firewood processing centre
Explanation:
The purpose seems to be the production of firewood.

The machines cut felled timber to suitable lengths and split it into firewood - Scheitholz

Mobile/motorized timber processor/ processing machine


Explanation:
We use the very unique Cord King timber processing machine that cuts all sizes of logs into manageable cuts of firewood.

To just call it a splitting centre doesn't seem to do it justice, as the timber is first sawn into lengths. Similarly firewood. Having said which, since it is presumably fairly unique, you can basically use any applicable term. Even mobile saw mill!
