Big Brother Firewood Processor RCA 380 enables cutting of logs of diameter up to 38 cm and splitting of sawn logs of length from 20 to 50 cm. With the help of optional log loader DM 1511, the logs are loaded to the infeed conveyor and forwarded to the length limiter to be cut.

The cut log falls into the splitting chute where it is pushed against the 2 or 4 way splitting wedge (6 and 8 way splitting wedge optional) by the splitting cylinder with 150 kN force.

The splitting wedges are easy to adjust in order to suit the size of the cut log. The firewood is discharged through the 4 m conveyor.

Marian Krainc, Director of Typhoon Firewood Technologies says the best aspect about the machinery is its safety and reliability.

"The Big Brother Firewood Processor is ideally suited for the dry, hot conditions of Australia, because there are no sparks and everything is hydraulically operated"
