Types of wood splitters
The wood splitter is the core equipment in the field of woodchip processing, paper making, man-made panels and biomass fuel production, which splits raw materials such as large timber, stumps, branches and so on into sizes that meet the processing requirements of the chipper by hydraulic or mechanical power.
- Horizontal wood splitter
- For the production of wood chips in the paper and board industry
- Shear wood splitter
- For the production of wood chips in the board and paper industry, for the decomposition and cutting of large timber and waste logs.
- Product performance: reasonable structure, sturdy and durable, easy to operate.

Safety operation precautions for wood splitting machines:
Before each use, check whether the machine is blocked by foreign objects to avoid the risk of jamming; During use, safety protection facilities should be installed to maintain body balance when chopping wood; If it is necessary to replace the blades of the chopping machine, the power light should be turned off first, and the machine should stop running before approaching.
The scope of use of wood splitting machines
Logs, profiles, wood, etc. Wood mills can cut down various types of trees.
Hydraulic logging machines are now widely used in forestry and mining industries, construction projects, demolition projects, chemical engineering, smelting production, and major repair projects, with a wide range of applications.
- Breaks down large wood: handles stumps, roundwood segments and shaped rough branches with a diameter of more than 300mm.
- Enhance processing efficiency: as the front-end equipment of chipper, it splits the raw material to the right size and reduces the rate of wood loss.
- Replace traditional tools: replace band saws in an efficient and safe way to solve the problem of low efficiency and high cost of manual firewood splitting.


Application areas of large wood splitters
- Paper industry: pretreatment of raw materials to enhance pulp production.
- Manufactured panel industry: processing of substrates for the production of density boards and plywood.
- Biomass fuels: splitting stumps and branches into fuel blocks.
- Market Advantages
- Increased efficiency: wood splitting efficiency is 3-5 times higher than traditional band saws.
- Cost reduction: reduce labor input, wood utilization rate increased by 10-15%.
- Safety and environmental protection: no dust pollution, the operation risk is significantly lower than the band saw.
Why use a wood splitting machine?
| At present, tree resources are distributed all over the world and have a wide range of uses. Trees also have many uses. Manufacturing furniture, exporting wood, etc. Processing these raw materials requires a powerful equipment, and as a type of mechanical equipment, a chopping machine is widely used in the wood processing and wood processing industry. It can effectively split logs into wooden blocks or chips, providing convenience and efficiency. |
Working principle of wood splitting machine
A chopping machine is a mechanical device that can cut wood into the desired size.
Its working principle is to quickly cut logs into wooden blocks or chips using high-speed rotating cutting blades. A chopping machine is usually powered by an electric motor, and the cutting blades are connected to the motor through a chain or belt.
During the cutting process, the logs are placed on the workbench of the chopping machine, and the transmission device drives the blades to rotate at high speed to cut the logs. Due to its fast cutting speed and high accuracy, the chopping machine has been widely used in the field of wood processing.

Common problems and answers of wood splitting machines
Cause analysis
- Low oil temperature: The hydraulic system needs to maintain a certain operating temperature. A low oil temperature can increase the viscosity of the oil, thereby affecting the transmission of hydraulic power. Therefore, if the hydraulic horizontal splitting machine does not have pressure, it is necessary to check if the oil temperature is too low.
- Hydraulic system oil leakage: If there is oil leakage in the hydraulic system, it will cause the hydraulic transmission system to lose working pressure. Common causes of oil leakage include aging seals, loose joints, etc. If the hydraulic system leaks oil, it is necessary to check and replace the seals in a timely manner, or tighten the joint bolts.
Solution - Check oil temperature: If there is no pressure in the hydraulic system, the first step is to check if the oil temperature is too low. If so, it should be heated up in a timely manner. The oil temperature can be increased through methods such as electric heaters and fuel heaters, while also paying attention to controlling the oil temperature not to be too high to avoid damage to the machine.
- Check the hydraulic system for oil leakage: If the hydraulic system is found to be leaking after inspection, it is necessary to find the oil leakage point and repair it in a timely manner. Usually, repairs are carried out by replacing sealing rings, eccentric compensation pads for joints, tightening bolts, and other methods.
- Replace oil pump: If the inspection shows that the oil pump is ineffective, a new oil pump needs to be replaced, and a matching oil pump should be selected to ensure stable working pressure.
