Strong fatigue, calluses on the hands and pain in the lumbar region - these are the main consequences of prolonged work with chopping wood with an ordinary ax. However, what remains to be done if only a wood-burning stove works at home? Acquiring finished chopped firewood is unprofitable, even for a bathhouse. But what remains to be done? Fortunately, technological progress does not stand still, and now everyone can buy an electric wood splitter. What are its features and what it is, we learn in the course of today's article.
Characteristic
Externally, this device is a small workbench or machine, on which firewood is placed on top, and when you press a certain button, a quick logging occurs. A powerful electric motor instantly compresses a special piston, which, encountering a stump, moves it along the gutter to a sharp knife. After a strong blow, even the thickest tree splits into several parts. Moreover, all that is required of you is to periodically put new logs on the groove and control the operation of the device.
Varieties
It is worth noting that the electric wood splitter can be used both for domestic and industrial purposes. The main difference between these two types lies in the scale of production, well, and, accordingly, in cost. If you have your own small bathhouse in the country, the power of the household device will be quite enough for you. And even if you heat the boiler with wood, the performance of such a wood splitter will be enough for quick harvesting and splitting of logs for the winter. If you are engaged in such a thing on a large scale (i.e. as a business), of course, in such cases it is necessary to purchase an industrial electric wood splitter. Such mechanisms are designed not only for the release of a large amount of material, but also for uninterrupted hours of work.
Also, a screw electric wood splitter is classified by the size of the placed log, the splitting speed and the number of splitting parts. But the most important aspect here is the working position, which can be both horizontal and vertical. As practice shows, the most practical device is a wood splitter with horizontal loading of logs, however, which type to choose is the business of each of us.

At the moment, it is this device that is the most popular and popular in the Russian market. Depending on the technical parameters, the cost of this splitter can be from 11 to 40 and more than thousand rubles. It relates to household devices. Industrial wood splitters cost at least 150 thousand rubles. The leading manufacturers in this category are Palax, PILKEMASTER and Typhoon.
Finally, we note that when buying such devices, pay special attention not only to the characteristics of the engine, but also to the presence of wheels in the structure. Such an electric wood splitter is very easy and convenient to transport alone, while in the absence of wheels, only a few people are able to move such a device.
