K.T.S Firewood Processor
PLEASE NOTE that due to new regulations regarding firewood processors with rotating blades, we no longer sell this machine. All models of the K.T.S Firewood Processor have been designed to withstand many years of hard work with the lowest possible maintenance costs, high productivity and optimum economy.

For this reason, we have chosen to cooperate with a Finnish manufacturer with many years experience of firewood processing. Together we develop the K.T.S Firewood Processor to be able to comply with the highly demanding requirements of our customers, now and in the future.

Thus, you can feel safe and secure when you invest in a K.T.S Firewood Processor - it will last not only for this season, but for many years to come.

Wood-processing should be nice and easy and that is why our firewood processor is very simple to operate and run. An important part is the well-balanced attachment of the cradle, which requires only a minimum of force for the oscillating motion of the cradle during sawing. Moreover, the cradle is at a low level in order to reduce the lifting height.

The cradle is also very long with an adjustable extension, equipped with large support rollers, which makes it easy for you to feed the wood against the saw blade.

We have chosen to equip our firewood processor with a saw blade instead of a cutting sword (chain-saw sword). Both these types have their advantages:
  • Driving of the saw blade is much simpler and more durable (picture 3). the saw blade in one end of the main driving shaft is more durable and requires less maintenance than a sword, which has to be driven by a hydraulic motor.
     
  • Easy sharpening (picture 1, does not apply to carbide-tipped blades) by means of a file, should you by mistake have hit e.g. a nail. Also, the saw blade could be sharpened many more times than a saw chain before it must be replaced, which means lower costs.
     
  • Could be equipped with a carbide-tipped saw blade (picture 2), which could hit normal nails without a need for sharpening. No standstills, simple and comfortable.
     
  • More friendly to the environment: a saw chain has to be lubricated with oil, which flows onto the chain at all times and leaks out into the nature. A saw blade requires no lubricating.
     
  • Much less saw chips to recover from a blade cutter, which facilitates the work.
     
  • What would then be the advantage of a chain-saw sword? - It can be used for coarser firewood dimensions.

There are four possibilities of processing the firewood after cutting:
  • No splitting at all without a cleaver.

  • Splitting into two pieces (picture 4).
     
  • The knife is moved upwards, so that the firewood will be split into four pieces (picture 5), which is much easier than if the cleaver has to be turned around.
     
  • Splitting into six pieces (picture 6) - optional equipment.

Many possible variations make it easy to adopt cutting and splitting to actual working conditions. The design of the cleavers means that the firewood will be evenly split without any splinters.
