Zipper ZI-HS14TN 400V Three-Phase 3500W 14-Ton Vertical Electric Log Splitter with Log Lifter - Part Number: 930.ZI-HS14TN

The Zipper ZI-HS14TN vertical three-phase electric hydraulic log splitter (part number 930.ZI-HS14TN) is a heavy-duty, high-performance wood processing machine engineered for continuous, intensive processing of large firewood volumes across forestry, farm, estate, and commercial environments. Driven by a powerful 3500-watt (S6 40%) 400 V three-phase electric motor with IP54 protection class and an advanced 24.6 MPa hydraulic system with a 7.5-liter oil reservoir, it generates an uncompromising continuous splitting thrust of 14 tons (±10%). Featuring an impressive 850 mm cylinder stroke with stepless travel adjustment, it effortlessly handles logs from 560 to 1040 mm in length (meter-wood) and diameters between 100 and 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 top-tier industrial performance and reliability.

Key Features & Engineering Benefits

• Continuous 14-Ton Hydraulic Splitting Force (24.6 MPa): High-pressure closed hydraulic circuit easily shears through knotty, seasoned, dry, dense, and resinous hardwoods (such as oak, beech, ash, robinia, and olive) without stalling.
• Industrial 400V Three-Phase Motor (IP54): Heavy-duty 3500 W electric drive engineered for prolonged splitting shifts under high mechanical resistance, 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 lengths from 560 to 1040 mm and diameters up to 300 mm without requiring step wedges or spacers.
• Dual Forward Speed Transmission: High-speed approach stroke of 21.8 cm/s closes distance rapidly, while the 4.2 cm/s power stroke delivers maximum hydraulic force through tough knots.
• 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 strain.
• Stepless Stroke Travel Adjustment: Return stop mechanism allows continuous adjustment of cylinder stroke to match shorter firewood blocks, eliminating idle return times and speeding up cycle 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 (185 kg): Rigid welded steel chassis provides rock-solid floor 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 185 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.
