Blaney have developed the Splitfire range as a result of requests for a commercial grade, high capacity machine that could split logs up to 1m in length.
What are the advantages of long length splitting?
- Longer logs can be chopped allowing for faster processing and easier stacking during the drying stage.
- Logs can be split when they are still green, giving the opportunity for quicker drying.
- Leaving logs 700-1100mm long reduces the number of green timber cuts. These long dried lengths can then be cut to size quickly on a table saw. The wedge is a special 3 stage design to achieve a split on green/recently felled timber.
