1. Introduction
1.1 Foreword
Congratulations on choosing a Wallenstein WP1624 Wood
Processor!
This high-quality machine is designed and manufactured to
meet the needs of a proficient timber or woodlot industry.
The Wallenstein WP1624 Wood Processor improves firewood
productivity, ergonomics and minimizes handling. The firewood
processor saves time and money while reducing the risk of
physical strain.
The WP1624 consists of a hydraulic power source, live deck,
infeed conveyor, and wood splitter. A KOHLER® gas engine
drives hydraulic pumps to power the system. P3 Electronic
controller maximizes saw cutting performance. The optional
Log Lifter can be mounted directly to the live deck. Integrated
stacking conveyors are available in 8 ft (2.4 m) and 12 ft
(3.6 m) lengths. Trailer-type conveyors are available in 16 ft
(4.8 m) and 24 ft (7.3 m) lengths.
Logs are set onto the live deck and deck chains carry them to
the infeed conveyor. The conveyor moves the logs ahead into
the saw. The saw cuts the blocks to length and they fall into the
splitting cradle. The wedge then splits the logs and the pieces
are pushed out onto a pile or conveyor (if equipped).
The WP1624 is able to split wood up to 24" (61 cm) in length.
See Specifications on page 66 for more product information.
