How Does The HAHN Power + Splitting System Work?

How does the HAHN Power + Splitting System work?

The traditional ways of getting both speed & power from a hydraulic cylinder, including 2 stage pumps, multiple pumps, or a regen valve, limit your range of speed & power in comparison to our patent pending Power + Splitting System.  By using 2 or more cylinders of different size, you have a much wider range of speed & power from a single machine, than can be achieved from a traditional 2 stage pump or regenerative valve.

The Power + system gives you a much wider range of capabilities in a single machine.  Blazing fast, sub 2 second cycle times & 40 tons of power, all from a 40 HP machine.

The examples below use 3” (Small) & 5” (Large) splitter cylinders.

Fast mode powers the small cylinder with 10 tons of splitting force.  The small 3" cylinder extends in 1.1 seconds and returns in .6 seconds for a total of 1.7 second cycle time.

Power mode powers the large cylinder with 30 tons of splitting force.  The large 5" cylinder extends in 3 seconds and the small cylinder still returns the push plate at the same .6 seconds, so the cycle time for the 5" cylinder is 3.6 seconds.

Ultra-Power mode powers both cylinders out and provides 40 tons of splitting force.  The extend time is 4.1 seconds and return is also .6, for a total of 4.7 seconds cycle time in this mode.

All 3 modes have a return time of .6 seconds as the small cylinder always returns the ram, regardless of the split mode (Speed/Power/Ultra-Power)

If you’re in the market for a firewood processor but you can’t decide between a fast, european style processor, or a more powerful, but slower processor that’s capable of pushing through a 16-way wedge, now you don’t have to choose.  The Patent Pending HAHN Power + Splitting System gives you the best of both worlds in one machine.
