New Extractor - Ideas Please

[Haughton Honey]

Folks

I'm looking at 'investing' in a new extractor in the next few weeks and I need something which is motorised and that can handle spinning something between 4 and 8 DN5 frames at a time...ideally a few more.

Any suggestions?

Happy to order from a reputable company abroad if necessary.

Thanks

I bought my extractor from maisemores in their sale. It will take normal super frames along with brood frames hope it helps as I dont know what the difference is in size to the frames you are using. I bought the 9 frame electric. It is a dream to use.

Reply from another thread: 1) spring time blue woodland flower 2) land with an upward slope all round 3) where they keep bees.

Were they no good? I reckon the 20 framer should be about the size drum you are looking for, but for DN5's that would mean at least a new cage.... Expensive!!!

3 frames tangentially is not difficult to source but you are looking for a radial machine, obviously. I am wondering how deeps stand up to extracting in a radial. There is likely a Langstroth commercial machine available from the Continental or US suppliers?

Surely you need a full commercial machine, Thomas Apiculture comes very highly recommended but expensive.

Nice 20 frame model, but way beyond my pocket or accommodation I'm afraid.

 

[drstitson]

have you looked into the Giordan ones???? mons. abeille has one that Rab and I have taken a look at.

The particular model we have seen will only extract deeps in tangential mode. WPC would want to extract much more quickly than that, I think.

I've got a Thomas EuroMel 24 frame extractor. Its built like a tank, with a heavy duty stainless steel barrel. Should last for ages (it has a 3phase motor and inverter). The nice thing about it is it will extract just about everything (including I think 14*12's)...

There is a radial extractor made in Bulgaria. Accommodates 24 langstroth frames (or 12 deep MD and 12 shallow MD frames). It is very simplistic made( i bet you haven't seen such primitive device), but it is very cheap and effective. It costs around 500 euro with the delivery within Bulgaria.

Like Monsieur Abeille I have one from Agri Nova. More than pleased. I believe they will make cages to your individual requirements. Clive at Agri Nova is very good. I cannot fault his service

Drex - I think the cages they make up are the two tangentals, and the main radial is limited to SNs - not really suitable for WPC's needs. Quite possibly do something bigger though, I dont have the catalogue to check.
