JANSEN® TS-30K Log Splitter – 30 metric tons, 110 cm, 400V & PTO

The JANSEN® TS-30K is a heavy-duty, robustly constructed log splitter with 30 metric tons of maximum splitting force and a maximum splitting length of 110 cm. Its unique feature is the combined drive system: The machine can be powered either by the integrated 400V electric motor with 5.5 kW or via the PTO shaft of a suitable tractor.

This provides two drive options. When connected to a power source, the TS-30K can be operated via its electric motor, while the PTO drive can be used for mobile operation with a suitable tractor. The required drive shaft is not included.

Standard features include a log lifter, a 3-point hitch, two different operating modes for the splitting wedge, and two working speeds. With a net weight of approximately 400 kg, the TS-30K is built to be robust.

Choice of 400V electric motor or PTO drive

The JANSEN® TS-30K offers two different options for powering the hydraulic system. First, the machine features a powerful 400V electric motor with 5.5 kW. Second, the log splitter can be powered via the PTO shaft of a suitable tractor.

This allows you to select the drive type that best suits your specific operating conditions.

Please note: The drive shaft required for PTO operation is not included.

400V electric motor with integrated phase inverter

For electric operation, the TS-30K is equipped with a 5.5 kW 400V electric motor.

A phase reverser is integrated into the connection socket for the high-voltage power cable. This allows the phase sequence to be adjusted directly at the connection socket if necessary.

30 metric tons of splitting force & 110 cm splitting length

The JANSEN® TS-30K achieves a maximum splitting force of 30 metric tons and processes logs with a maximum length of 110 cm.

When the cylinder is fully extended, the distance between the splitting wedge and the ground is approximately 16 cm. The hydraulic cylinder has an outer diameter of 138 mm and a piston rod with a diameter of 70 mm.

Two operating modes for the splitting wedge

The TS-30K offers two different operating modes via a simple spring mechanism:

1. Automatic return:
After releasing the control lever, the splitting wedge automatically retracts to the preset position. The retraction position can be continuously adjusted using a lever. For this operating mode, the spring must be disengaged.

2. Splitting wedge remains in position:
After releasing the control lever, the splitting wedge remains in its current position. It only retracts when the control lever is pushed upward. For this operating mode, the spring must be engaged.

This allows the operating mode to be adapted to the specific splitting situation and log length.

Hydraulic system with 2 speeds

The log splitter operates at two speeds. The faster speed is used to bring the splitting wedge into contact with the log. A slower speed is available for the actual splitting process.

The maximum cylinder speed varies depending on the drive type used:

• PTO operation: Forward stroke approx. 5.5 seconds / Return stroke approx. 9.5 seconds
• Electric operation: Forward stroke approx. 7.5 seconds / Return stroke approx. 14.5 seconds

At the slow working speed, the respective times can be expected to roughly double.

Log lifter standard

The attached log lifter assists in raising and positioning heavy logs. This eliminates the need to lift large pieces of wood entirely by hand into the working position.

If the log lifter is not needed, it can be locked in the upper position, where it serves as a second safety bar.

3-point hitch for tractor attachment

For operation and transport with a suitable tractor, the JANSEN® TS-30K features a 3-point hitch.

The top link pin has a diameter of 19 mm, and the lower link pins have a diameter of 22 mm.

Transport & Lowered Cylinder

The log splitter stands on two wheels and also features a transport wheel. This allows the machine to be moved by hand at the work site. Due to its weight of approximately 400 kg, it is recommended to have a second person assist with this.

Alternatively, the TS-30K can be attached to a suitable tractor via its 3-point hitch.

For transport, the cylinder can be lowered with minimal effort to a height of approximately 1.99 m.

Safety & EN 609:2017

The JANSEN® TS-30K is manufactured and produced in accordance with the EU product safety standard EN 609:2017.

Important: A splitting cross is included in the scope of delivery. However, within the European Union, this must not be used when operating the wood splitter, as EN 609:2017 does not permit the use of multiple splitting wedges or splitting crosses with wood splitters.
