A firewood compacting and strapping machine is manufactured by Carolson Stapler and Shippers Supply, Omaha, and FMC Industrial Packaging Division, Philadelphia. A hydraulic compactor applies 20,000 lbs of compressive force to each bundle of split logs, reducing each package to a diameter of about 12 inches. A polypropylene band is applied and heat sealed around each bundle. Bundles are stacked on end, twenty-four to a pallet, and the entire load is banded with one horizontal strap.
