About products and suppliers

A firewood processor is a handy machine that aims to cut and split firewood with minimal manual handling of the logs. It can be practical and energy-saving. However, a more economical way is to opt for a used firewood processor. Here are some factors to look out for before getting one.

Durability and lifespan

The life span of used firewood equipment directly impacts your daily operation. The machine’s overall durability and build quality to withstand the rigors of running all day and every day should be one of the top priorities to look out for.

Speed (Cords-per-hour)

Cords-per-hour is an industrial standard that refers to the number of cords a machine can process in an hour. Speed depends on several factors, including log diameter, straightness of the log, log length, and consistent loading. Efficient firewood appliances tend to be the first choice of most users.

Safety

Safety is a necessary part of used firewood equipment. Metal screens, two-hand operation, and bullet-proof glass are all great features to ensure safety. Fully electric controls (which keep hydraulic lines away from the user) are also a safety feature because a hydraulic line burst can be fatal.

Comfort

Comfort is also a big deal. Small firewood processing machines often require the operator to stand as a cost-saving measure. Mid-sized machines often have an outdoor platform, optional cab, or seat to ease the burden on the knees and back. Meanwhile, large firewood appliances often have options for A/C or a radio.

Cost to operate

Cost to operate includes labor, maintenance, and fuel usage. Labor and fuel can be easily converted to hourly rates, but maintenance costs require more elaboration and calculation. Once combined into a one-hourly rate, these three factors determine the true cost of operating a used firewood processor.

Used firewood processing machines, from mobile firewood processors to large firewood processing equipment, are now available for a reasonable price on Alibaba.com!
