Flail Debarker 2300-2 The other member of Precision ’ s in-woods flail debarker family is smaller but just as tough . The 2300-2 can process multiple logs from 3 in up to 23 in in diameter ( 76-584 mm ) and with the same exceptional efficiency as the 2600-4 .
Recently equipped with Sauer Plus 1 technology , the 2300-2 is undergoing a top-to-bottom overhaul with the latest hydraulics that allow for easy and instant control of infeed , flail drum and outfeed speeds . Improvements to the 2300-2 include the addition of a hydraulic bark pusher , which keeps the debarking chamber clean .
Rosserhead Debarkers For precise work in the mill , Rosserhead debarkers ensure clean , adjustable-length convenience and “ tough-asnails ” durability , according to the manufacturer .
“ We engineered them to exceed expectations and they do on a daily basis in cutting-edge operations around the world ,” Smith said .
Low cost , low maintenance and clean-running , Precision Rosserheads are flexible , with adjustable barking head size , hydraulic power and overall machine dimensions to suit the size and specific needs of the mill . Diesel-powered engines are available , as are motors suited for 380 / 3 / 50 operation overseas .
Innovation at work Smith says the bottom line at Precision is its clients ’ profitability . This simple yet often-overlooked principle drives all innovation spending and development at the manufacturer .
“ After all , Precision is more than our name ,” he said . “ It ’ s our number one goal .
“ With this in mind , we ’ re committed to bringing our customers the latest , most advanced equipment in the world . We never rest because today ’ s technology won ’ t allow it .”
To maintain this standard , Precision employs more than 100 experienced , highly dedicated and motivated professionals . To ensure efforts remain on track , many of these people are former loggers and wood processors with first-hand experience using the technology the company develops . “ Precision Husky is showing the industry just how outstanding one company can be ,” Smith said . “ From humble beginnings , we now work from a 165,000 ft2 manufacturing facility in Leeds , Alabama .”
Smith is a second-generation innovator like his father , company founder and CEO Bob Smith . Together they have overseen Precision ’ s growth from a small regional provider to a worldwide leader in timber processing technology , with customers in 120 countries .
