What is an Excavator Wood Processor?
An excavator wood processor is a machine designed to quickly and efficiently cut, split and process wood. It is usually attached to an excavator, and is used in forestry operations, landscaping and construction. The excavator wood processor uses a hydraulic ram to split logs, and a saw to cut them into pieces. It also has a grapple to hold the logs in place while they are being cut. The excavator wood processor is a powerful and efficient tool for cutting and splitting logs, and can significantly speed up the process of timber harvesting.
An excavator wood processor can process logs of various sizes and shapes. It has a blade that rotates in a spiral motion, which produces an even cut. In addition to this, it uses low power and can chop up to several logs at the same time. It also has a broad output conveyor that prevents jamming.
Hahn HFP160 Firewood Pro
The Hahn HFP160 Firewood Pro attachment for an excavator transforms the vehicle into a full-featured firewood processor. It picks up a log from the ground, splits the wood into four or six lengths, and places the pieces into a truck or bin for storage. It is designed for commercial firewood operations. It offers high production, long life, and economical operation.
This firewood processor is an attachment that attaches to excavators, skid steer loaders, and compact track loaders. It is operated with eight push buttons attached to the loader’s joysticks. The HFP160 is capable of processing logs up to 16″ in diameter. This unit has adjustable splitters that enable the operator to produce uniform-sized firewood from records of different sizes.
This Hahn HFP160 firewood processor can split a log into four, six, or eight pieces. It is designed to fit on a skid steer loader, but some customers are making modifications to do it on their excavators. It has been in development for two years, and it has been field tested on a commercial woodlot. Its cost is on the low end of commercial-grade firewood processors.
The HFP160 Firewood Pro has a compact design and low hydraulic requirements, making it ideal for small to mid-sized excavators. It can also operate with tighter spacing, a significant benefit for smaller operators. Moreover, it minimizes the damage to remaining trees.
Its hydraulic log splitter has a chainsaw cutter that automatically drops the cut log onto the splitting table. Its hydraulic system features an oil tank and a discharge conveyor. It can handle records up to 20 feet in length. Moreover, its hydraulic system features a clutch that controls the power of the cutting chain. This system also saves lubricant by stopping between cuts. An oil cooler is also included to ensure reliability during long periods of sustained use.
It is also available in two models. The mountable version allows splitting logs into four or eight pieces. The mobile version provides for the deposit of firewood on the ground. It is easy to use and comes with one-year parts and labor warranty. It is designed for commercial and home use and is sold throughout the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.
Halverson HWP 120B
The Halverson HWP 120B excavator wood processor is a powerful and productive machine that can be mounted on a skid steer or excavator. It can process up to one and a half cords of wood per hour. This equipment is made in Minnesota and is highly safe to use.
SSP-180 Pro
The SSP-180 Pro excavator-mounted wood processor is an easy-to-use and versatile machine. It features an auto-retracting saw and splitter and a hydraulically adjustable 4-way splitter. It can handle wood logs of up to 18 inches in diameter. The machine’s intuitive controls make it easy to use and operate.
Halverson argues that Classified infringes the patent by advertising the SSP-180 on its website. This advertisement continued until November 2019, when the demand letter notified Classified of the alleged active inducement of infringement. This demand letter satisfied the pleading standard for knowledge of infringement. Therefore, the Court will deny Classified’s motion to dismiss for dynamic appeal.
Uniforest
The Uniforest excavator wood processor is a powerful, versatile tool for processing logs. The product features a TCT circular saw or chainsaw cutting, a 16-inch or 17-inch capacity, and up to 20 tonnes of splitting force. It comes with two, four, six, eight, or twelve-way splitting knives and a sawdust collection cyclone.
It’s fully mechanical, which makes it ideal for complex conditions. The processor’s spiral blade cutter produces a uniform cut. The unit also features a wide output conveyor to prevent jamming. And it can process multiple logs at once. The operator can operate the machine from the cab.
