Since 1990, Brennholz Steinle has built its name on one promise: customers get clean, even-sized premium firewood—every time. That long run of consistency reached a new level two years ago, when the company commissioned the X Firewood Factory, a one-person, semi-automatic industrial line designed specifically for heavy logs and uninterrupted output. The result? “Two seasons of flawless production,” says the owner. “Same look, same burn, same customer satisfaction—day in, day out.”
Why the X Firewood Factory?
For Steinle, the machine solved two strategic problems at once: throughput and uniformity. The line handles up to 90 cm (36″) diameter logs and is engineered for continuous, industrial material flow—ideal for Central European log sizes. The configuration combines the Feed 900 log table, S90 saw, X90 vertical splitter, and an XL outfeed conveyor with an integrated cleaning system to remove fines before packaging. Together, these elements deliver high volume with minimal handling and a reliable, repeatable end product.
Quality as a competitive advantage
Steinle’s business isn’t just selling wood—it’s selling predictability. Consistent firewood length and geometry pack denser, stack safer, dry faster, and palletize cleaner, reducing transport damage and claims while lifting perceived value at retail. The vertical splitting of the X90 and the built-in cleaning on the XL conveyor translate to visually clean, even firewood that customers recognize and return for. That uniformity underpins premium pricing and repeat orders—especially in larger B2B contracts where “every pallet must match.”
Throughput you can plan on
In daily operations, predictability extends to shift planning. With 8 cm target piece size, the X Firewood Factory can produce up to 100 m³ of solid wood with 33 cm lenght in a single 8-hour shift—the kind of steady output that keeps delivery promises and slots smoothly into Steinle’s logistics. And because the system is semi-automatic and one-person operable, labor scheduling is simpler and training is faster.
“Our customers don’t buy heaps of wood; they buy trust. The X Firewood Factory gives us the same, premium result—pallet after pallet.” — Owner, Brennholz Steinle. After two seasons, Brennholz Steinle sums it up simply: premium quality at scale, with less rework, cleaner pallets, and stronger margins. That’s how you turn consistency into a brand.
