March's Hakki Pilke user of the month is Jacques Bourgoin from St-Ignace de Stanbridge Quebec, Canada. He is standing beside the pile of firewood they produced in the first 5 hours that they owned the machine.

Jacques and his father-in law, who`s in his 80`s, operate a steel CNC shop and immediately recognized the quality craftsmanship and design of the Hakki Pilke compared to the competitors.

Jacques has also been really happy with how fast the machine is. They started to think about getting a log table, so that the rest of the process would keep up with the firewood processor’s high-speed. First they considered making their own feed table but ended up purchasing the HakkiFeed 422. Jacques mentions that it is absolutely indispensable to keeping up with the speed this unit processes crooked and twisted logs into firewood. The HakkiFeed 422 log deck makes feeding logs to firewood processor an effortless process. The infeed rollers spin simultaneously with the firewood processor’s infeed conveyor belt and the log dispensers infeed only one log at a time. 

Congratulations to Jacques on winning Hakki Pilke product package! We wish you success in your operations and hope you continue to be a part of Hakki Pilke Team for years to come!

Hakki Pilke user of the month in February is Anders Wallberg from Sweden. He was our first Easy 43 (43 Pro) customer in Sweden and has done over 2.000 cubics of firewood with this unit.

Anders is a long-term Hakki Pilke customer since 1996 when he bought the well-known 2X firewood processor. During the years he has updated his machine many times, from 1X37 to 1X42 Green Speed. Anders thinks that the Easy 43 (43 Pro) has been definitely the best firewood processor to this day.

Anders has been really happy with the development of machines and praises especially the HakkiCutTM cutting control and the log landing plates. HakkiCutTM is an effortless, ergonomic and efficient user interface that enables sawing with a single press of a joystick but-ton. The log landing plates ensure that the log pieces are dropped into the splitting section in a controlled manner.

Congratulations to Anders on winning Hakki Pilke product package! We hope you continue to be a part of Team Hakki Pilke for the next 20 years also!

Hakki Pilke 50 Pro is the king of firewood processors; it is the most efficient industrial model on the market. 50 Pro continues a strong tradition. Its predecessors include Easy 50s and BigX47, both of which are some of the most popular professional machines in their category worldwide. Thanks to knowledgeable and active users, the new model is tailored to fulfil even the most demanding customer needs.    

50 Pro cuts and splits so efficiently that it can be described as a one-man firewood factory. The easy-to-use HakkiCut™ user interface streamlines cutting and improves working conditions.

“We truly value ergonomics. With the HakkiCut™, the user can easily control the machine with the two buttons on the joystick. This helps maintain good working position, with no compromises on efficiency,” says Development Manager Timo Jussila from Hakki Pilke.

HakkiCut™ automatically optimises cutting speed, and the cutting itself is performed by simply pushing a button. Thanks to the delay-free HakkiSplit™ cutting system, material flow remains smooth with peak productivity.

 

JOIN THE WINNING TEAM

Forstunternehmen Reith is a German company that produces firewood. Its owner Dietmar Reith had the opportunity to test the 50 Pro before anyone else.

“The excellent new measuring device combined with faster splitting compared to the previous model,” Reith says, when asked about the features of the new 50 Pro that make his work easier.   

Dietmar Reith has been a customer of Hakki Pilke for nearly twenty years. This means that he is one of the tens of thousands of users that are part of the winning team.

“To us, the Join the Winning Team slogan means that we are always there for our customers and partners. We ensure that business owners have the use of the most modern firewood processor in the business, while providing spare parts for old models,” says Managing Director Anssi Westerlund from Hakki Pilke.

Being local is also important. The fact that the salesperson understands the challenges associated with the climate and wood species in the area is crucial. The Hakki Pilke team is always local: the company has representatives in 34 countries around the world and they stick up for their own.

“Our importers are committed to our values and understand the importance of the team,” Westerlund says.

 

DURABLE, SAFE AND EFFICIENT

The product developers at Hakki Pilke focused on the durability of the machine. The number of mechanical wear parts has been minimised in the new model. The AC 10 chain tensioner and revamped hydraulics are examples of the multitude of changes that can double the service life of wear parts and make the machine even more efficient than before.

The need for maintenance has also been minimised: chain replacement can be performed without tools, and instead of several minutes, the task can be performed in roughly twenty seconds.

The new machine knows no bounds, but processes all types of wood regardless of its hardness or crookedness. No wonder, as Hakki Pilke has revolutionised the market with several innovations and firewood processors for three decades and counting.

“Development starts in the field. It is down to our team members, i.e. users, that the Hakki Pilke 50 Pro is the most versatile firewood processor on the market.”

All Hakki Pilke chainsaw equipped firewood processors are equipped with a standard cleaning outfeed conveyor that cleans most of the debris before it ends up in the firewood pile. Conveyors are pivoting for efficient filling of firewood sacks or truckloads. For industrial purposes, Hakki Pilke offers two firewood cleaning devices.

Hakki Pilke Roller is a stand-alone firewood cleaner to achieve the very best quality and debris free firewood. It is great for large quantities of firewood under the demand of daily use and can be used together with a front loader. Hakki Pilke Cleaner is a robustly built and height adjustable tumbler style cleaner equipped with a 10 feet integrated conveyor.
