Cone Splitter

KCS500 • KCS800
The Klou KCS Cone Splitters are built to break down big timber when mounted on a variety of different carriers, including excavators, mini-loaders and skid-steers. With a high-torque direct drive and an extremely aggressive single-start cone, they are capable of dealing with waste wood, firewood and even old tree stumps.

They can be used for:

  • Breaking up logs that are too big to fit into woodchippers

  • Splitting large-diameter lengths of firewood to allow them to fit wood processors

  • Reducing large pieces of waste wood such as stumps, permitting easier handling

  • General firewood splitting work

Product Features

The cone tip is hardened to minimise wear under heavy usage, and can be replaced if required, without replacing the whole cone.

The low-speed, high-torque geroler motor removes the need for a reduction gearbox, minimising the number of moving parts and maximising efficiency.

The aggressive cone taper angle and sharp, deep thread ensures that the cone rapidly splits the workpiece, without slipping.

The sturdy hydraulic hoses are protected from scuff wear by heavy-duty spiral wrap.

Review of the Klou Cone Splitter

I have noted below some of the benefits we have noticed from owning a Klou Cone Splitter:

Faster, easier and safer firewood processing
The option to split down larger sections of timber for the chipper, saving on extra vehicle trips and space in our yard for low-value timber
The larger timber arisings from tree work can be an extra burden to remove. Customers are often happy to keep the smaller timber that won’t go through the chipper but the oversized timber is too large for them to manage. Having the ability to offer all of the timber to be left in a manageable size saves cost for us and replaces that with a valuable chargeable service to the customer.
