Bob nice detailed walk around on both cleaners.

Great video. I've learned a lot about the importance of clean firewood from you and Joe @ OWB, things I had never really thought about.

Here's am idea for a video. Which processor is right for you with volume and type of firewood product being the main factors. Another topic would be when to upgrade to a firewood processor from a splitter for most of your firewood with sqles volume in mind. Sort of a "things to think about/consider" video before deciding to upgrade to a processor.

I like it. Let’s see what we can come up with.

Good stuff Bob. I've heard the disc style cleaners are a little more reliable than the barrel style. Have you noticed any difference?

[@MetsaMachines]

We haven’t had any complaints on the barrel tumbler. The barrel cleaner needs to have the belt tensioned once in a while. The disc cleaner is a bit more versatile. Maintenance is pretty low but it does have a whole host of grease fittings as there are pillow block bearings on the ends of each tine shaft.

@@MetsaMachines Thanks Bob, informative as always!

Could you let me know in which specific cases should drum style be used, and in which cases should disc style be employed? Of the two types, which one has a higher capacity? and My firewood product has dimensions of 30x40x80mm. Which type should I use?

[@MetsaMachines]

Most often when customers are choosing between the disc or barrel cleaner it comes down to personal preference, as well as how they plan on loading the cleaner. The barrel cleaner should be used with a conveyor, as the opening where you feed the wood is not large enough for a grapple. The disc cleaner has the hopper style design so you can load more into it at a time from the top. The Disc Cleaner is a bit more aggressive with how it jostles the firewood, but the barrel cleaner is more affordable, so there are pros and cons to each.

Are you guys coming to the Paul Bunyan show?

[@MetsaMachines]

Yes, we will be there.

[@travisg5417]

Which one do you feel cleans better?

[@MetsaMachines]

We are partial to the disc cleaner. By adjusting the angle of the chamber and increasing the tine speed, the wood spends a lot more time in it and the tines are more aggressive with dislodging bark and debris.
