Product Description

Balfor Circular Saw | Models SHARK 700 EXPERT Series | Blade Diameter 11.81" | 25 To 40 HP | For Tractor

DESCRIPTION

The Balfor SHARK 700 EXPERT Series is a professional high-performance log cutting and processing system designed for industrial firewood production, forestry operations, and agricultural wood processing. The series includes four advanced configurations: SHARK 700 C EXPERT (PTO tractor-driven), SHARK 700 C EXPERT Direct Drive, SHARK 700 ET EXPERT (380V electric), and SHARK 700 C EXPERT PRO.

Each model is built around a powerful 27.56-inch (700 mm) WIDIA carbide saw blade, delivering fast, accurate cutting performance with a maximum log cutting capacity of approximately 11.8 inches. The system integrates a high-efficiency 15.75-inch (40 cm) wide conveyor belt with an extendable 196.85-inch (5-meter) hydraulic discharge system, ensuring smooth and continuous material flow.

Engineered for professional use, the SHARK 700 EXPERT operates within a 25–40 HP power range (or equivalent electric/gas output), ensuring strong torque and consistent cutting efficiency. Reinforced metal paddles, roller-fed log handling, and hydraulic extension systems improve productivity while reducing manual handling.

Key Features

• 27.56" Industrial Saw Blade The SHARK 700 EXPERT Series features a heavy-duty 27.56-inch WIDIA carbide cutting blade designed for precision and durability. This large industrial blade ensures fast, clean cuts through hardwood and softwood logs, maintaining high efficiency during continuous production cycles while minimizing wear and maximizing long-term cutting performance.
• 11.8" Maximum Cutting Capacity With a maximum cutting diameter of approximately 11.8 inches, this system is optimized for professional firewood production. It delivers consistent, controlled cuts that improve processing speed and reduce material waste, making it ideal for forestry operators and commercial wood processing businesses.
• 196.85" Hydraulic Conveyor System The integrated conveyor extends up to 196.85 inches (5 meters) using a hydraulic extension system. This allows efficient unloading and stacking of processed logs, significantly reducing manual labor while increasing output speed and improving workflow efficiency on large-scale operations.
• 15.75" Wide Heavy Conveyor Belt The system includes a robust 15.75-inch (40 cm) wide conveyor belt designed for high-capacity material handling. Reinforced with industrial-grade materials and metal paddles, it ensures smooth log transport, reduces jams, and maintains stable performance under continuous heavy-duty workloads.
• 25–40 HP Power Compatibility Designed for optimal performance within a 25–40 HP range, the SHARK 700 EXPERT Series ensures balanced power consumption and high torque efficiency. This compatibility makes it suitable for tractors, industrial setups, and mobile firewood production systems.
• Multi-Drive System Options The series offers four drive configurations: PTO tractor, direct drive, 380V electric motor. This flexibility allows operators to select the most efficient and practical power source based on job site requirements and mobility needs.
• Direct Drive Efficiency Design The direct drive model reduces mechanical loss by eliminating intermediate transmission components. This results in improved energy efficiency, lower maintenance requirements, and smoother power transfer for consistent high-performance operation.
• Electric 380V Industrial Model The ET EXPERT version runs on a 380V electric system (approx. 5.5 kW equivalent), delivering stable, low-noise, and emission-free operation. It is ideal for stationary industrial environments requiring continuous and reliable log processing.
• Heavy-Duty Roller Feeding System Equipped with industrial-grade rollers, the feeding system ensures smooth and controlled log movement into the cutting zone. This reduces operator strain, increases safety, and improves cutting accuracy during high-speed production.
• Reinforced Metal Paddle Conveyor The conveyor includes heavy-duty metal paddles that enhance grip and durability. These components are engineered to withstand constant impact, heavy loads, and abrasive wood materials without deformation or performance loss.
• 16-Ton Hydraulic Splitting Option The optional PRO system includes a powerful 16-ton hydraulic log splitter with interchangeable 2/4-way and 6-way wedges. It supports logs up to 21.65 inches (55 cm), enabling full-cycle processing from cutting to splitting in one machine.
• Compact Transport Design Despite its industrial capacity, the system features a foldable conveyor and compact frame structure. With transport dimensions of approximately 92.52" × 47.24" × 47.24", it is easy to move between job sites while maintaining full operational capability.
• Advanced Safety Control System The machine includes dual-hand safety controls and emergency stop systems, ensuring controlled operation during cutting cycles. These features enhance operator protection and reduce risk during continuous industrial use.
