Customer comment

Spin dryers are the preferred alternative to the cappings screw press.

Cappings are the only product not to go through the normal extraction process so using a Cappings Spin Dryer will ensure you extract the maximum amount of honey possible from your cappings: 100kg of extracted honey should only leave 2 kg of dry cappings.  Very easy to use, you simply put it next to your uncapping tank or machine, open the lid and tip the honey loaded cappings into the basket, shut the lid, turn it on (the machine self-stabilises) and turn it off when the honey flow stops.

After a day of extraction, the honey house is clean and the wax is available to melt down later.

With the spin dryer the wax is not broken up into micro pieces saving you from needing extra filtration. This model is the ideal machine for enterprises of up to 100 hives.  It can take up to 10 kg of cappings.

Please Note:  Larger models are available.

The Hot wax pressure pot sprayer is ideal for applying beeswax to plastic foundation.  This machine is manufactured by Viseco in Germany.

The sprayer includes a heated pressure pot to hold 12 litres of beeswax, heated hose and heated spraygun.  This provides a way to evenly coat your foundation to your desired thickness with minimal overspray.

As wax becomes more valuable this sprayer will save over- coating your frames and will ultimately save you time and  money.  There is no need to clean the wax out after each use as wax can stay in the system and it will be re-melted when reusing.

This unit can also be automated if required.

The Hive World Duoline Hot Wax Sprayer from Viseco in Germany is a simple and efficient way to spray your own plastic frames with beeswax.  You will achieve an even coating of the quantity you desire with minimal overspray.

With beeswax becoming more valuable you not only save on the time taken to coat your foundation but will also save on wax used.  There is a great advantage in knowing where the wax came from that is used on your frames. Electronic controls enable you to regulate bowl and nozzle temperature. No need to clean out the gun on completion of job as the wax is re-melted each time it is turned on. All that is required is a supply of clean wax and a small air compressor.  It is recommended to set aside an area to do your spraying in to contain any overspray.

Hot wax spraying is useful with many other applications in which solvent-free media are to be liquefied -

• refining wooden surfaces on furniture and parquet finishing
• corrosion protection in metal spinning
• improving and designing candles and wax sculptures
• professional ski servicing
• impregnating packing materials

Advantages are improved surface refinement, simplicity of operation, gentle heating up of the material and small consumption of air pressure.

Paraffin wax dipper by Hiveworld NZ  The Paraffin wax dipping tank has been designed to make this essential but previously dangerous job safe and simple:

• No need to put your hands anywhere near the hot wax while working.
• The sides are insulated for efficient heating and for protection against accidental burns.
• There is a temperature gauge fitted so you can ensure the correct temperature is maintained and not exceeded.
• Fitted with an overflow pipe in case of boilover.

It has two lids with clamps to hold your boxes so while two are being dipped, the others can be draining and then painted while still hot to let the paint be absorbed into the timber.  (If the waxed box dries the paint won't stick).

With this model  one person can easily dip and paint up to 250 boxes a day. Customer comment -

I can leave my young worker dipping and painting by himself knowing he will not burn himself or the building down.

Included are two x 4-ring gas burners to heat the wax, however you will need to supply the gas bottles.

Please Note:  If you allow the dipper to cool off with the lids down you will need to warm the tank to melt the paraffin so you are able to raise the lids again as the wax will have solidified around them.

The Sublimox APF-Plus is an oxalic acid sublimator, otherwise known as an oxalic acid vaporiser.  This is the professional way to treat varroa with oxalic acid as it is so fast and easy to use.  In the past, oxalic treatment methods have been too tedious and time-consuming which has limited its viability for commercial operators.

The Sublimox APF-Plus overcomes this problem with a treatment time of 25 seconds per hive and easy replacement of caps with reliable temperature control to ensure constant readiness.  This means you can go through your apiary, treating the hives without interruption.

As varroa becomes more resistant to common treatments in current usage, more beekeepers are turning to proven organic treatments such as oxalic acid that don't lose their effectiveness over time.

This device is built to CE standards and has a 12 month warranty.  It has been tested and used by hundreds of beekeepers worldwide.

As the unit only draws 300 watts, it can be run off a small inverter (available from Repco or Supercheap) otherwise a small inverter generator can be used.  Comes with complete instructions for use.

Testimonial:  "Probably the best sublimator in the world ... in terms of speed, convenience and ease of use I'd argue that the Sublimox is hard to beat."  The Apiarist, U.K.

Testimonial:  "Used the Sublimox this weekend, so easy to use we should of got these years ago".  B.I.  NZ Beekeeper

Hive World's sturdy Manual Two Frame Extractor is perfect for the hobbyist who wants an efficient way to harvest their honey.

This model is manufactured in Stainless steel and comes complete with a nylon honey gate.

This new model has longer legs to drain into a 20 litre pail.

Hive World's Electric 4-frame extractor makes your extracting a breeze.  Ideal for hobbyists, this economical model costs little more than a manual model and will do your work with very little effort on your part.

The variable speed motor means you can start gently and gradually increase the speed to avoid damaging the foundation.   The tangential extraction method is especially suited to manuka honey as it empties the frames more efficiently.  By pricking your comb before extracting, you will be able to draw the honey out gently and use the comb more than once.

This model comes complete with honey gate for easy emptying.   As an added safety measure the lids have switches that cut out when opened.  All stainless steel construction means this extractor is hygienic and easy to clean.  The latest model has longer legs to enable a pail to be placed conveniently under the honey gate.  Comes with a spare coupling.
