Every BTD firewood processor is equipped with an automatic chain lubrication system. During sawing, the system supplies chain oil automatically to the saw chain and guide bar. This helps reduce friction, limit wear and support consistent cutting performance.
The chain is lubricated by an integrated oiling system during the sawing movement. The BTD system uses:
This means the operator does not have to lubricate the chain manually during normal operation.
A continuous supply of the correct chain oil reduces friction between the chain and guide bar. This helps limit heat build-up and unnecessary wear.
A correctly lubricated chain moves more smoothly around the guide bar and encounters less friction during sawing. Together with correct chain tension and a sharp chain, this supports stable cutting performance.
Because oil is supplied automatically, the operator does not have to interrupt normal operation to lubricate the chain manually.
The oil reservoir is easily accessible and the oil level can be checked regularly. The automatic system reduces manual lubrication work, although the chain, guide bar and oil supply should still be inspected as part of normal maintenance.
BTD recommends standard saw chain oil with a viscosity of approximately 100 or 150 cSt.
During continuous operation, the reservoir is typically refilled approximately once every three hours, with around 0.75 litre of chain oil. Actual consumption can vary with use and operating conditions.
The lubrication system is integrated into the sawing process and automatically supplies oil during the downward saw movement. It is designed to provide the chain and guide bar with lubrication whenever the saw is operating.
No. Automatic lubrication reduces the amount of manual lubrication required, but regular inspection remains important. Check the chain tension, sharpness, guide-bar condition and oil supply according to the maintenance instructions.
Automatic chain lubrication helps reduce friction and wear and supports consistent sawing performance. Because oil is supplied automatically during the sawing movement, daily operation is simpler while the chain and guide bar remain properly lubricated.
