Construction & saw unit – BTD Automatic (attachment) firewood processors

Machine construction

• The machines from BTD Technics are robustly constructed for professional use, with a splitting force of up to 20 tonnes depending on the model.
• PROcompact, PROcompact-S and PROplus are easily mechanically connected to the carrier vehicle using bolt-on mounting plates, which are supplied as standard.
• The TrailerPlus-M is built as an independent mobile production unit on a road-approved trailer chassis and therefore does not require mechanical coupling to a hydraulic carrier vehicle.
• The log support and processing system are suitable for handling curved logs.
• The wide and robust clamping system securely fixes curved logs on the press table. Proper clamping reduces lateral forces on the guide bar during sawing. Straight-cut wood blocks then pass smoothly through the splitting process.
• Vulnerable mechanical and hydraulic components are integrated into the construction as much as possible for protection and are not unnecessarily exposed within the machine’s working area.
• The press table has a large guide surface and a favourable pressure-point position to minimise wear and unwanted loads on the construction.
• The hydraulic splitting-knife adjustment of the PROplus and TrailerPlus-M is protected within the construction. This means there are no protruding, vulnerable moving parts underneath the main structural profile.
• The splitting knives are designed with scissor-like, staggered side blades in relation to the vertical main blade, with up to four stages. This reduces the required splitting force and distributes the forces on the construction more favourably.
• On the PROplus, the splitting knife follows the grain of the wood vertically as much as possible during the splitting process. This helps reduce the required splitting force and lowers the load on the construction.
• The splitting knives are manufactured from Hardox 450. The side blades of the star-shaped splitting knives have a robust thickness of 15 mm.
• For the PROplus, 4-, 6-, 8- and 12-way splitting knives are available. The TrailerPlus-M is equipped as standard with an 8-way splitting knife; 4-, 6- and 12-way splitting knives are available as options.
• A special anti-tilt stop supports reliable processing at shorter cutting lengths by allowing short wood sections to fall into the splitting chamber in a controlled manner.
• The machine is designed for low maintenance. Regular maintenance focuses, among other things, on the high-quality saw chain and Harvester guide bar with 0.404″ chain.
