Cappings sieve for drums

During the uncapping process, the wax cappings fall into the drum along with the honey. This sieve is placed at the bottom of the drum, allowing the honey to flow to the bottom while the cappings are retained by the filter mesh. The cappings will be well-drained through natural filtration, but if you want to extract every last drop of honey and leave the cappings completely dry, you can also use a manual cappings press to finish the process. However, for most beekeepers, this sieve is sufficient to ensure a good yield without the need for additional equipment.

Technical Specifications:

• Diameter: 550 mm, compatible with standard honey drums.
• Height: 235 mm, designed to allow enough space for honey to accumulate at the bottom of the drum without interference from the cappings.
• Material: Food-grade galvanized steel, ensuring durability, resistance, and easy cleaning.
• Weight: 3.2 kg, providing stability inside the drum during the process.
• Side handles: Equipped with two ergonomic handles for easy and safe handling and removal from the drum.

Benefits for the Beekeeper:

• Efficient Filtration: The sieve allows honey to drain quickly and effectively, precisely separating the cappings. This improves the quality of the harvested honey, free of wax residues, and optimizes work time.
• Equipment Savings: Ideal for beekeepers seeking a more economical alternative to traditional uncapping tables. By combining this sieve with a drum and a frame support ladder, you get a complete uncapping system at a reduced cost.
• Ease of Use: The handles make handling comfortable and safe, allowing easy placement and removal from the drum without the need for additional tools.
