A log splitter processor was delivered to a firewood producer in central Portugal. The company sells split firewood to homes, restaurants, and holiday rentals. Before the new machine, the team used a chainsaw and a small manual splitter. Output was limited, and autumn orders were often delayed. The owner wanted one machine that could cut and split in one pass. He also needed a conveyor to move finished wood away from the work area. He compared options, requested a quote, and placed an order. The unit arrived at the port of Leixões and was trucked to the yard.
The yard sits near pine and eucalyptus forests. Firewood demand rises from October to March, so the busy season is long.
Location: central Portugal, near a main road for easy truck loading.
Main problem: labor. Three workers ran the chainsaw and manual splitter.
Goal: cut labor to one or two people.
Wood type: eucalyptus is dense and hard to split by hand.The owner searched for a log splitter for sale in Europe but found few options with a built-in conveyor. He contacted YG Machinery for price, shipping, and spare parts details. The quote covered the machine, conveyor, and extra knives. He compared two models and chose the larger unit for eucalyptus and oak.
The selected unit is a 20T model. It uses a 15HP gasoline engine and a two-stage oil pump. The hydraulic log splitter produces 20 tons of force. Cycle time is 8 seconds.
Key configuration:
3.2m conveyor
Hydraulic rotator
4-way knife (6-way optional)
Adjustable sawing speed
YG arranged shipping from China to Portugal. The company sent a manual, wiring diagram, and video guide before delivery. The machine was set up and started on the same day. YG provided remote guidance by video call. The operator learned the one-handle control valve in less than an hour. The yard also received a spare chain and two extra belts.
The Firewood Splitting Machine started on the first day without problems. Fuel use is about 6.5L per shift, and the 50L oil tank supports long working days.
Daily checks are simple:
Check oil
Clean the filter
Sharpen the chain
The 12-inch tyres make the unit easy to move around the yard. In winter, the machine starts in cold weather and reaches working pressure quickly. The yard runs two shifts during the busiest months. The one-handle control valve keeps the splitting cycle smooth, and the hydraulic rotator turns large rounds automatically.
After six months, the yard reports steady output. The machine runs about 5 m³ per hour. Two workers now handle the same volume that took three workers before.
One operator loads logs, and the machine cuts, splits, and conveys the wood. The conveyor is the biggest labor saver. Finished firewood drops directly into a trailer or storage bay.
The customer tested the machine on pine, eucalyptus, and oak. The industrial log splitter handled eucalyptus without stalling. No major downtime has been reported. Autumn orders are now met without weekend overtime. The owner may add a 6-way knife next season.
