Black Splitter
 
Black Splitter
 
The Black Splitter S2, S2X and SG1 wood splitter attachments are designed to fit all models of excavators up to 14 ton. The unique rotating threaded cone provides extremely efficient wood-splitting power for various timber types including hard, soft, straight, twisted, stumps and roots. The two piece chromium-steel cone with replaceable tip has a dual helical thread design with a thread pitch of 24 mm for rapid penetration into the hardest of timber. The cone can also be used to maneuver and position individual logs before and after splitting, which the powerful grapple arms of the SG1 – each boasting 3500 kg of compressive force – make particularly easy to do.

The S2 and S2X attachments are available with three different size motors (630, 800, 800+) to enable adequate power and torque based on individual customer need and/or excavator size. The S2 and S2X are essentially the same attachment, but the S2X has a larger adapter flange, designed to fit larger attachment adapters for larger excavators. For this reason, the S2X also comes with a larger cone than that of the S2 (245 mm dia. instead of 200 mm dia.), which by design both shields and enables the attachment housing to follow the cone into the depth of the timber being split. For S2 or S2X attachments with the 800+ motor, a motor case drain line must be attached to prevent damage to the motor shaft seal due to possible hydraulic oil leakage into the motor casing. The port for the motor case drain line is located behind the adapter flange between the ports for the hydraulic hose connections.

The SG1 attachment is available with two motors (630 and 800) and is distinguished by its pincers-shaped grapple, which permits the excavator operator to gather, split and collect timber with this single attachment. The grapple does not swivel, which ensures optimal safe operator control. The SG1 requires two auxiliary control circuits but can be manufactured to accommodate excavators equipped with only one auxiliary control circuit. For such excavators, a special system can also be incorporated into the SG1 manufacture to enable wood-splitting threaded cone operation within the grapple’s grasp.
Black Splitter
All Black Splitter attachments are maintenance-free devices and are sold with adapter flange, housing, hydraulic motor and cone assembly as complete units. Hydraulic hoses are not included. Excavator attachment adapters are also not included due to the wide variety of excavator adapter dimensions. However, attachment adapters can be readily welded to the adapter flange, which is bolted to the attachment housing. Instructions for safe attachment operation and handling are available in English and German.

Black Splitter manufactures the S2, S2X and SG1 in-house and all Black Splitter products have the required European Union (EU) CE designation. The CE marking certifies that the product has met EU health, safety, and environmental standards for consumer safety, before being placed on the market. These devices may be exported for use abroad inside and outside of the EU.
