Honey extractor with container Mellarius OptiLine 3/9 r. with 230V electric drive P52

Tangential honey extractor for three frames (or radial for nine frames) with electric drive, with its own container and strainer. The extractor is firmly connected to the container using clamps. Between the extractor and the container is a large strainer with a diameter of 52 cm. The basket width is 32 cm, so the extractor is suitable for most frames. The advantage of this solution is the integrated strainer and container, where in one device you get everything needed for extracting, straining, and collecting honey.

About Mellarius OptiLine honey extractors

Mellarius OptiLine honey extractors offer a full-featured honey extractor in high-quality design at a favorable price. These extractors are made from thicker stainless steel sheets (0.8 to 1 mm). A wide range of manual and electric extractors in tangential or radial variants.

Modern construction

Mellarius OptiLine series extractors have a modern construction, with removable legs. The extractor drum is made of food-grade stainless steel of sufficient thickness (0.8 to 1 mm), so that unwanted dents cannot easily occur. The entire construction of the extractors is manufactured using plasma welding. The design emphasizes smooth surfaces that can be easily cleaned.

The extractor baskets are made with a denser network of stainless steel wires, which distributes the force on the honeycomb during extraction over a larger area, preventing the wires from cutting into the comb. Round bars resistant to twisting are used to manufacture the baskets. Round surfaces without sharp edges are also easier to clean.

Easy disassembly

The drive system is always located in the upper part of the extractor, which provides easy maintenance. Thanks to this solution, the extractor basket in the lower part is freely placed on a ball bearing. The drive is located on a mounting rail, which also has wide hinges for plexiglass covers. The mounting rail with the drive is sufficiently massive, again made of polished stainless material, for easy maintenance. After removing the upper rail with the drive, which is attached with two star screws, the entire drive can be easily removed. Just as easily, you can remove the entire basket from the extractor and can easily clean the whole extractor and basket separately.

Proven drive with adjustable speed

Maxima series extractors are equipped with a reliable electric motor with sufficient power of 110 W. These motors are equipped with their own fan for better cooling. The motor includes a robust manual system for continuous speed regulation. The transfer of motor power to the extractor basket is ensured by a mechanical gearbox for an optimal range of extraction speeds.

The motor allows for speed changes and thus changing the direction of rotation of the entire basket, which increases comfort during extraction. Bees tend to build cells at a slight upward slope (4° to 5°) - so that the stored honey does not flow out, and additionally, honey stored this way ensures certain stability of the comb. For beekeepers, this has a disadvantage because when the honeycomb is placed in the extractor, the cells point in one direction, and if this direction is against the direction of rotation, then the honey flows out poorly and some honey reserves may remain in the combs. Therefore, it is advantageous to have an extractor with the possibility of bidirectional extraction.
