Using the out-feed conveyor
The out-feed conveyor can be controlled horizontally and vertically. The safety zone for the out-feed conveyor
is 10 metres. When operating the machine, the maximum permitted angle of the out-feed conveyor is 40°.
The running speed of the out-feed conveyor can be freely adjusted with adjustment screw B (Figure 10). The
standard equipment of the splitter includes an out-feed conveyor reverse valve that allows a jammed log to
be easily removed from between the conveyor belt and separation plate C, by reversing the conveyor belt a
short distance. You can also stop the belt completely by setting the conveyor control valve A (in Figure 10) to
its middle position.
The tension (and alignment) of the output conveyor’s belt is adjusted with nuts A (2 pcs) by loosening the
adjustment nut on the side to which you wish the belt to run.
The out-feed conveyor is equipped with an
automatic debris removal device. It separates
debris and sawdust from the processed
firewood.
The following factors significantly affect the
operation of the debris removal device: the
angle of the out-feed conveyor, the speed of
the belt and the distance and height of
separation plate C from the upper roller of the
conveyor. In other words, the debris
separation result is better the steeper the
angle (however, no more than 40 degrees),
the lower the speed and the longer the
distance between separation plate C and the
upper roller. The distance of separation plate
C is optimised at the factory in conjunction
with the testing of the machine. However, the
adjustment can be changed, if necessary.
The optimal speed for the belt can be
determined by trying different settings. The
split logs should only just pass over the plate.
The separation plate can be adjusted in the
longitudinal direction using adjustment screws
B (in Figure 26), and in vertical direction using
the bolts at the end of the separation plate.
If necessary, separation plate C can also be
disabled (when using the Hakki Pilke Cleaner
cleaning drum, for example) as follows:
1.
Detach one end of spring A (in Figure
26a, 2 pcs) from separation plate C.
2.
Turn plate C to the lower position, as
shown in Figure 26a.
3.
Lock it in the lower position using latch
Figure 26.
