Mechanical foot-operated log splitter for chopping firewood. This machine requires no electricity at all, making it ideal for cottages without electricity or in places where access to electricity is a challenge. This also makes the machine very quiet and safe to use. The lightweight 10 kg splitting device is easy to move from one place to another.
The device is operated by pressing it with the foot, whereby the counterpart of the rail of the device presses the wood to be split against the splitting gap by one clamping cycle. When the foot is lifted up, the counterpart tightens itself to the next notch. This movement is repeated until the wood splits all the way through. Larger and more knotty trees may require several compressions, while smaller and knotless trees will break with a single compression.
With this lever technology, a clamping force of 12kN (1.2T) can be achieved, allowing medium and low knot clamps to be broken quickly and easily. Even branchy trees can be split easily by repeating the splitting motion several times. Thanks to the 430 mm long body, the machine can also cut very long logs. The diameter of the body ranges from 60 to 180 mm for trees of different sizes. Thanks to the adjustable counterpart position, the setting of the clamping interval is fast and the piece does not have to wait as long for the whole length of the rail compared to electric machines. The bite distance of the device can also be adjusted to a smaller or larger distance depending on the pieces to be split, so that the foot does not have to be raised so high.
This device is particularly suitable for easy and effortless firewood making in places without electricity, without noise or dust. Place the support of the counter-block in the desired position so that the wood to be split fits between it and the wedge. Then press the pedal of the device, which presses the wood against the splitting wedge and splits it. Repeat the process as many times as necessary.
