About Mellarius MiniLine honey extractors

Mellarius MiniLine honey extractors offer a simple extractor in high-quality stainless steel design at a favorable price. They are made from polished stainless steel sheets that are designed for food contact. The extractor can be equipped with a plastic or stainless steel discharge tap upon request.

Modern construction

Mellarius MiniLine series extractors have a modern design, with removable legs. The simple ergonomic handle allows for quick spinning of the extractor basket. The drum of the extractor 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 are easy to clean.

The extractor baskets are manufactured 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 honeycomb. Circular rods resistant to twisting are used to make the baskets. Circular 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 the possibility of easy maintenance. Thanks to this solution, the extractor basket is freely placed on a ball bearing in the lower part. The drive is located on a mounting strip, which also has wide hinges for plexiglass covers. The mounting strip with the drive is sufficiently massive, again made of polished stainless steel material, for easy maintenance. After removing the upper strip with the drive, which is attached by 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 entire extractor and basket separately.

Simple manual drive

The simple manual drive assembly with an ergonomic handle ensures quick spinning of the extractor basket. The construction with two gears in the assembly has an ideal gear ratio, so that the extractor can be easily spun. Thanks to this simple design, the entire extractor drive is very reliable without the need for major maintenance.
