APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING AND DEBARKING WOOD CHIPS Filed May 13, 1955 INVENTOR WILLIAM O. FORMAN ATTORNEY United States Patent O APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING AND DEBARKING WOOD CHIPS William 0. Fol-man, Fitchburg, Mass.
Application May 13, 1955, Serial No. 508,228
8 Claims. (Cl. 14441) In lumber operations generally there is always a large amount of waste, it being estimated that about 40% of all trees cut as timber is waste material insofar as the lumber, paper pulp, and other forest products resulting are concerned. This is one of the factors that leads to depletion of forest reserves and consequent need, well recognized in the art, of reforestation, tree farming, etc.
For instance, the slabs and edgings produced in a saw mill are ordinarily completely wasted, and it is usually necessary to convey the same to some point where they may be destroyed by burning without any benefit derived therefrom. This is particularly true in warmer climates Where heat is not needed for any purpose, and in many northern mills it is not economical to obtain heat from waste. Saw mills are ordinarily run by electricity generated at a remote point or by gasoline power in the case of small portable mills, although steam power is of course still used in some instances.
In the production of paper pulp, trees are cut down and are topped at approximately five inches in diameter and these tops are completely wasted, as it is not economical to handle the same under prior art practices for the production of paper pulp. This type of waste forms fire hazards if not reduced to chips, or otherwise disposed of. In addition, in making most kinds of paper, it is necessary to remove the bark from the logs before they are converted into chips for making the pulp, and this I requires the use of expensive machinery and extensive handling of the legs, so that a great deal of labor is involved in the physical action of handling the logs and removing the bark prior to passing the logs through the machines for comminuting the same. Also it is usually a requirement in making pulp for most kinds of papers that the'wood chips going to make up the pulp be of uniform fiber length and correct desired size, having reference to the kind of wood and the type of paper to be made.
In general, it is the basic object of the present invention to provide bark-free wood chips of accurate size and fiber length, particularly for making paper pulp,
wherein not only the usual pulp logs may be quickly,-
easily and accurately processed without prior de-barking, but also wherein all kinds of mill waste may be utilized and the tops of the trees formerly wasted may be utilized at least down to approximately an inch tip; also at the same time the invention provides improved chips, i. e., completely de-barked and of correct size, with much less labor and expensive machinery being required to carry out the process.
Further objects of the invention include the provision of a pulp chipping machine and a method for producing debarked chips for the pulp industry including a cutter head, a cutting knife thereon, and a chip breaker associated with said knife and having such a construction and such a position relative to the cutting edge of the knife blade that all bark is completely separated from the chips being produced simply by reason of the action of "ice the chip breaker which not only breaks the cut Wooden piece into chips of substantially exact size as desired, but also due to the same action separates the bark therefrom; this action being achieved through abruptly changing the direction of the slice of wood being cut and at the same time supplying a blow thereto, the blow being delivered by the chip breaker itself, which engages the slice of wood being cut immediately after the cut, and pushing the slice away from the main workpiece quickly and abruptly, breaks the same into the required chips and knocks the bark therefrom at the same time. This invention provides that all kinds of wood, mill waste, etc. are quickly processed at high speed and the chips and the separated bark are discharged from the machine into any kind of container desired, whereafter automatic means may be provided for dividing the bark pieces from the debarked chips, as for instance by centrifugal action, airblast devices, etc., so that one man only may produce pulp chips in condition ready for the pulp mill to a degree formerly requiring the labor of at least nine men, who are necessary to operate the de-barking mill of the prior art as well as the machine for comminuting the de-barked logs, etc., with the additional benefit that pulp chips may be made from materials heretofore wasted and thus acting in a very considerable degree to aid in preservation of existing forest reserves.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will'appear hereinafter.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a sectional view through a cutter head illustrating the construction and operation of the present invention; I a a Fig. 2 is a similar view showing a modified type of cutter head;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a combined cutting blade and chip breaker;
Fig. 4 isa plan view of the chip breaker;
Fig. 5 is a view from the opposite side thereof;
Fig. 6 is an edge view thereof; a
Fig. 7 is an enlarged section on line 77 of Fig. 6; and
Fig. 8 is a view in front elevation of a disc-type of cutter to which the present invention may be applied.
Referring now to Fig. 1, there is shown herein a cutter head generally indicated by the reference character 10. As illustrated, this cutter head is cylindrical in nature and rotates in the direction of the arcuate arrow, i. e. in a counter-clockwise direction. This cutter head may be constructed more or less in accordance with the disclosure of Patent No. 2,634,062 dated April 7, 1953, and is provided with a series of gullets 12 which extend longitudinally of the cutter head and open out at the periphery thereof forming arms 14 each having an inner face 16 against which the fiat longitudinal cutting blade generally indicated at 18 is applied. Each gullet is wedge-shaped and wedges 29 may be secured therein by any desired means such as the bolts 22, to hold and position and the cutter blade.- e I Wedges 2% have bolted thereto at corresponding sides thereof in adjusted relation, a chip breaker which is generally indicated at 24 and is more particularly illustrated in Figs. 3 to '7 inclusive. When. it is desired to grind the cutters 18, the wedges are loosened with the chip breakers 24, and when the cutters are replaced, the original setting of the chip breaker with relation thereto is thus easily obtained, and it has been found that although the cutters 18 are dulled with use and have to be Referring now more particularly to Figs. 3 to 7 in-:':
