Tree Care Inc. has served Louisville for more than 20 years, and their offerings got even better in the last year and a half with the addition of the TB 900 Pezzolato Firewood Processor. The state of the art wood processor is completely computerized and made its way to Louisville via Turin, Italy.
The machine is one of a kind in the United States that has no competition, says Tree Care Owner Ed Hager, who has more than 30 years of experience in the industry. It is a very efficient wood processor, perfect for mass volumes of firewood.
Hager traveled to Turin to meet with the owner of the factory, which sits below the Alps in Italy, twice before making the decision to purchase the machine, a $600,000 investment. The machine had to be shipped over in containers and needed several cranes to assemble when it arrived in Louisville nearly two years ago. An engineer from the plant in Turin came to Louisville for a week to help with assembly and make sure the machine was in perfect operating order.
It has taken the last 18 months to get everything running smoothly like it is now, Hager says. There was a lot of trial and error.
During the wood splitting process, the operator places a whole log on the conveyor belt, then programs the computer to cut the log to precise specifications. Electric motors inside the machine cut the log like butter. The speed dictates the size of the sections of wood to be cut, that are dumped out the end and into a truck, ready for distribution.
Hager and his team had to get fully trained on the workings of the TB 900, and it took a while to work out the kinks.
The investment of both time and money seems to be worth it, though, as Tree Care Inc. is the leading firewood provider for Jefferson County.
Hager and his team aim to provide quality work at reasonable pricing with premium results across all of their projects.
Were family owned and oriented, and some of my employees have been with me since the beginning, Hager says. We treat our customers like family, too. New and old customers have told us how friendly and laid back we are to work with.
