Wood barking machine is a kind of mechanical equipment used to remove the surface cortex of wood, which plays an important role in wood processing industry. With the continuous improvement of people’s requirements for wood processing efficiency and quality, the development history of wood barking machine has become increasingly colorful. This article will introduce the development history of wood barking machine to you.

The early wood barking machine was mainly done by manual operation. Before human society entered the era of industrialization, wood processing mainly relied on manpower, including barking. People use sharp tools, such as axes and scrapers, to manually remove the cortex from the wood surface. This method is inefficient and labor intensive, and it is also easy to cause wood loss and quality degradation.

At the end of 19th century, with the rise of industrialization, mechanized wood processing equipment began to appear. The earliest mechanized barker was driven by steam power, and the cortex on the wood surface was removed by rotating the cutter. This mechanized barker greatly improves the production efficiency and reduces the labor intensity, but there are still some problems, such as fast tool wear and complicated operation.

At the beginning of the 20th century, with the development of power technology, electric barkers began to appear. The electric barker uses a motor to drive the cutter to rotate to remove the cortex from the wood surface. Compared with the steam-driven barker, the electric barker is more convenient, flexible and easy to operate. However, due to the fast cutter speed of electric barker, it is easy to cause wood damage and quality degradation.

With the continuous progress of science and technology, automatic and intelligent wood barking machine began to appear. Automatic wood barking machine adopts advanced sensors and control system, which can realize automatic detection and barking of wood surface. Intelligent wood barking machine realizes autonomous learning and optimal control through artificial intelligence technology, and can carry out intelligent barking operation according to the characteristics of different wood. These new wood barking machine greatly improve the production efficiency and product quality, and reduce the labor cost and waste of resources.

At present, with the coming of Industry 4.0 era, wood barking machine is developing towards more intelligence, automation and high efficiency. The new wood barking machine will pay more attention to environmental protection performance, energy saving and emission reduction, and reduce the impact on the environment while ensuring product quality. At the same time, with the wide application of artificial intelligence, big data and cloud computing technologies, wood barking machine will realize a more accurate, efficient and sustainable production mode.

In a word, wood barking machine, as one of the important equipment in the wood processing industry, has provided us with more efficient and better products with continuous development and progress. With the continuous innovation of science and technology, I believe that wood barking machine will show a broader prospect in its future development.
