Whitlands Engineering Rex X Firewood Processor Whitlands Engineering 2021-09-14 | After a lot of research and discussion with participants in the Australian Firewood Industry, Whitlands Engineering identified a need for a high-volume production wood splitter built to handle all species of Australian hardwood timbers and with the specific goal of producing split firewood for bagging operations.As a result of this, the REX X Splitter prototype was developed. Loosely based on a kindling splitter we developed previously; we have repurposed this concept into a new splitting machine. The X blade auto cycles as the blocks move through the blade at predetermined increments. The infeed belt increments can be pre-set to produce large or small wood pieces and also kindling.

Rex 900 2020 model Firewood Processor designed by Whitlands Engineering Whitlands Engineering 2021-01-28 | The design of the Rex 900 Firewood Processor has revolutionised the industry - guaranteeing very high output with very low overheads. Designed and built in Australia, the Rex 900 has a proven reputation for good design, efficiency & reliability. Powered by a fuel efficient 50hp Deutz engine, the Rex 900 will split and load up to 15m3 of the toughest Australian hardwood per hour, with only one operator.In 2020, the Rex 900 design was upgraded. The re-design has taken just over a year to complete, with the first machines leaving the factory recently. The improvements were focused on the block feed conveyor & the chassis layout. The upgraded conveyer now features an innovative steel cleat system that automatically feeds blocks in increments under the blade for splitting, producing a much better sample of split wood with less wastage and less operator input. Additionally, the legs are now adjusted hydraulically, making the set up process more efficient; and the outfeed elevator has been upgraded to 9.5m long – which also features a hydraulic winch.See superaxe.com.au for full details
Whitlands Engineering Log Buster - from the makers of Superaxe Whitlands Engineering 2020-08-04 | Introducing the next project from Whitlands Engineering – the Rex Log Buster. After a lot of research and discussion with participants in the firewood industries in both Australia and New Zealand we found there was a gap in their ability to handle and process the ugly logs that are accumulated as the result of logging and firewood operations.The ugly logs are generally too big and gnarly to worry about or are dealt with by workers hanging off the end of the biggest available chainsaws. Breaking these logs down to a handleable size and able to then be reworked with smaller type firewood processors is certainly an arduous task. Loosely based along the lines of the very successful Superaxe wood splitters, Whitlands Engineering have designed and built their first Rex Log Buster designed to split ugly logs up to 3 meters long and 1.5 meters plus in diameter.Designed to be operated from the cab of a 20 ton plus excavator, the log buster can produce up to 90 tons of splitting force. The blade has a travel speed of about 100mm per second, the full travel distance through a 3-meter log being about 30 seconds. In most cases the log will have broken apart long before the full splitting stroke has been reached.The Log Buster weighs almost four tons and requires a minimum 21 ton digger to operate effectively. Quick hitch assemblies are removable and quick hitches can be made to suit all different brands / configurations of excavators up to 35 tons.TESTING THE FIRST PROTOTYPEInitial field tests, shown on the video footage, show the Log Buster breaking up ugly red gum and yellow box logs up to 1.2 meters in diameter. This wood yard had accumulated a huge quantity of oversize logs over time, so the owners were certainly happy to have this machine tested on site. Over two days (16 machine hours), approximately 500 tons of oversize logs were processed and split to a size that the Rex 800 Log Saw could handle. The equivalent job on chainsaws was estimated to be about four months work, highlighting the massive efficiencies that can be achieved with this machine.

Trommel Wood Cleaner by Whitlands Engineering Whitlands Engineering 2018-03-19 | The Trommel is designed as an add on to a bulk processing system. Cleaning the wood in the last step before packaging for bulk retail sale. The Trommel will efficiently remove all fines (dirt, gravel, wood chips & splinters) through the fine screen and most of the kindling and smaller pieces of wood through the coarse screen. For wood yards this means the wood is cleaner, more saleable and results in more accurate weight measurement. With a constantly loaded infeed hopper, the capacity of this machine is estimated in excess of 60m3 per hour. Talk with our team about customising a trommel to suit your requirements.Whitlands Engineering are specialists in the design and manufacture of firewood processing equipment & machinery.

REX 800 Log Saw Australian Made by Whitlands Engineering Whitlands Engineering 2018-01-25 | A smaller, lower cost version of the Rex Log Saw 1050, this firewood docking saw is a very productive hydraulic drive chain saw capable of cutting 800mm diameter logs. The unique log infeed system handles all logs – including bent logs – capably. With low running costs, minimal labour input and high production output it is considered to be extremely efficient, giving a good return on your investment. It is designed to work in conjunction with the Rex 600X Firewood Processor where cut blocks drop directly into the Rex 600X hopper for processing into firewood. An optional block conveyor is available for loading blocks into the Rex900, or stockpiling/ truck loading.The Rex Log Saw 800 is a fully self-contained unit. The 43 inch chain saw bar is hydraulically driven from the 50hp Yanmar diesel. Logs are loaded onto the log deck with a loader, fed into the trough using a hydraulic chain drive system and then fed into the saw head using a unique log pusher system. An increment system ensures even block length and blocked timber is carried away by the 5m conveyer for splitting or stockpiling. Importantly, the operator’s working environment is safe, as they are well clear of the saw zone. This machine is WorkCover compliant making it ideal for firewood businesses who are seeking to reduce their liability.Designed with a well specified hydraulic system, and built with quality components (and minimal electronics), the Rex Log Saw 800 will give thousands of hours of trouble free operation.
