Log debarker

A log debarker comprising:

• transport means for transporting a log in longitudinal direction thereof along a predetermined track, at least one water nozzle positioned along said track for directing a water jet towards the log being transported along said track, a water supply channel, a pitot tube having an opening, said at least one nozzle being connected by said water supply channel to said pitot tube, said tube being situated in an annular water housing having a U-shaped radial cross-section, the open side of said cross-section being directed towards the center of the annular water housing, holding means for the pitot tube extending through said open side, supply means for water to the interior of said annular housing, first carrying means for rotating said nozzle in an orbit around said track in a first direction, second carrying means for the annular water housing for rotating the same concentrically to the orbit of rotation of the nozzle in a second direction opposite to said first direction, whereby upon rotation of said nozzle and said annular water housing by means of said first and second carrying means the pitot tube will rotate into the ring of water supplied to the interior of the annular water housing, to thereby force water into the opening of the pitot tube, through said channel, and out through said at least one nozzle in a jet directed at the log on the track in said orbit of rotation.
