morning all...just had a customer ask about supplying a log peeler. Would need to be able to process up to 300mm-12" diameter..prob max out at 2.4m, 8ft.

It would be converting radiata pine into fence posts before CCA

Anyone out there using one?..own one.?

What quantity?.  Do you want dowel rod straight or just get the bark off?
I am in the pink when sawing cedar.

We use a very old version from THIS COMPANY, but do not know if they have an export facility to Os.

Other peelers that are used here are Rabaud, Jocar and Posch. The Posch is possibly too small for your needs and I know even less about the Jocar and Rabaud peelers.

I have a Neuhauser. It does a good job  but I would say   only for  small scale production.

A lot depends on how much you want to do.  Morbark makes a portable peeler that reportedly can do 2000 8' poles in an 8 hr. shift.  Here's what it look like:

They even have an Australian dealer.
Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Iffen I remember right this is a loaner Morbark peeler owned by some government agency.  They were trying to get farmers interested in utilizing ERC.  Seemed to do a good job.
