Self-Aligning Tapered Rollers
Belt tracking is a common challenge with many log conveyors on the market, often leading to production interruptions, unnecessary downtime, and increased maintenance demands—issues the TWC-16 is specifically designed to avoid. Thanks to its tapered roller design, the conveyor belt naturally self-centers during operation, automatically guiding itself back into alignment if it begins to drift off track. This self-correcting action remains effective even when the conveyor is positioned on slightly uneven ground, helping ensure smooth, continuous operation, reduced wear on components, and fewer disruptions in the firewood processing workflow.
Rubber Belt Fines Deflector
The rubber belt fines deflector is designed to prevent loose debris, dirt, and fine material from falling into the conveyor’s roller system during operation. By keeping unwanted material out of the moving components, it helps maintain smoother belt performance and reduces the buildup that can interfere with consistent operation. This ensures the conveyor runs more efficiently while minimizing wear on critical parts.
In addition to improving machine performance, the fines deflector plays an important role in product quality by helping produce a cleaner, more uniform stack of firewood at the discharge end of the conveyor. Less contamination in the system means a better final product and reduced cleanup time after processing. It also contributes to longer overall equipment lifespan, allowing operators to maintain high productivity levels for years of continuous use without unnecessary maintenance interruptions.
Spool Valve Controlled Height Adjustments
The TWC-16 firewood conveyor's hydraulic lift cylinder raises and lowers the conveyor, capable of operating as high as 10' in the air and as low as 7'9". The hydraulic lift cylinder is controlled by a tandem center spool valve, located on the Power Pack frame.
By simply removing the hydraulic lift cylinder's pull pin and using the tandem center spool valve, users can make quick height adjustments to the log conveyor without skipping a beat in production. Once the desired height is achieved, lock the lift cylinder into place by re-inserting the pull pin and securing it with a cotter pin.
Safely Transport Your Firewood
All Timberwolf firewood elevators come standard with a ground skid and modular hopper constructed from High Steel plate steel. The ground skid is located beneath the hopper and maintains solid contact with the ground to ensure stability, as well as lifts the firewood conveyor's roller off the ground so unwanted debris can fall through.
These overbuilt features increase the firewood machine's lifespan, as well as create a safe operator experience.
Packaged Firewood Without the Fine Material
The TWC-16 wood conveyor is designed to naturally help separate some fine material during the transfer process as logs move along the belt, improving overall cleanliness and efficiency in the workflow. However, for operations that require an even higher level of finished product quality, the optional Grizzly Bars provide an additional layer of refinement at the discharge point.
Measuring 36 inches in length, the Grizzly Bars are engineered to remove remaining fines and small debris from split logs as they are offloaded, ensuring a cleaner, more uniform final product. Built with a convenient bolt-on frame design, they can be quickly and securely attached to the end of the TWC-16 conveyor, allowing operators to upgrade their system easily without modifying existing equipment.
