More Information
Summary:A bundle breaker includes first and second platens located above upstream and downstream breaking supports and first and second actuators configured to move the platens to selectively clamp logs between the platens and the breaking supports. A third actuator moves the second breaking support relative to the first breaking support to break bundles off the log. A foam sheet is attached to the bottom of each of the first and second platens and is configured to be compressed when the logs are clamped. The bottom surfaces of the foam sheets are preferably at least partially coated with an elastomeric coating or at least partially covered by an elastomeric sheet.
