a frame, three rollers, means mounting said rollers in said frame for rotation on mutually parallel axes, first and second of the rollers being so mounted and so movable relative to each other and to the third roller as to grip and rotate a log disposed between the three rollers, a knife and means supporting the knife relative to a said log to peel a veneer therefrom as the log is rotated by the rollers.
A veneer peeling machine comprising a frame, three rollers, means mounting the rollers for rotation in the frame with their axes disposed parallel to one another and spaced apart to receive a log therebetween, means for rotating first and second of the rollers in the same rotational direction thereby to rotate a log between the rollers, means for urging the first and second rollers toward the third roller to press the log against the third roller, a knife and means for moving the knife to engage and peel a veneer from a said log.
A veneer peeling machine comprising a frame, three rollers, means mounting the rollers for rotation in the frame with their axes disposed parallel to one another, said means enabling the rollers to move relative to each other so as to grip and rotate a log disposed between the three rollers, means for urging first and second of the rollers toward the third roller to press the log against the third roller, a nose bar and a knife having a cutting edge and means mounting said nose bar and knife for movement into a position adjacent the third roller to enable the knife to engage and peel a veneer from a said log.
