debarker Explanation: Given that this is the first step in the process, prior to "trancheuse", it presumably refers to the transformation of a raw tree trunk into a log (poutre). This requires removal of the bark, and (especially if the veneer is to be taken with a peeler) the clean log must be turned (on a large lathe, basically) so it is properly straight and cylindrical. http://blog.mechguru.com/how-products-are-made/learn-the-ten... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2017-02-20 00:05:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- With the benefit of the video context: http://player.vimeo.com/video/78774545?title=0&byline=0&port... provided by Asker here: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_english/construction_civ... it’s clear that "poutreuse" is not a "debarking machine", because at 00:30 of the video we can see the banana trunks being debarked by hand, with a machete. There's a step in the process – not shown in the video – between the irregularly-shaped (approximately round) "debarked" trunks on the truck at 00:46 and the "poutres" (+/- rectangular cross-section) seen at 01:04. There is presumably a machine that does this transformation. That will be the "poutreuse". No idea what that would be called in English! |

The former would move and stack the logs, while the latter would cut the stems into smaller logs, which seems not to be part of the process. www.oregonloggers.org/Forest_Logging_Machines.aspxLogging machine image.
