Technical specifications:

• Capacity: 3 deep frames or 6 medium frames.
• Diameter: 525 mm.
• Material: Food-grade stainless steel AISI 304.
• Lids: Transparent polycarbonate for visual control of the extraction process.
• Honey Gate: Food-grade nylon 1½" (DN40) for an efficient honey flow.
• Extraction system: Tangential.
• Handle: Side-mounted with braking system for enhanced ergonomics and safety.

Tangential extraction system

The tangential extractor works by positioning the frames parallel to the walls of the drum, with one side of the comb exposed to centrifugal force at a time. This system is especially effective for extracting thick honey, as it generates high centrifugal force, extracting even the densest honey. Once one side of the comb is extracted, the frames must be manually turned to extract the other side, ensuring complete extraction without damaging the comb structure.

Ergonomics and ease of use

This model features a side-mounted handle, offering greater comfort for the beekeeper and avoiding the awkward positions required by top-mounted handles. The braking system allows you to stop the process by turning the handle in the opposite direction, providing greater control during extraction. With just 50 to 100 manual revolutions, this extractor achieves a quick and effective extraction, making it easy to use even for those new to beekeeping.

Durability and quality materials

Constructed from food-grade stainless steel AISI 304, this extractor is built to last for many years. The polycarbonate lids not only allow you to monitor the extraction process without opening the extractor but also improve safety during operation. The detachable stainless steel legs provide stability and allow a container to be placed under the honey gate to collect the extracted honey in an easy and orderly way.

Adaptable for future needs

While it is a manual extractor, its design allows for the addition of an electric motor in the future, making it a smart long-term investment. So, if you decide to increase your hive count or automate your extraction process, this equipment can adapt to your needs without having to buy a new extractor.

Usage tips:

• Uncap the frames before placing them in the extractor for optimal honey extraction.
• Start turning the handle at a low speed and gradually increase it to avoid damaging the comb.
• First extract one side of the comb, then rotate the frames to extract the other side.

Easy maintenance

Thanks to its stainless steel construction and polycarbonate lids, this extractor is easy to clean, simplifying maintenance between extractions. These materials also ensure corrosion resistance, even after years of heavy use.

Conclusion

The Quarti manual honey extractor is the perfect solution for beekeepers looking for reliable, versatile, and durable equipment. With a robust build and the possibility of future motorization, it is a smart investment for those seeking a product that will accompany them for years in their beekeeping journey.
