Choosing a log splitter means understanding how its core components work in harmony. The Wallenstein 20-ton log splitter, featuring a 4-inch cylinder, a two-stage pump, and a direct pressure wedge, stands as a prime example of an effective and efficient machine for virtually all your firewood needs.
Speed
Our 20-ton splitter's remarkable speed comes directly from its two-stage pump. This pump is designed to move the splitting wedge quickly. When there's no resistance (like when the wedge is extending to meet the log, or retracting), it operates in a high-flow mode. This allows for a rapid cycle time, often as quick as 6.62 seconds, letting you process more wood in less time.
Power
The 20 tons of splitting force are generated by the 4-inch cylinder working in perfect sync with the two-stage pump. The pump delivers the high hydraulic pressure needed, and the large surface area of the 4-inch cylinder then converts that pressure into immense pushing power. This combination allows our splitters to effortlessly tackle a wide range of logs—from seasoned softwoods to tough, green hardwoods and even those stubborn, knotty pieces common in many regions.
Integration
The seamless coordination between the 4-inch cylinder and the two-stage pump is key to the splitter's impressive overall time efficiency. The pump's ability to switch between high-speed movement and high-pressure force means minimal wasted motion. Combined with the direct pressure wedge, which ensures all that force is concentrated on the log, you get consistent splitting across various log types and sizes. This efficient system means less waiting and more splitting, whether you're working in your backyard or handling light commercial tasks.
In conclusion, our 20-ton Wallenstein Log Splitters are built for lasting performance. This integrated design guarantees you get a powerful, fast, and versatile machine. Investing in these features means you'll spend less effort and enjoy more firewood for many seasons to come.
