Description
Wood knot cleaning machines are designed for the preparation and surface uniformity of small logs or large-diameter roundwood — up to 350 mm — efficiently removing bark residues, knots, small branches and other surface irregularities that could compromise the final quality of the wood or interfere with subsequent processing stages. Developed to ensure continuous, efficient operation with low maintenance requirements, these machines deliver reliable performance even in demanding industrial environments such as sawmills.
Available in multiple configurations, these solutions offer high flexibility and can be adapted to different wood types, diameter ranges and production volumes. Their customisable nature allows seamless integration into a variety of production flows, contributing to overall line performance optimisation.
Their robust construction, combined with the option of integration into automatic feeding systems or debarking and sorting lines, makes these machines essential elements in the rationalisation and continuity of wood processing operations.
Manufactured by Irmach and marketed under the Bartly brand, wood knot cleaning machines stand out as reliable, versatile and adaptable solutions — ideal for operations that prioritise surface preparation quality, process efficiency and consistent industrial results.
