ABSTRACT:
A double-acting hydraulic ram drives a log section or block through a blade assembly to split the log section into several smaller pieces. The blade assembly is configured to minimize the force required to split the log section into several pieces without jamming. More specifically, such assembly includes a vertical blade having a splitting edge inclined rearward in the direction of movement of the block section toward such blade and horizontal wings cantilevered from such vertical blade. Each wing is swept outward and rearward from the vertical blade and has a leading edge staggered rearward from the splitting edge of the vertical blade. An exit conveyor is provided with a chain and flight members driven solely by the reciprocating action of the ram for transporting the split pieces to a desired location.
