Abstract: A device for cooling products (12) that include an adhesive material that is packaged in a non-adhesive envelope, includes at least one sloped pipe (13) into which flows a cooling liquid that can transport the products, at least one element (20) for evacuating at least a portion of the cooling liquid that is provided in the pipe (13) so as to split the pipe (13) into at least two segments (14, 16), an upstream segment (14) and a downstream segment (14, 16), and at least one element for supplying the downstream segment (16) with cooling liquid.

Abstract: The object of the invention is a device for conditioning a thermosetting product, especially a “non-tacky” thermosetting glue comprising an intake (16) of the product to be conditioned in the liquid or pasty state discharging into a tank (26) containing a cooling liquid, the product to be conditioned having a density that is less than or equal to the cooling liquid, characterized in that the intake (16) is located in the lower part of the tank, essentially in the central part, and has shapes allowing the product to be conditioned to be discharged in the form of a lump (32) in an essentially vertical direction upward.

Abstract: The wood splitting machine comprised of a rotating threaded cone, a longitudinal wedge disposed under the cone, and a table on top of which the log to be split is placed in front of the cone and wedge. The table top is rigid and the wedge is firmly fixed both to the rigid table top and to the bearing of the rotating shaft of the rotating threaded cone. The rigid top comprises a plywood plate whose upper side is covered with sheet metal. A speed reducer is provided between the drive motor and the rotating shaft of the threaded cone; the speed reducer is comprised of an intermediary pinion whose bearing is also fixed to the wedge. The upper profile of the wedge has the same shape as the generator of the rotating threaded cone up to a short distance from the point thereof.

Abstract: A log splitter has a rotatable cone driven by a reversible motor. A system of lever arms support a log in a V-shaped carrier positioned under the point of the cone. When the lever arm is operated, the log is pushed against the point of the rotating cone, which splits the log. If the log fails to split, the motor is driven in the reverse direction, which releases the log.
