Ceccato Olindo BULL SPLE13-650TC - Electric log splitter - Vertical

Ceccato Olindo Bull SPLE13-650TC log splitter is a vertical log splitter intended for intensive uses. It comes with a big wedge, which slides on a thick steel guide which prevents the cylinder from wear.

This Bull SPLE13-650TC log splitter is powered by a 3 Hp single-phase electric motor. With its 13 ton splitting force, it can break knotty logs of different sizes up to max. 67 cm in height.

Ceccato Bull SPLE13-650TC log splitter is provided with the ground split system. It is provided with a safety arch, adjustable end-of-stroke automatic control system and other safety devices for protecting the Operator during use.

Ceccato Bull log splitter is entirely made in Italy.

This machine is part of the Bull log splitter Series by Ceccato Olindo.

WEDGE: cutting wedge with 3° tilt towards the frame.

SUPPORT PLATFORM: the thickness of the supporting plate is 50 mm, thus improving the stability of the machine. The support platform reaches 100 mm beyond the edge of the cutting wedge.

PISTON STROKE: the cutting wedge at the end of the stroke features a residual distance of 100 mm from the cutting plate.

UPPER CONTROL LEVERS: the levers have been shortened as to comply with the Directive.

LOWER CONTROL ARM LEVERS: shortened levers on the log supporting arms. Thus, their positioning in compliance with the height measures stated in the Directive. The indicative shape has been specifically selected to prevent the possible fall of the log towards the Operator.

HYDRAULIC HOSES: we have increased the hose diameter for ensuring a lower oil temperature. Cable protection and shielding with Ceccato Olindo screen-printed canvas sheathing with steel studs. In case of damage or burst of the hose, this holds the oil and vaporises it without any risk of injury.

LOG LIFTING SYSTEM: installation of a log lifting device synchronised with the movement of the cutting wedge

Each machine model features all the specifications required in accordance with the Directive. Thus, all the use and maintenance instructions are properly upgraded.

The Ceccato log splitter is in compliance with the DIN EN 609-1: 2017 Directive.

This log splitter can be directly connected to the standard domestic wall socket, and it is powered by the 230V 3Hp single-phase motor featuring 2.2 Kw of power.

The log splitter operates by using the high-performance double hydraulic pump operation, which achieves 190 bar working pressure and can pump 19 L/min, supplying oil, drawn from the tank, to the hydraulic cylinder which acts as a pusher.

The frame of the machine structure itself acts as the hydraulic oil tank.

The advantage of the two-stage pump is that it allows the piston to double, or more, its speed, compared to normal single phase 3 Hp log splitters equipped with a single pump.

Furthermore, the two-stage pump allows you to halve the operating time and increases the productivity of the log splitter.

Two-stage pump fully made in Italy.

With its 13 ton splitting force, it can break knotty logs of different sizes up to max. 67 cm in height.

This is possible thanks to the very sturdy and large piston, which features an 80 mm outer diameter and a 40 mm internal diameter.

The piston slides on a steel guide in order to preserve the cylinder even under extra load. Moreover, it comes with a high-density ABS piston side guides with bronze plate.

Highly wear-resistant guides. Their bronze sliding plate prevents the steel log support from wear.

The cutting wedge is made of highly sturdy melted pressed steel and features a 26 cm splitting length.

Adjustable piston stroke: when splitting short logs, you can speed the operations as the piston stroke can be adjusted by means of a tightening screw.

The log splitter is equipped with a built-in variable speed cylinder drive circuit.

The dual control levers for operating the machine must necessarily be operated by the Operator using both hands, for avoiding any kind of injury.

When light pressure is applied, the log splitter makes the pushing cylinder move quickly until it comes into contact with the log.

By applying more pressure on the control handles, the piston considerably slows down its speed and increases the wedge splitting force of up to 13 tons.

Single or double speed can be selected by simply pressing down on the control handles with more or less pressure. Once the wedge will contact the log, the Operator will automatically know how much pressure to apply on the handles so that the wedge concentrates all the power of the log splitter for splitting the log.

Focus on the motor start control

This log splitter is made with thick enamelled steel sections that compose the highly sturdy boxed frame. Most log splitters on market mount an “H” shaped frame but this Ceccato log splitter mounts a boxed frame, which is reinforced with front plate where the wedge slides. This plate is made of high-strength tempered steel, which is harder than the steel used for the frame. This means that the frame and the support platform are very sturdy and strong.

This log splitter comes with 27 cm diameter wheels to make transport easier, and it is perfectly balanced. Even just one Operator can transport the machine even if it weights around 300 Kg.

In specific situations, it can also be lifted using the specific lifting point connection.

This machine complies with the security Directives in order to guarantee a completely safe operation.

Wedge lift locking device. Pressing this upper support automatically stops the piston from rising. This allows you to safely use the log splitter, avoiding the risk of injury to hands and wrists.

To use an electric log splitter correctly, you must follow the instructions in the manual and always operate within the limits specified by the manufacturer. Using the machine correctly ensures smoother operation and reduces the strain on the machine.

Before starting operation, it is important to assess the characteristics of the wood. Knotty, twisted, irregular logs or logs with interlocked grain may be more difficult to split and require greater splitting force. The species of wood, moisture content and degree of seasoning can also affect the log’s resistance.

The dimensions of the logs must fall within the minimum and maximum values specified by the manufacturer. The log with a maximum diameter represents a dimensional limit, but the actual splitting capacity also depends on the shape and condition of the wood. If the splitting wedge encounters excessive resistance, it is advisable to stop the operation and reposition the log, avoiding subjecting the machine to prolonged strain.

The log must be positioned securely and correctly centred on the support surface. The wood fibres should be aligned as closely as possible with the splitting direction. Avoid splitting logs that are positioned crosswise, at an angle or unstably, as these may shift during the splitting cycle.

Process only one log at a time. Do not stack multiple logs or use other pieces of wood to compensate for an uneven support surface. The work area must also be kept clear of debris and obstacles that could interfere with the operator or the movement of the machine.

The log splitter must be used exclusively for splitting logs and pieces of wood that are compatible with the machine’s specifications. It must not be used to process stones, metals, building materials or other unsuitable items.

Before starting the log splitter, check that the machine, safety devices and power cable are in good condition. During operation, keep hands and other parts of the body well clear of the splitting wedge, the piston and areas where crushing may occur. It is also recommended that suitable protective equipment be worn, such as gloves, safety footwear and eye protection.

Before carrying out any cleaning, inspection or maintenance, the log splitter must be switched off and disconnected from the mains supply. Regular checks and adherence to the manufacturer’s instructions help to keep the machine efficient and safe over time.
