Zipper ZI-HS12TN 400V Three-Phase 3300W 12-Ton Vertical Electric Log Splitter with Log Lifter - Part Number: 930.ZI-HS12TN

The Zipper ZI-HS12TN vertical three-phase electric hydraulic log splitter (part number 930.ZI-HS12TN) is a heavy-duty, high-performance firewood processing machine engineered for continuous, intensive processing of large firewood volumes across agricultural, forestry, and estate environments. Driven by a powerful 3300-watt (S6 40%) 400 V three-phase electric motor with IP54 protection class and a large 7-liter hydraulic oil reservoir, it generates an uncompromising continuous splitting thrust of 12 tons. Featuring an impressive 850 mm cylinder stroke with stepless travel adjustment, it effortlessly handles logs up to 1040 mm in length (meter-wood) and diameters from 100 to 300 mm. Equipped with an integrated mechanical log lifter, dual forward splitting speeds (slow power and fast approach), an integrated phase inverter switch plug, and advanced safety controls compliant with European standard EN 609-1:2017, it delivers superior industrial productivity and safety.

Key Features & Engineering Benefits

• Continuous 12-Ton Hydraulic Splitting Power: High-pressure hydraulic system easily shears through knotty, seasoned, dry, and dense fibrous hardwoods (such as oak, beech, ash, and olive) without power drops.
• Heavy-Duty 400V Three-Phase Motor (IP54): Industrial 3300 W electric drive engineered for prolonged splitting shifts under heavy load, fitted with a built-in phase inverter plug for immediate rotation correction.
• Meter-Wood Splitting Range (up to 1040 mm): Long 850 mm hydraulic cylinder stroke accommodates timber up to 1040 mm in length and 100 to 300 mm in diameter without requiring table spacers or step wedges.
• Dual Forward Speed Transmission: High-speed approach stroke of 23.2 cm/s closes distance rapidly, while the 4.2 cm/s power stroke delivers maximum hydraulic force through tough knots, paired with a 5.2 cm/s return travel.
• Integrated Mechanical Log Lifter: Linkage-driven side hoist automatically lifts heavy logs from ground level upright onto the splitting plate, eliminating strenuous manual lifting and back fatigue.
• Stepless Stroke Travel Adjustment: Return stop mechanism allows continuous adjustment of the cylinder stroke to match shorter firewood blocks, eliminating idle return times and speeding up output.
• Strict Safety Compliance (EN 609-1:2017): Two-hand synchronized control levers with side log clamping arms securely grip timber to prevent displacement while keeping hands outside the danger zone.
• Torsion-Resistant Heavy Steel Frame (178 kg): Rigid welded steel chassis provides solid ground stability under maximum tonnage, equipped with steering handles and transport wheels for easy yard mobility.

Technical Specifications

Standard Equipment & Safety Features

Equipment Feature	Operational Benefit
Mechanical Log Hoist Assembly	Lifts heavy timber sections up to Ø 300 mm from the floor directly onto the baseplate without manual strain
Mains Plug with Phase Inverter	Enables swift phase switching directly on the socket with a screwdriver to ensure correct motor rotation
Two-Hand Safety Levers with Log Clamps	Synchronized levers securely hold logs upright while keeping hands safely outside the moving ram path
Integrated Wheel Carriage and Handles	Allows safe tilt-and-roll positioning of the 178 kg machine across level workshop and yard floors

Operating Guidelines, 400V Three-Phase Connection & Maintenance:

• 400V Three-Phase Electrical Connection: Requires a standard 400 V three-phase industrial CEE socket (3P+N+E). Upon initial startup, confirm that the motor rotation direction matches the indicator arrow; if running backwards, invert two phases using the integrated phase switch on the plug.
• Hydraulic Reservoir Bleeder Screw: Always loosen the hydraulic reservoir breather screw by several turns before starting work to permit proper venting and prevent internal seal blowouts; retighten it securely before transporting or tilting the unit.
• Stability & Mandatory PPE: Operate solely on a flat, solid, and clutter-free surface. Wearing certified personal protective equipment is mandatory: steel-toed safety boots, heavy cut-resistant gloves, and protective goggles or a full face shield.
