The Impact of Design Parameters of a Horizontal Wood Splitter on Splitting Force

The article deals with the influence of the shape of the splitting wedge on the size and course of splitting force. Today maximum effort is made to search for and use of energy saving solutions in every industry. Such solutions can include a change of the form of the longitudinal splitting wedge for...

The core of this problem is the experimental detection of powers, followed by analising the individual effects. For this purpose, an experimental device was designed. The base of equipment consists of a mobile horizontal splitter, which is well adapted to capture the process of splitting force in splitting logs.
