To ensure extreme durability against corrosion in harsh environments, it features a KTL (cathodic dip-priming) treatment and powder coating. It incorporates premium pin bearings that ensure smooth operation with minimal wear and low service requirements.<\/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;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">The W820 stands out for its 820 mm opening capacity and a constant splitting force of 26 tons at 240 bar. This model offers the optional Autospeed system\u2014an intelligent hydraulic control that enhances splitting performance by optimizing pressure cycles based on the wood&#8217;s hardness. Its high-strength blade penetrates the most demanding logs, allowing for fast and efficient pre-processing for chipper supply.<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Biomass Quality and Versatility: <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Multi-functionality on the Job Site. <\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Pre-splitting logs with the W820 is more than just a logistical step; it enables a natural drying process that elevates the quality of the resulting biomass. In addition to its primary function, the robust design of the tongs allows them to be used as a conventional loading gripper to handle, sort, and load heavy timber without changing attachments, maximizing the profitability of the base machine.<\/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 medium-duty carriers.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 10pt\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 12px\">Base Machine: Crawler excavators, wheeled excavators, and medium-sized construction machinery.<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 10pt\"><br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 12px\">Carrier Weight: Recommended for vehicles between 5 and 12 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.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Installation: Simple Plug-and-play connection that adapts to any standard quick coupler.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Do you need a specific configuration? <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Contact us for a custom consultation to optimize your production.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/span><br \/><b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">1. What is the maximum log diameter the W820 can split?<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"> The 820 mm opening of the tongs determines the size of the last split piece, but it does not limit the maximum log diameter that can be processed, as multiple passes can be made on much thicker pieces until they are fully divided.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">2. Can the tongs be used to load trucks?<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"> Yes. Thanks to its robust construction and geometry, the Woodcracker W820 can perfectly serve as a loading gripper to handle and organize logs on-site or load them into trailers and chippers.<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">3. How does this tool assist in wood seasoning?<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\"> By splitting the logs, the inner part is exposed to the air, facilitating a much faster natural drying process than in whole logs. This reduces moisture, improves chip quality, and increases its energy value.<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">4. What maintenance does the equipment require? <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">It is a low-maintenance attachment. The use of Hardox\u00ae steel minimizes blade wear, and the premium bearings only require periodic greasing, which reduces technical downtime in the field.<\/span><br \/><b><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">5. Is it compatible with hydraulic rotators? <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Absolutely. Optionally, the W820 can be equipped with an infinite rotator, allowing for much more flexible and precise application, attacking the log from any angle.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\">The Woodcracker W820 is a powerful and versatile tool designed for splitting large-diameter logs with minimal effort, optimized for 5 to 12-ton carrier machines. <br \/>With an operating weight of 370 kg and a 26-ton splitting force, these Hardox\u00ae steel tongs facilitate natural wood seasoning, significantly increasing biomass quality and energy yield.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3981,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_joinchat":[]},"product_brand":[582],"product_cat":[57],"product_tag":[],"translation_priority":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3984","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\/3984","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\/3981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=3984"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=3984"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=3984"},{"taxonomy":"translation_priority","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/translation_priority?post=3984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
