Скачать или смотреть Bee Keeping: extracting honey

A few things I forgot to mention in the video:
Each of those honey boxes weighs between 50-80lbs.
Almost all of the equipment you saw us use is driven by air. The machine I used to pick up the boxes from the pallet, the foot pedal to push the frames out of the box, and the arm that pushes the full frames into the extractor and the mechanism that lifts the hood of the extractor are all run by air.
The heat exchanger is necessary because if the honey is too cold the wax won't separate properly when it goes into the spinner and over time can lead to a lot of lost honey.
The spinner throws out nearly 100% pure honey and the wax falls out the bottom once the knives cut it and we shovel the wax into a barrel.
We only fill the 10,000 liter tank when we extract, which is not every day.
Our operation will produce around 100,000 pounds of honey this year.
