This manual uncapper is designed to offer efficiency and precision in the uncapping process, a key stage in honey extraction. Made entirely of stainless steel, this equipment guarantees durability and corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for beekeepers looking for a robust and long-lasting product.

Technical characteristics:

• Material : Stainless steel, easy to clean and maintain, especially suitable for working environments with honey.
• Electrically heated blade : The V-shaped blade is heated by a 12V electrical supply, which requires a 220V transformer. Unlike models that use steam, this system allows for more direct temperature control, ensuring a smooth and precise cut of the operculum without damaging the rest of the frame.
• Height-adjustable blade : This feature allows the cutting depth to be adapted, making it easier to adjust according to the type of operculum or the conditions of the honeycomb.
• Compatibility : Fits most 1000mm or 1500mm uncapping benches and buckets, and can also be mounted on drums. Compatible with half-rise or Langstroth frames, covering the main needs of beekeepers.
• Safety : It incorporates a hand protection system, minimizing the risk of accidents during use.

Instructions for use:

Using this uncapping machine is simple and intuitive. Once mounted on the uncapping bench and well anchored, you only need to slide the hive frame onto the frame. The heated blade will remove the cap quickly and evenly. This process is carried out on both sides of the frame, and the caps fall directly into the lower bucket for later recovery.

Benefits in beekeeping:

The task of uncapping, which consists of removing the layer of wax that bees place on the honey-filled cells, is an essential step before extraction by centrifugation. This equipment is designed to improve efficiency in this process, offering fast, safe and effortless uncapping. In addition, the possibility of adjusting the height of the blade allows beekeepers to adapt the cut to their needs, optimizing the capping performance.

For beekeepers looking for an economical and efficient solution compared to automatic or steam uncappers, this model offers a perfect balance between quality and affordability. Ideal for both hobby beekeepers and professionals with small to medium productions.
