DEMUTH Log Splitter was idealized to make good use of big dimension logs that present handling difficulties, in order to be processed for final use.

The equipment is basically manufactured in two models (with mobile or stationary centralizing table), totally dispensing the use of wedges, hammers or ribbon saw.

The simple conception constructive characteristics result in easy operation.

A hydraulic system with two stages allows higher piston speed at the piston advancing return, with consequently power increase for the cutting operation.

Projected and manufactured as an accessory equipment for wood chippers, makes possible the use of any smaller capacity chippers, generating the total use of available raw material.



Equipment Manufactured to different wood and size types, basically in two versions:

a) DRT - with splitting wedge in two parts

b) DRTC - with splitting wedge in multipart

The DRT model has a vertical wedge, whose logs are forced against, splitting the logs in two parts. Optionally, the wedge can have a horizontal and a vertical blade to split the logs in four parts. In this case, the log centralization at the wedge center shall be manually done.

The DRTC model has an interchangeable wedge with 2, 3 or 4 blades to split the logs respectively in 4, 6 or 9 parts.

The log centering on the wedge center part is done through a projected table with a hydraulic elevation.



The split log discharge is done at the wedge side on all models and can be done on the ground or directly over a chipper in-feed belt.

Optionally, for extremely hard and with interlaced fiber logs, the equipment can be equipped with and intensifying pushing power system that considerably increases the cutting power during a small time period, enough to split these log type.

Hydraulic commands are locally or distantly located
