Hi All

does anyone have any photos or thoughts on how to construct a sieve to go on the end of processor elevator to reduce the amount of rubbish going into vented bag.thanks chris:confused1:

There is a picture of one on here somewhere. It was at least a year ago and I think it was off topic. Maybe showing wood piles? Hopefully someone on here will remember.

Seen some others which are rotating tubes but they're very expensive

There is a vid of the Fuelwood one on their web site. Looks very much like the one on Wilson's page.

Good idea but looks quite heavy, wonder what the effect of the extra weight will have on the conveyors. Looks like they will need to be attached on the ground then winched up into position, this puts extra strain on the lift wires and one of those letting go would probably be very nasty. Hopefully thats all been considered though.

I posted mine on the site last year somewhere, does add extra weight but the conveyor is held with chains, only problem I find is if you are splitting near the max diameter the load of logs going up the conveyor along with the extra weight of the sieve can rock the processor if its not connected to the linkage, I use a 5m conveyor though but I wouldn't run a processor now without one, had too many people complain about the dross in the bags before.

I call the dross Kindling and it comes free !!. Mind you as a result I sell very little kindling.
