Log Splitters Ama

AMA log splitters are sturdy machines designed in accordance with applicable European safety standards. They mechanically split logs intended for stoves, fireplaces and thermo-fireplaces, reducing the physical effort required when using axes and splitting mauls. They are suitable for preparing household firewood supplies, seasonal work and semi-professional activities involving limited quantities of wood.

AMA was established in 1967 by Luciano Malavolti in a small garage in the province of Reggio Emilia. The company became an industrial group in the 1980s and expanded through acquisitions and the establishment of new companies during the following decade. In 2022, it celebrated the 55th anniversary of its foundation.

Today, AMA operates internationally in the field of components and equipment for agricultural machinery, Off-Highway vehicles and grounds maintenance. The group includes more than 26 companies and remains a family-run business, led by Alessandro Malavolti. Its range includes hundreds of thousands of products for OEM and Aftermarket markets.

AgriEuro offers AMA electric log splitters, suitable for work in places with access to the mains supply. The choice must take into account splitting force, accepted log dimensions, wood hardness and working frequency. The models in this category are not suitable for large logs with numerous knots or particularly twisted grain; these conditions require a suitably sized professional machine.

On AgriEuro, AMA log splitters can be selected according to their technical features, helping users find the machine best suited to their needs. The comparison should begin with the type of wood available, the usual log dimensions and the quantity expected during each session.

• Splitting force: expressed in tonnes, it indicates the force exerted by the ram and wedge on the wood. Hard, green or knotty logs and those with irregular grain require greater force than dry, straight logs;
• Electric power supply: the electric motor drives the hydraulic circuit pump and requires connection to a compatible mains supply. Voltage, rated power and connection requirements must be checked on the individual model’s product data sheet;
• Machine orientation: on vertical models, the wedge moves downwards onto the upright log. On horizontal models, the log rests along the beam and is pushed against the wedge;
• Ram stroke: this determines the maximum accepted log length and affects the cycle time. The value should be compared with the usual length of firewood prepared for stoves or fireplaces;
• Maximum log diameter: this represents the approximate size of the log that can be processed under the conditions specified by the manufacturer. Knots and twisted grain may reduce the effective splitting capacity;
• Motor power: this indicates power consumption and contributes to the operation of the hydraulic system. It should not be assessed on its own, as the actual pressure also depends on the pump, cylinder and machine configuration;
• Structure and transport: the frame, wheels and handles affect stability and movement. Weight and overall dimensions must be compatible with the working location and the space available for storage;
• Safety controls: guards and operating systems restrict access to moving parts during the cycle. Correct operation requires a stable surface and compliance with the procedures provided in the manual.

AMA log splitters in this category meet the requirements of hobby and semi-professional users, depending on the specifications of the selected model. They are suitable for periodically preparing pre-cut firewood for fireplaces, stoves and thermo-fireplaces. Continuous work and particularly demanding logs require a professional log splitter with greater splitting force.

This category includes machines designed to mechanically split logs intended for household heating. The hydraulic system transfers power from the motor to the ram and wedge. The wood is divided into pieces that are easier to stack and subsequently burn.

AMA electric log splitters use a motor connected to a hydraulic pump that drives the ram. The log is placed on the supporting surface according to the machine’s orientation; the wedge then applies the pressure required to split the wood along its grain. These models are suitable for the seasonal preparation of firewood for stoves, fireplaces and thermo-fireplaces in locations with access to electricity. Starting requires no fuel, and the electric motor produces less noise than an internal combustion engine. Before purchasing, the splitting force should be compared with the hardness, diameter and length of the logs most frequently processed. Voltage, power consumption, weight and machine dimensions should also be checked. The hydraulic circuit, fasteners and moving parts require periodic checks according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

AMA designs and manufactures components and equipment for agricultural machinery, Off-Highway vehicles and grounds maintenance machinery. Over the course of its development, it has expanded its range with different equipment families, including brush cutters, generators, power barrows, chainsaws and lawn mowers.

The choice depends on the diameter, length, hardness and quantity of the logs to be processed. These factors should be compared with the model’s splitting force, ram stroke, orientation, power supply and overall dimensions.

The required force varies according to the characteristics of the wood and not only its diameter. Hard, green or knotty logs and those with twisted grain require greater force than dry, straight logs of the same size.

Yes, provided the model’s specifications are compatible with the logs and the expected volume of wood. The mains connection makes these machines suitable for seasonal work near the home or in other locations with access to electricity.

The vertical configuration facilitates the positioning of heavy logs on the lower platform and occupies less space in width. The horizontal configuration provides linear support for the log and is practical for small or medium-sized pieces.

The accepted dimensions vary according to the ram stroke, work platform and splitting force. The maximum length and diameter must be checked in the individual model’s product data sheet and manual.

This depends on the machine’s force and the structure of the log. Very twisted grain, large knots and substantial diameters may exceed the capacity of hobby models and require a professional log splitter.

Maintenance includes checking the hydraulic oil, possible leaks, fasteners and moving parts. The intervals, type of oil and procedures must comply with the instructions in the machine manual.

The log must rest securely in the intended position and be aligned with the grain. Logs placed at an angle or exceeding the limits specified by the manufacturer must not be inserted.

The machine must operate on a stable surface, with intact guards and controls and no other people in the working area. Operators must wear the protective equipment specified in the manual and must not touch the log while the ram is moving.

Spare parts can be found using the parts diagram associated with the product in the AgriEuro account. The system links the available components to the ordered model and reduces the risk of selecting incompatible parts.
