Conveyor Belts for Firewood – Streamlining Workflows
A conveyor belt for firewood ensures that split logs are transported directly from the log splitter to the trailer, wood storage area, or mesh box without unnecessary manual labor. Especially when handling large quantities of wood, a conveyor belt saves time, reduces physical strain, and enables a continuous workflow. The Jansen conveyor belt was developed specifically for the demands of firewood processing and stands out thanks to its robust construction, ease of use, and reliable supply of replacement parts.
When is a conveyor belt worth it?
Firewood production often involves unnecessary back-and-forth movement. If logs are picked up and moved by hand after splitting, this takes a lot of time and effort. A conveyor belt handles this task automatically and reliably transports the material to the desired destination.
A conveyor belt is particularly useful for:
- regular firewood production
- working with log splitters
- loading trailers or containers
- storing firewood in wood boxes or storage areas
- Reducing physical strain during longer work shifts
The Jansen FB-500 was developed specifically for transporting firewood. With a conveyor length of five meters and a maximum discharge height of just under two meters, split wood can be transported directly to the desired storage location.
The conveyor belt operates at a belt speed of 0.8 m/s. Sturdy carriers made of 3 mm-thick angle steel ensure that even logs are transported safely. At the same time, the well-thought-out design allows for quick assembly and disassembly, so the conveyor belt can be used flexibly at various locations.

What tasks is the conveyor belt suitable for?
Whether for private firewood operations, agriculture, or property maintenance—a conveyor belt simplifies numerous transport tasks.
- Transporting freshly split firewood logs
- Loading trailers or transport vehicles
- Storing firewood on racks or in storage boxes
- Feeding saws or other workstations
- Versatile material transport of light bulk and piece goods
What should you look for when buying a firewood conveyor belt?
In addition to the conveyor length, stability, conveyor speed, and discharge height play a particularly important role. The conveyor belt should be compatible with the existing wood-splitting equipment and provide sufficient capacity to maintain a consistent material flow over the long term.
Equally important are ease of maintenance and the long-term availability of replacement parts. Especially for machines that are used intensively on a seasonal basis, a reliable supply of wear parts pays off.
Jansen – In-House Developed Machines with Long-Term Service
Jansen develops many machines in-house and understands the requirements based on daily practical experience. The FB-500 conveyor belt was also designed for long-lasting use in firewood processing.

If you have questions, knowledgeable representatives provide personalized support—no call centers involved. Many machines can also be viewed and tested in our showroom.
Matching accessories and practical additions
A conveyor belt reaches its full potential when combined with other firewood processing machines. It works particularly efficiently alongside a log splitter or a tilting saw. This creates a seamless workflow from sawing and splitting to storing the finished firewood.
Frequently Asked Questions About Firewood Conveyor Belts
What is a conveyor belt used for in firewood processing?
A conveyor belt automatically transports split logs from the log splitter to the storage area, a trailer, or a mesh box. This shortens walking distances and significantly reduces physical strain.
How high can the Jansen conveyor belt discharge?
The Jansen FB-500 reaches a maximum discharge height of approximately 1.95 meters, making it suitable for filling many trailers, containers, and storage boxes.
Can the conveyor belt also be used for other materials?
Yes. In addition to firewood, the conveyor belt is also suitable for various lightweight piece goods and materials, provided they are compatible with the conveyor’s design and width.
Is the conveyor belt portable?
Yes. Thanks to its well-thought-out design and integrated wheels, the conveyor belt can be easily moved and quickly set up and taken down.
What power supply does the conveyor belt require?
The Jansen FB-500 is powered by a 230-volt outlet and can therefore be used at many locations without a high-voltage connection.
Are spare parts available for the conveyor belt?
Yes. Jansen offers a long-term supply of replacement parts for the conveyor belt. Many replacement parts are available directly from stock.
Is the conveyor belt ready for immediate use?
The unit is delivered pre-assembled. Allow about one hour for final assembly. Detailed assembly and operating instructions are included, and Jansen also provides additional support by phone if needed.
