Brennholz Steinle — 8 Years with the C1000, and the Pace Only Picks Up

Location & background: Based in southern Germany, Brennholz Steinle has built its professional firewood business on oak and beech. With over 25 years of experience with Palax firewood processors, the cornerstone of their production for the past 8 years has been the Palax C1000 – a machine that has done its job day after day without showing any signs of fatigue.Why the C1000?

Steinle needed a solution that combines speed, quality, and durability for dense hardwoods. The C1000’s top-mounted carbide circular blade cuts to exact length and improves sawdust removal for faster throughput and a cleaner work area. 16 tons of splitting force ensure oak opens cleanly and consistently. Automatic Palax Optimi which automatically adjusts the splitting length according to the cutting length, and optional upgrades — like X-Aim (automatic splitting blade height) and Pro+ PowerSpeed — which automatically detects the required splitting force and speed, accelerating the work cycle by up to 30%. Power Speed combined with Palax Optimi ensures rapid splitting.

Results in practice

The C1000 has produced thousands upon thousands of cubic meters of premium firewood — especially oak and beech — for both local markets and professional kitchens. Quality stays consistent, downtime stays low, and maintenance has been predictable.

“When a machine is your livelihood, it must just work. Our C1000 has done exactly that — still running strong year after year.”
— Brennholz Steinle

“Oak and beech demand both power and precision. The C1000 delivers both — and the quality is the same, cubic meter after cubic meter.”
— Brennholz Steinle

Safety, usability & support

Comprehensive safety guards and protections support safe work at high pace. Ergonomic controls reduce operator fatigue over long shifts. Fast access to parts and service keeps total costs predictable and the line running.

In summary

The C1000 is a professional cornerstone: durable, fast and built to deliver uniform, high-quality firewood — with no signs of fatigue from the machine or the crew.
