Valon Kone’s debarker model VK26SMX is a well known rotor debarker for debarking medium-sized logs. Nearly 100 pcs of corresponding machines have been delivered throughout the world since the end of the 1980s. The long-lasting popularity of this machine model lies behind its reliability and ease of use, which guarantees the customer constantly high quality debarking results with minimum maintenance costs.
Two different versions of the VK26SMX debarker model are available: VK26SMX and VK26SMXSL. If the logs are sufficiently long, the VK26MX debarker model is built primarily with six feedrolls. A SL (short log) version with eight feedrolls can also be built for debarking short and/or poor quality logs.
In the VK26SMX model, the hydraulic system of the feedrolls is a closed hydraulic circuit, which works with internal oil flow and the pressure changes in the accumulator. The pressure of each feedroll pair can be adjusted separately using the hand pump included in the machine delivery. This can only be done when the machine is stopped. The debarkers, whose feedrolls are equipped with a closed hydraulic circuit, have the required debarking pressure level set as constant.
