Wood splitters "Gorynych": varieties and operating rules

The modern world is distinguished by a high level of mechanization, thanks to which it is possible to save a lot of free time. Now the hard work of chopping firewood can be performed by a special unit - a wood splitter.

Among the small assortment of this type of equipment, the leading position is taken by the Gorynych wood splitter. Its main distinguishing features are reliability, high performance and long service life. The powerful and hydraulically based unit is equipped with a motor and has a well-equipped workstation. The main structural element is a hardened knife, which easily divides the logs into smaller pieces. And also in the structure there is a metal frame that meets the necessary strength requirements, it is on it that the engine is attached.

Like any technique, the Gorynych wood splitter has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are the following:

• one log splits in two seconds;
• the performance of the unit can be increased by adjusting the height of the knife;
• there is a copper radiator in the design, thanks to which the wood splitter can work without stopping in two shifts;
• the knife is made of high quality hardened steel;
• the manufacturer has thought out a comfortable workplace for the operator;
• the surface of the product is coated with a varnish that is resistant to negative weather conditions;
• all components and spare parts are on the market, so there will be no problems with repairs;
• the unit is patented and supplied with a quality certificate.

The hydraulic drive drives the splitter, which is installed in the structure of the wood splitter. The maximum allowable force is 6 tons, which is why the wood splits smoothly, there are no sudden jerks. The operator has the ability to adjust the position of the cleaver so that he splits the log into two or four pieces.

The wood splitter can be equipped with a drive of the following types:

• electric 220 V;
• electric 380 V;
• internal combustion engine.

Model "Gorynych 6T" works from the network. From the technical characteristics: voltage - 380 V, power - 4 kW. It takes only two seconds for the machine to split a log that is 400 mm long. The maximum possible log size is 500 mm. The copper radiator allows the unit to operate even in rain. The total productivity is 10 thousand cubic meters. m of wood.

The Gorynych 6 wood splitter is manufactured in the following versions:

• 9T;
• Lifan 9T4;
• Honda 9T.

The wood splitter that runs on gasoline is represented by the Honda GX 390 unit, which has many advantages.If there is no electricity at the dacha, you simply cannot do without such equipment, since the unit can work autonomously, you just need to stock up on fuel. One pass of the cleaver is enough to completely split the log. The hydraulic system is designed to work in particularly difficult conditions. The log splitter is supplied with wheels R13, the diameter of which is 52 cm, a hitch and a spare knife. The cost of the model is from 120 thousand rubles and may vary depending on the drive, which is in the design and type of engine.

When buying a wood splitter, there are several main points to consider.

• What kind of drive is installed in the structure. It can be electric or hydraulic, the power of the unit depends on its type. The most productive models are equipped with hydraulics. Most often this technique is used on a large scale. For household needs, an electric drive is enough, especially since the cost of such a wood splitter is less.
• What effort does the drive make, moving the feeder and splitting the log into pieces on the cleaver blade, which is installed on a stationary base. If we talk about hydraulics, then the effort there is colossal and reaches 30 tons, on an electric drive - no more than 5 tons.
• Motor type also plays an important role in the choice of such a technique. If this is a stationary model, then an asynchronous power unit for 220 V is more often used in its design, manufacturers for 380 V are rarely used. If a small model of a wood splitter, then both an internal combustion motor and an electric one can be used.

Before starting to work on such a technique, the operator should first prepare the unit, and then the logs. The following tips should be followed:

• the equipment is installed on a flat surface, if there is a slope, then it is possible only to the side where the control lever is located; when the wood splitter is tilted to the side where the cleaver is located, productivity is lost, and sometimes the piston cannot work at all;
• when installing equipment on wheels for transportation, they will need to be removed or blocked;
• before switching on, the cleaver is inspected for defects, damage to parts and other malfunctions - the hydraulic system should not have oil leaks; it is impossible to use equipment with a breakdown, even if it is insignificant;
• if the wire of the wood splitter is not enough to connect to the network, you can use an extension cord, while the cable length cannot exceed 20 meters, since then the device loses its performance;

• the screw plug or screw of the air jet is unscrewed four turns so that the splitter is cooled during operation;
• all logs to be split must comply with the maximum permissible diameter; it is advisable that the wood dries well before work, since in this case it is less likely that the cutter can jam;
• there should be no metal objects in the tree, such as nails, staples, as they can damage the cleaver;
• the log is placed in such a way that the guides hold it correctly, only after that the start button is pressed; some time must pass for the engine to start working at the required number of revolutions; after pressing the second lever, it should be held, the log will start to rest against the wedge and split, as soon as this happens, it is released.
