Twister Firewood Wrapper

Instead of string-tying or bagging, the Twister Firewood Wrapper stretch-wraps bundles of firewood. Handling logs 12 to 24 inches long, the machine can produce either rounds bundles (measuring 10 to 18 inches in diameter) or square bundles (measuring 3/4 to 1 1/2 cubic feet) at a rate of 45 bundles per hour. Available in various-size models, the Twister has the following features: (1) powered by a 115-volt, 1/4-horsepower gear motor drive, upgradeable to 1/2 horse; (2) converts from one bundle size to another by changing gauge and basket rings; (3) portable, being mounted on a frame with 8-inch wheels; and (4) height-adjustable, to minimize operator bending. It can be used in remote areas with generator power or gas powered models are also available.
