Wood splitter, as its name implies, is designed for splitting wood. In the above article woodpile machine is called a machine that performs operations trimming and splitting wood. The principle of operation of typical next machine. The log is set on the input conveyor belt moves it to the side facing machine. Facing machine cut churbak, who falls into the chute.

Cylinder push churbak to splitting knife. Churbak falls on the knife and break into pieces. Available in the woodpile specific machines that use a different principle. Suppose, Palax 55, which first churbak saws off of logs, then manually installed opposite the facing of the wedge. But the performance of their much lower. There are machines using the guillotine cut a device.

However, ergonomics, performance and cause serious resource doubt. In a typical machine woodpile trimming is performed using a disk or a chainsaw. Machines that use the circular saw, have a great performance, do not need a daily podtochke saw. But their value above. In contrast to the Woodchopper (Cleaver), woodpile machines have more opportunities to install auxiliary equipment. Racks can be installed for the supply of logs. The design of machines allows the woodpile set the input conveyor. Palax machines originally equipped with them. Also very convenient to work with vygruzhnym conveyor. Classification woodpile machines. By type of blade: – Machine with a band saw – Machines with circular saw, for maximum diameter of the split wood: – up to 25 sentimentality – sentimentality and 35 – to 40 sentimentality – over 40 sentiment, by Type of drive: – Drive a tractor – from the electric motor drive – Combo (Tractor / electric motor) – Diesel; Control devices: – Mechanical – Hydraulic. Manage. Apply two basic principles of control devices: mechanical and hydraulic. Mechanical represent a system of levers lifting / lowering of saw blade, adjust the length of churbaka, dumping logs into the chute for the split, etc. In machines with hydraulic control levers are used instead of joysticks. Working with joysticks easier. But this appropriately reflected in the price. Performance. Productivity tools woodpile higher than that cleaver. And, actually, it's more predictable. The feed rate is constant at the bench. This reduces the human factor. Assistive devices. For energy efficiency possible use of assistive devices. First of all, feeding and storage racks. Also worth noting is the system for cleaning and packaging wood. For machines with diesel engines running in cold weather, reasonable fuel heaters installation.
