Nicholson’s Forged Knife Arms are designed to deliver extended durability, consistent debarking performance, and reduced operational costs in demanding mill environments.

Manufactured as a single piece of work-hardened, high-strength alloy steel, the forged design eliminates welds to provide increased strength and enhanced wear resistance for continuous debarking operations.

Operating at lower air pressures without compromising debarking force, the forged knife arms help improve operational bandwidth, reduce maintenance, and minimize downtime.

Benefits of Nicholson Forged Knife Arms:

• Extended wear life
• Increased strength with no welds
• Lower operating air pressures
• Reduced maintenance and operational costs

Did you know? 🌲

Among the world’s most widely used structural building materials, wood is unique because it comes from a naturally renewable resource.

When forests are responsibly managed and replanted, wood products can be produced for generations while also storing carbon throughout the life of the product. Nearly every part of a harvested tree can also be utilized, including lumber, bark, chips, sawdust, and biomass.

From construction to manufacturing, forestry continues to play an important role in building sustainable materials for the future.

A cleaning bar on a debarker is essential to ensure bark accumulation on the knife arms and hub adapters is removed in order to provide freely moving knife arms. Knife arms that cannot move properly cannot debark properly, especially in stringy bark applications.

Nicholson’s MLX™ cleaning bars use additive manufacturing, an advanced form of 3D printing, to enhance wear life and performance in demanding mill environments.

Benefits of MLX™ technology include:
• Increased wear life
• Improved impact resistance
• Reduced maintenance
• Easier recycling to support ESG initiatives
