The infeed table moves up and down to lift a log. It will touch the ground.

I'm trying to compare them to the posch 25 ton unit. I think the price is comparable. I have seen some of the posch splitters over here and they aren't built like these are.

I am working on getting it CE certified. Its a 12hp engine and 22gpm pump. They have a 20 ton ram. Might leave it as is and put a guard over the splitter chamber.

Hi Guys, I am from Canada and build commercial grade wood splitters. I have had a lot of interest from the other side of the pond the last couple of months. I am currently working on getting a CE stamp for the splitters. I know most splitters overseas run on 3 phase electric or PTO power from a tractor. All of my splitters run a small petrol engine. They burn 15-20 litres of fuel a day. It isn't a big deal for me to put a PTO pump on my splitter, nor is it a major issue to put on an electric motor. I am just wondering what peoples thoughts are on a petrol powered wood splitter. here is a link to the splitter on youtube.

Hi Guys, I am going to start building a machine like the fuelwood splitta 400. Do these splitters run an electric over hydraulic control system or are they completely hydraulic? I am going on a vacation to the uk at the end of july. Does anyone have one of these (or any other kindling machine for that matter) around the dublin or edinburgh? We are planning on doing a tour and I know for sure we have a couple of nights in both cities.

Just wondering if anyone has used a posch wraptime or similar product and what their thoughts were on it.

Do you know how the sprag clutch system operates? it would definitely be a rock solid reliable way of doing it, but it seems as though there would not be any adjustment for the size of the pieces split, unless there is some sort of mechanical adjustment.

I don't disagree with you at all. But I am a young fellow and I would like to make my own product. Me and a buddy sat down today and I think we figured it out. We think we should have a mechanism activate a manual/mechanical valve when the splitter retracts, maybe run it on a spring or some sort of ramp so it stays on the same amount of time every cycle. Is this how these machines operate?

Right on; I guess its just a different way of looking at it. Anyone have any information as far as the kindling machines go?

I used to work for Bell's and most american manufacturers will build them to spec if you would like them to. Most of our would here is cut 16" in length.

anyone ever check out bell's firewood processor? Half the price of the multitek. heres a link; Firewood Processors

Hi guys, I live in Canada and build high quality commercial grade wood splitters (http://www.eastonmadewoodsplitter.com). I had a gentleman ask me the other day if I could build him a kindling machine. Something similar to a kindlet pro or a posch autosplit. This type of machine does not exist in north america, hence why I would like to build one. most of our bagged firewood is done on a horizontal machine (rapid fire and super split come to mind) or picked up from a firewood processor (very inefficient) My main question has to do with the hydraulics of these machines. To the best of my knowledge it appears as though these machines are purely mechanical and do not require any electronics (plc and switches). I understand the concept of the reciprocating valve to operate the splitter, but am unsure of what kind of valve advances the conveyor, or the sequence it would be in with relation to the pump and reciprocating valve. Does anyone know how this operates or would anyone have access to a hydraulic schematic of one of these machines? I would like to also here peoples opinions of either machine, or others on the market. I want to know what works better and what doesn't. I noticed on the kindlet pro the wedge appears to be of an "x" shape with device to push the top cut piece back down to be resplit. On the auto split it looks like it is a "v" shaped wedge and the table appears to move down slightly during the split. what is the reason for this? which design works better and for what reason? And another question that is right off topic; why does there appear to be so much metre long firewood in europe? the only reason we cut it a metre long is for an outdoor boiler. Thanks in advance for any information.
