In forest tending, orchard clearing and biomass fuel processing sectors, splitting logs, stumps and thick branches has long been a time-consuming and labor-intensive task.
The hardened cone with spiral threads drills continuously into logs. It splits round timber, stumps and large branches along the grain by means of cone extrusion force. No separate power source is required. It travels together with the excavator and works efficiently in remote sites such as mountainous areas, woodlands and orchards where regular vehicles cannot access.
Available in multiple sizes to suit mini and small excavators, it can process large-diameter logs and old tree stumps. It meets the demands of firewood processing, feedstock pre-treatment for chipping, stump splitting and forest clearance. Unlike conventional log splitters, it requires no fixed installation. The excavator simply moves to the timber, eliminating repeated log handling and greatly cutting labor costs.
Equipped with quick couplers for easy mounting and removal, it allows fast switching between hydraulic breakers, grapples and log splitters on one excavator. It realizes true multi-purpose operation, boosts equipment utilization and lowers capital investment for forestry work.
This cone splitter is widely used in forest thinning, orchard old-tree removal, raw material preparation for biomass power plants, landscape renovation and recycling of waste trees. It has gained great popularity among overseas forest farms and growers.
