To ensure extreme durability in harsh environments, it features a KTL (cathodic dip-priming) treatment and powder coating, protecting the structure against corrosion and severe mechanical wear. Its premium pin bearing system ensures smooth, low-maintenance operation throughout its service life.<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Performance and Feed:<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"> Intelligent Power with Autospeed.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Despite its size, the W600 offers a 620 mm opening and a 26-ton splitting force at 240 bar. It includes the Autospeed option\u2014an intelligent hydraulic system that enhances splitting performance by optimizing pressure cycles based on the wood&#8217;s resistance. Its high-strength Hardox\u00ae blade penetrates the most demanding logs, allowing for fast and efficient pre-processing for the biomass industry.<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Versatility and Biomass Quality: <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">More Than Just a Splitter. <\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Pre-splitting with the W600 not only facilitates transport and chipper feeding but also allows for natural wood seasoning (drying). This process significantly increases biomass quality and final energy yield. Furthermore, thanks to its robust and ergonomic design, the tongs can be used as a conventional loading gripper to handle and organize logs on-site, eliminating the need to switch attachments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Fleet Compatibility <\/span><br \/><\/b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">This attachment is engineered to enhance the productivity of compact carriers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 12px;font-family: Poppins, Arial\">Base Machine: Mini excavators and light construction machinery. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 12px;font-family: Poppins, Arial\">Carrier Weight: Optimized for vehicles between 3.5 and 8 tons. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 12px;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><b>Hydraulic Requirements:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 12px;font-family: Poppins, Arial\">Recommended pump flow: 25 \u2013 60 l\/min.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 12px;font-family: Poppins, Arial\">Recommended operating pressure: 190 \u2013 250 bar.

Does the 620 mm opening limit the maximum log diameter?<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"> No. The opening of the tongs determines the size of the final split piece, but it is not a limit for the maximum processable log diameter, as multiple splits can be made on much thicker logs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">2. Can I use the W600 to load wood onto a trailer? <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Yes. The Woodcracker W600 is designed to also function as a loading gripper, allowing the operator to handle, sort, and load logs without changing tools.<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">3. What maintenance does the blade require?<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"> Thanks to the use of Hardox\u00ae steel, the blade is extremely wear-resistant. Maintenance is minimal, focusing on periodic inspections and greasing the premium bearings.<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">4. How does pre-splitting improve biomass quality?<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"> By splitting the log, the interior of the wood is exposed to the air, facilitating a much faster natural seasoning process. This reduces moisture content, prevents rot, and increases the energy yield of the final wood chips.<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">5. Is it difficult to install on a standard mini excavator? <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Not at all. The design is Plug-and-play, requiring a simple hydraulic connection that allows the machine to be operational in a very short time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\">The Woodcracker W600 is the most compact and efficient solution for splitting large-diameter logs using 3.5 to 8-ton base machines. <br \/>With an operating weight of just 310 kg and a 26-ton splitting force, this Hardox\u00ae steel tool allows for the processing of oversized timber with minimal effort, facilitating natural seasoning and optimizing chipper performance.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3966,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_joinchat":[]},"product_brand":[582],"product_cat":[57],"product_tag":[],"translation_priority":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3969","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-westtech-en","7":"product_cat-machine","8":"pa_marca-westtech","9":"pa_tipo-wood-splitter","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"taxable","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/3969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=3969"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=3969"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=3969"},{"taxonomy":"translation_priority","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/translation_priority?post=3969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
