5 USE OF THE FIREWOOD PROCESSOR, SPLITTING
OPERATION
5.1 Splitting cylinder
 The machine can be equipped with a splitting cylinder of either 3,5 tons or 5,6 tons.
5.2 An automatic high-speed
valve is available as an
option
 An automatic high-speed valve, with
splitting motion normally at high-
speed, is available as an option.
 The speed decreases only for a short
while as the required splitting force
increases when thick logs are being
processed. As the log starts to split,
the force requirement immediately
drops and the splitting motion
resumes the high-speed operation.
 The automatic high-speed valve
speeds up processing of the firewood
considerably and at the same time
reduces the load on the transmission.
 The automatic valve is also available
for retro-fitting.
