and yes, this equipment is expensive, but worthwhile in the long run.Įven if one used 2 good serrated long butcher knives and a cake pan kept refreshed of hot water to keep the knives hot, uncapping frames is easy. seems a shame to me to burn these off with a heat gun, just my very humble opinion. if you don't want the capping's you can sell them to another keep. the wax cappings are an added plus to your adventure, rather than burning them off with a heat gun. the heated equipment are good investments. you will be happy in a few years you made this decision.Īs far as uncapping, don't chince on this either.not sure why you were fretting this joel or why you think this is messy halley? keeping bees and harvesting honey is messy businesss.:lol: piece of cake with any heated knife, or an uncapping plane, lot of work with a cappings scratcher and draining, not worth the trouble.i use a maxant uncapping plane, slick, fast. buy quality and my advice is, if you buy a hand crank, buy one you can upgrade to a motorized unit in the future if you so desire. I am not going to be windy, lots of good advice.ĭon't chince on your extractor.in a few years you will appreciate this.

The handle crank is not a biggy unless you find yourself doing more than you had planned (it has been known to happen) :wink: In fact, for storage purposes the top crank would take up less space and be easier to move around. Given the number of hives you are talking about, any of these would be good. Maxant has another comparable for $299 (shipping not included) and has the annoying crank as well. At $311 it is comparable but shipping is not included. The Mann Lake one is good for the price although I'm not thrilled with the way the frames are cranked (I have a Maxant 2 frame that cranks the same and your elbows can get sore).ĭadant has a 2 frame that is probably sturdier and has the crank the way I would want. Flattened lower tips on the legs increase the sturdiness of the extractor. The drum on the extractor has a diameter of 19.7 inches. It has a height of 46.5 inches from the top of the electric motor to the tips of its legs. I ended up giving it to the person who broke it (it was an accident).
