Conveyor for Split Logs

[Artisan]

Gents I have ZERO knowledge w/ conveyors, although this may not be perfect, the question is, will it work. I have not seen it first hand to awnser any questions yet. I want the manufacturers name if possible to see if a cleated belt is available or if I can add cleats to this somehow.

If I put this at maybe a 35 degree angle or so, will split logs ride up it or will
they all slide to the bottom? I am hoping for better pictures today. I have a chance to pick this baby up for $5-$600.00, 110V .

By any chance does anyone have any idea who the manufacturer is?

Looks like a package carrier.

At a low angle, it will probably work as is. If the angle is really steep, you will need a lip or fingers to grab the bottom of the wood to send it up and over the edge.

I think I would put some smooth sides on it to keep the logs on.

J_J you da' man! HA!

If I pick this up I plan on adding some sides, maybe like 6" tall wings on a 45, at least at the start, so as to get logs to aline for the ride up...heck, maybe all the way up, depends. Maybe add a gravity drop extension at the end as well. Thats a good price. The owner says it is a really strong motor. I await more pics.


Wait till you see my new log splitter. WOW! It is on a truck headin' to Cal-A-for-ni-ahhhh.

what about using spray on bed liner on the belt, would that catch the wood?

Bondable Cleats (At the bottom)

depending on clearances and so on, one could use some elevator bolts, (like a flat head carriage bolt to bolt things to belting) and bolt on cleats, depending on clearances any thing from wood to flat iron (or make a skids the cleats can rid on under neath the unit) Elevator Bolts | Fastenal

Yea maybe....elevator bolts and some aluminum angle would do it...Thanx!

I have a Hakki Pilke 1x37 with a conveyor, the belt has a piece of angle iron every 3-4 feet with out it you will have tho keep the conveyor fairly flat.
