Intelligent Two-Stage Pump
Our two-pump hydraulic power pack for log splitter integrates a high-flow gear pump and a low-flow high-pressure pump. During the no-load stage, the system can output a large flow rate to make the hydraulic cylinder extend rapidly. When encountering resistance and the system pressure rises, the large-flow pump will automatically unload, and only the small-flow high-pressure pump will operate. At this point, it can output a power of up to 3500 psi, improving operational efficiency while reducing energy consumption.
Stable and Reliable
For the harsh cold environment often encountered in forestry operations, we have optimized the low-temperature starting performance of the hydraulic power pack for log splitter. By using a high torque starter motor combined with a low flow resistance oil circuit, the power pack can quickly establish its rated working pressure in an environment of -20 ℃. The specially designed low-temperature resistant sealing components can prevent the risk of leakage caused by material embrittlement due to cold, enabling your equipment to maintain stable output in any harsh environment.
Multiple Security Protections
The hydraulic power pack for log splitter contains multiple pressure protection mechanisms. The precisely calibrated relief valve can achieve millisecond-level pressure relief in response to abnormal loads, preventing structural damage to the hydraulic system caused by overpressure. Each hydraulic power pack is equipped with a double-layer steel wire reinforced structure for the hydraulic hose and a fully enclosed transmission guard cover.
Applications of the Hydraulic Power Pack for Log Splitter
At the forestry logging site, the hydraulic power pack for log splitter can provide a continuous high-pressure output. It can easily handle logs with large diameters and high density fibers. It can split long logs and thick sections of wood into sections that are suitable for transportation or further processing within a short period of time.
In farm or rural settings, it is often necessary to deal with tree stumps, branches and leftover wood for use as fuel, charcoal, etc. The hydraulic power pack for log splitter can continuously provide sufficient power to keep a smooth and consistent chipping process, making it suitable for large-scale processing of firewood.
For construction or outdoor wood finishing sites far from power sources, hydraulic power packs driven by electric motors or gasoline engines enable the log splitter to efficiently split wood without a fixed power source.
In wood processing plants or forest product production lines, hydraulic power packs can be matched with conveying, sorting, and cutting mechanisms to enable the log splitter to achieve linked production with other equipment and improve operational efficiency.

| Pressure | ~3000 psi, or as required |
| Flow Rate | ~12 GPM, or as required |
We have installed an air breather on the fuel tank to filter the inhaled air during oil level fluctuations and block external dust from entering the tank. At the same time, the system adopts dual filtering.
At the oil suction end, a magnetic filter screen is installed to capture metal particles. At the oil return end, a high-precision filter with a 10-25 micrometer range is configured to continuously remove tiny impurities from the oil.
The thickened steel fuel tank is treated with electrostatic powder coating, which has excellent heat dissipation performance and can also withstand the impact of gravel and salt spray corrosion.
In high-pressure wood splitting operations, pressure drop occurs at every pipeline joint and elbow. This will waste energy and cause the oil to heat up. Our hydraulic manifold has optimized the internal fluid channels to minimize the path of the hydraulic oil and eliminate potential leakage points. Compared with traditional pipe connections, the use of a hydraulic manifold can reduce fluid friction loss by approximately 10% – 15%.
Woodcutting operations are often carried out in low-temperature environments, where an increase in hydraulic oil viscosity can make it difficult for the pump to absorb oil, resulting in cavitation noise and wear. We have designed a low flow resistance magnetic filter at the oil suction port and optimized the diameter of the oil suction pipe. You can use hydraulic oil of different viscosities according to the season.
We also offer customized fuel tank solutions with a preheating function. By using electric heating elements to raise the oil temperature to a safe range before starting, the system can still establish pressure smoothly under low temperature conditions, protecting the hydraulic pump from damage.
