Mellarius MaxiLine D52 electric 4 frame honey extractor without shaft

Tangential honey extractor for four frames with a 230V motor drive rated at 110 W. The basket width is 29 cm, making the extractor suitable for most frame sizes. The extractor is made from polished stainless steel sheets, certified for food contact. A top-of-the-line model with a conical bottom and many other innovative features. This extractor is fitted with a shaftless basket, allowing you to simply reverse the frames directly in the basket without the need to remove them.

About Mellarius MaxiLine Series Honey Extractors

The top-tier offering in our honey extractor range. The Mellarius MaxiLine Honey Extractor guarantees high quality and long service life. These extractors are manufactured from thicker stainless steel sheets (0.8 to 1 mm) and are equipped with heavy-duty legs that increase the stability of the extractor. Every Mellarius MaxiLine honey extractor features a sloped bottom, thanks to which honey flows comfortably toward the honey gate. There is no need to tilt or further manipulate the extractor. A wide range of manual and electric extractors is available in both tangential and radial configurations.

Modern Design

Mellarius MaxiLine series honey extractors feature a modern design with detachable legs. The drum of the extractor is made from food-grade stainless steel of sufficient thickness (0.8 to 1 mm) to prevent unwanted denting. The entire construction of the extractors is manufactured using plasma welding. The design emphasizes smooth surfaces that are easy to clean.

The extractor baskets are manufactured with a denser stainless steel wire mesh; as a result, the force on the comb during extraction is distributed over a larger area, preventing the wires from cutting into the beeswax comb. The baskets are made using round bars that are resistant to twisting. Round surfaces without sharp edges are also easier to clean.

The extractors are fitted with an innovative conical bottom, into which, at its lowest point, a welded-in stainless steel honey gate with a guillotine valve is recessed. This ensures that all honey drains completely from the extractor without any residue.

The leg system is also innovative – the legs are positioned and attached to the extractor to achieve maximum stability. The legs are made from heavy-duty material and their own weight contributes to stability during extraction. Thanks to a simple yet sturdy connection, the legs can be easily removed, making the entire extractor much more compact for storage until its next use.

Easy Disassembly

The drive system is always located in the upper part of the extractor, allowing for easy maintenance. Thanks to this design, the extractor basket rests freely at the bottom on a ball bearing. The drive is mounted on a clamping bar, which also holds wide hinges for the Plexiglas covers. The clamping bar with the drive is sufficiently robust, again made from polished stainless steel material for easy maintenance. After removing the upper bar with the drive, which is secured by two star knob screws, the entire drive can be easily taken off. Likewise, the entire basket can be easily removed from the extractor, allowing you to conveniently clean both the extractor and the basket separately.

Proven Drive with Variable Speed Control

MaxiLine series honey extractors are equipped with a reliable electric motor with a sufficient output of 110 W. These motors are fitted with their own fan for improved cooling. The motor includes a robust manual stepless speed control system. The transfer of motor power to the extractor basket is provided by a mechanical gearbox for an optimal range of extraction speeds.

The motor allows speed variation and thus reversal of the rotation direction of the entire basket, which increases comfort during extraction. Bees tend to build cells at a slight upward angle (4° to 5°) – so that the stored honey does not flow out, and additionally, honey stored this way provides a certain stability to the comb. For the beekeeper, this is a disadvantage because when a comb is placed in the extractor, the cells face one direction, and if this direction is against the direction of rotation, honey does not flow out well and some honey reserves may remain in the combs. Therefore, having an extractor with bidirectional extraction capability is an advantage.
