JANSEN® HS-20DS63E Electric Double Log Splitter – 20/17 metric tons splitting force, 60 cm, and 2.2 kW 400-V motor

The JANSEN® HS-20DS63E is the electric version of our proven double log splitter and utilizes both directions of movement of the hydraulic cylinder for splitting. During the forward stroke, a powerful 20 metric tons of splitting force is available, and during the return stroke, an additional 17 metric tons.

This eliminates the empty return stroke typical of conventional log splitters. While other machines must first retract without performing any work after a splitting cycle, the HS-20DS63E allows you to continue splitting immediately on the opposite side.

Power is provided by a powerful 400-V electric motor with 2.2 kW of power. Compared to the gasoline-powered version, the electric splitter operates at a significantly lower noise level and is ideal for users who have a suitable 400-V connection at their worksite.

Dual-action log splitter – splits wood in both directions

The distinctive feature of the JANSEN® HS-20DS63E is its dual-action log splitter principle.

The hydraulic cylinder operates productively in both directions. There are working areas on both sides, allowing wood to be split during both the forward and reverse strokes.

• Forward stroke: up to 20 metric tons of splitting force
• Reverse stroke: up to 17 metric tons of splitting force

After the first splitting operation, there is no need to wait for the cylinder to retract without performing any work. Instead, the next piece of wood is split immediately on the opposite side.

Especially when processing larger quantities of firewood, this design enables a very continuous and efficient workflow.

20/17 metric tons of actually measured splitting force

The splitting force of our log splitters is measured directly at the splitting wedge. The specified 20 metric tons on the forward stroke and 17 metric tons on the return stroke thus refer to the splitting force actually applied to the tool.

This provides high power reserves on both sides of the double splitter for a wide variety of splitting tasks.

---

Only about 7 seconds per cylinder stroke

The powerful hydraulic system enables rapid movement. The cylinder requires only about 7 seconds to complete one full stroke.

In combination with the dual-side splitting principle, this results in a particularly efficient process: place the wood, split it, and immediately perform the next splitting operation on the opposite side.

The hydraulic system operates at a flow rate of approximately 38.6 liters per minute and a hydraulic pressure of 240 bar.

2.2 kW electric motor with 400 V

The JANSEN® HS-20DS63E is powered by a powerful 400-V electric motor with 2.2 kW of power. A corresponding 16-A power supply is required for connection.

The electric drive offers particular advantages where a suitable 400-V connection is available. Compared to the gasoline-powered model, the HS-20DS63E operates at a significantly lower noise level.

In addition, there is no need for fuel supply, engine starting, or the maintenance typically required for an internal combustion engine.

---

Maximum splitting length of approx. 60 cm

The JANSEN® HS-20DS63E processes pieces of wood up to approx. 60 cm in length.

This means the dual log splitter is designed for typical firewood lengths and offers sufficient space for a wide variety of logs during firewood processing.

---

Horizontal design with a comfortable working height

The HS-20DS63E is designed as a horizontal log splitter. The wood support is positioned at a height of approximately 65 cm.

This positions the wood at a comfortable working height. At the same time, the horizontal design enables the characteristic dual-split operation on both sides of the hydraulic cylinder.

---

Splitting wedge and splitting cross included

The JANSEN® HS-20DS63E comes standard with a pre-installed splitting wedge. It is approximately 20 cm long and 15 cm high.

Additionally, a splitting cross is included in the scope of delivery. This is simply slid over the existing splitting wedge and expands the possibilities for firewood processing.

Important: When using the splitting cross, you should process logs with smaller diameters than when working with the standard splitting wedge.

---

Mobile on the Property

The HS-20DS63E features a drawbar with a hitch as well as 10-inch tires. This allows the machine, which weighs approximately 180 kg, to be easily moved to another work site on suitable terrain.

Important: The log splitter is not approved for road use and must not be towed behind a passenger car on public roads in Germany.

For transport on public roads, the machine can, for example, be loaded onto a trailer using suitable ramps and secured accordingly.