What is the Hydraulic Power Pack for Log Splitter？
The hydraulic power pack of log splitter is an integrated hydraulic power equipment specifically designed for various types of wood splitting machines. It converts the mechanical energy output by the motor or fuel engine into hydraulic energy and delivers stable pressure and flow to the hydraulic cylinder of the log splitter.
This power pack typically includes components such as the power part (electric motor or gasoline engine), hydraulic pump, fuel tank, filtration device, and control valve, and is integrated together in a compact structure.
Key Points for Safe Operation of the Hydraulic Power Pack for Log Splitter
Pre-Start Safety Check
Before each operation, it is necessary to check whether the high-pressure hose has any signs of wear, twisting or oil leakage. At the same time, you need to confirm whether the oil level is within the standard range through the liquid level gauge. It is strictly prohibited to start the power pack when the oil is insufficient. This may cause the hydraulic pump to dry-run and get damaged.
Do Not Disassemble Pipelines under Pressure
Before maintenance or changing fittings, you need to turn off the power source and repeatedly move the reversing valve handle to release the residual pressure in the system completely. The hydraulic system may still retain residual pressure after shutdown, and improper disassembly may result in instantaneous splashing of high-pressure oil.
Standard Operation
During the wood splitting operation, you must wear protective glasses and gloves. Use the hand control device provided by the equipment to operate the log splitter. When adjusting the position of the logs, you should use a push stick or a fixture instead of your hands.
Do Not Use Hands to Detect Leaks
If you suspect that there is a leak in the system, it is absolutely forbidden to directly touch it with your hands. High pressure hydraulic oil can easily penetrate the skin and enter the human body. After the power pack stops and releases pressure, you can use a piece of cardboard or a wooden board to approach the suspected leak point and observe for any oil stains.
Do Not Adjust the System Pressure without Authorization
You can’t increase the preset pressure of the overflow valve without authorization. The factory-set pressure value is determined based on the combined load-bearing capacity of the hydraulic pump, hydraulic cylinder and hose. Improperly increasing the pressure will shorten the lifespan of the components and may also cause the hydraulic system to overpressure, leading to accidents.
Why does the Hydraulic Power Pack for Log Splitter Adopt a Two-Stage Pump?
Optimizing the Match Between Power Output and Engine Load
Before the plate comes into contact with the wood, the system has almost no resistance. At the moment when the wood is split, the pressure demand will quickly reach its peak. A two-stage pump allows the use of smaller power electric motors or gasoline engines to complete high tonnage splitting tasks.
If a traditional single-stage high flow pump is used, when the system pressure increases with resistance, the engine will stall due to insufficient torque. To avoid stalling, you will need to use a higher power drive source, which will increase the cost and weight of the entire machine.
The two-stage pump automatically reduces the flow rate when the pressure increases, allowing the engine to still operate stably when outputting high pressure.
Automatically Switch Working Modes
Low-Pressure, High-Flow Mode: During the unload stage when the plate is close to the wood, both pumps operate simultaneously to provide the maximum flow rate. This enables the plate to reach its position quickly, reducing the waiting time.
High-Pressure, Low-Flow Mode: When the plate contacts the wood and generates resistance, and the system pressure reaches the preset value, the internal unloading valve opens. At this time, the oil from the large displacement pump is directly circulated back to the oil tank, and only the small displacement pump continues to provide pressure.
This enables the log splitter to obtain reasonable power distribution at different stages, maintaining speed during the approach and force during the split.
Reduce System Heat Generation and Energy Loss
During high-pressure operation, the flow resistance of hydraulic oil is converted into thermal energy. If the system continues to operate at a high flow rate, a large amount of oil will flow back through the relief valve under high pressure, resulting in severe overheating.
Using a two-stage pump, after entering a high-pressure stage, the large displacement pump operates at almost zero pressure. At this point, the system only needs to pressurize a small amount of oil. This can reduce the heat generated by fluid friction, prevent the viscosity of hydraulic oil from decreasing, and reduce the risk of thermal aging of seals.
