SPRING SPECIAL - £79.85

LIMITED NUMBER AT THIS PRICE - WHEN THEY'RE GONE THEY'RE GONE!!

A Plastic Honey Extractor with Lid and Honey Gate.

Approximate Dimensions: 64cm High x 40cm dia (at top)

It can take two super frames of any size or British National deep brood or Langstroth Frames.

Not 14x12"

This is a tangential honey extractor and it is best to turn the handle gently and spin out halve of the honey from one side of the frame then stop and turn the frames around to spin out all the honey from the other side. Then stop again to turn the frames around again to spin out the remainder of the honey from the first side.

Simply warm up the supers to about 40 deg C to make sure the honey can be spun out easily. Remove the wax cappings with a knife or uncapping fork, available separately. Place into the extractor in the cages and spin out the honey by turning the handle. Make sure the honey gate is closed !

Open the gate to poor the honey into honey buckets ready for filtering.

cheap and cheerful, but works for a low volume setup.

We are hobby beekeepers and stick to just 2 hives, so difficult to justify the cost of an extractor. Borrowed extractors before but always a pain as everyone wants to use at the same time and hassle collecting and returning.
This was great, not perfect, but worked fine to extract our early harvest super. The cage gearing is a bit low so not easy to get a high spin speed, but spun out our 12kgs just fine. Other gripe is that removing the cage to do a through clean is very fiddly, requiring 4 bolts to be removed. But as it's a plastic bucket there is no seam at the bottom so easy to clean and nowhere for wax to get trapped. No idea how long the plastic gears will last, but sure I could find replacements online if necessary.
For the money, just what we wanted, no more tracking down club equipment, waiting for it to become free, finding it needs a proper clean before it can be used etc.
