The present invention relates to a phase shifting debarker. The shiftingdebarker generallycomprises a phase shifting mechanism being powered by a main motor and beingconnected to an operative assembly by the mean of timing belts. The main motoris beingconfigured to control, by the mean of a belt, the movement of the phaseshiftingmechanism which is being adapted to control the movement of the operativeassembly bythe mean of the timing belts. The operative assembly generally comprises anactuator ringand a main ring. The activation of the shifting mechanism creates a shiftphase betweenthe actuator ring and the main ring while rotating at the same speed.
