Instructions for use of the honey
extractor
2.1 General rules for preparing of the
honey extractor for work
1.
Set the honey extractor in the designated place,
kept in a proper cleanliness.
2. Keep available space around the honey
extractor for better service.
3. Provide easy access to the voltage source.
4. If necessary, level the honey extractor to avoid
problems during centrifugation.
5. Follow the rules for using the honey extractor.
2.2 Usage principles
1
.
The honey extractor is intended for centrifuging
honey out of frames.
2. Before using for the first time and after completing
the honey extractor, the honey extractor should be
washed according to the instructions in the section
"Maintenance and cleaning of the honey extractor".
3.
Before starting the honey extractor operation:
–
insert the plug into the socket, and on the
control box switch the on button (11) from "0"
to "1"
–
using the UP-DOWN button (13), tilt the
honey extractor to facilitate work
–
we lock the basket with the latch (5) (down)
so that it does not twist when placing the
frames (repeat the action four times)
–
we put the previously prepared frames in the
honey extractor basket, paying special
attention to their proper arrangement. Errors
in the arrangement of the frames may cause
damage that is not covered by the warranty.
–
using the UP-DOWN button (13) set the
honey extractor drum to the vertical position
–
close the honey extractor cover (1), set the
latch (5) to the unlocked position (up) and
start spinning
4. The first centrifuging phase should be slow on both
sides of the frame to prevent any possible breakage
of the honeycombs. Particular attention should be
paid to the so-called "young frames".
5. The speed control is set by the potentiometer (12).
6. The aim of the second phase is complete
centrifugation of the frames.
7. The spinning basket should not be blocked by
honey in the drum, and if this happens, stop the
honey extractor to prevent damage. After honey has
drained into the container, you can resume spinning.
8
.
Place a honey container under the drain valve.
9.
When spinning, the drain valve should be open so
that the centrifuged honey can flow out.
Attention!!! Frames can be moved
only when the honey basket
is completely stopped!
3. Description of the honey extractor
Tangential 4-frame honey extractor is dedicated to
people with leg disabilities. It is used in small apiaries
as well as by hobbyist beekeepers. It is distinguished
by compact dimensions. Its design solutions allow for
easy operation and use even when centrifuging the
most dense honey. The cone-shaped bottom of the
honey extractor allows free flow of honey down. The
drum tilting system using an electric actuator allows
you to easily pull out and rotate the frames. In order
to immobilize the basket when inserting and rotating
the frames, a blockade has been designed that
prevents the basket from rotating freely and possible
injury to the user.
