Honey extractor

A honey extractor is a mechanical device used in the extraction of honey from honeycombs. A honey extractor extracts the honey from the honey comb without destroying the comb. Extractors work by centrifugal force. A drum or container holds a frame basket which spins, flinging the honey out. With this method the wax comb stays intact within the frame and can be reused by the bees.De Hruschka Extractor (first version)De Hruschka Extractor (second version)De Hruschka Extractor (final version)A twenty frame honey extractor in operationA twenty frame extractor loaded with four frames, turningManual extractorInside view of a manual extractorHoney being flung off a frame by centrifugal force inside an extractor during operationIndustrial extractor A honey extractor is a mechanical device used in the extraction of honey from honeycombs.
