Strainer with basket for honey drums

The Seal Draining Sieve is an essential tool for beekeepers seeking efficiency and practicality in the uncapping process. Made from food-grade galvanized iron, this cylindrical sieve fits perfectly inside a 220-liter drum (with a capacity of 300 kg of honey), allowing for the accumulation of large amounts of cappings while optimizing honey filtration.

Technical Specifications:
• Dimensions: Height of 720 mm, diameter of 550 mm, and depth of 490 mm.
• Material: Perforated galvanized iron sheet with 1 mm thickness, D-8 perforation, legs and handles made of Ø8 rod.
• Design: Cylindrical basket that covers the entire interior of the drum, unlike other sieves that only cover the bottom. This allows for more comfortable use and greater accumulation of cappings.

Practical Application:
During the uncapping process, the cappings (the wax that seals the honeycomb cells) fall into the drum along with residual honey. This sieve acts as a filter inside the drum, allowing honey to flow to the bottom while retaining the cappings at the top. The beekeeper can collect the drained wax without needing additional equipment. Although using a cappings press can further optimize the process, this sieve already provides sufficient performance for most beekeepers.

Advantages:
• Efficient Filtration: It precisely separates honey from the cappings, ensuring that the honey obtained is free of wax particles.
• Larger Capacity: Its one-piece design allows for greater accumulation of cappings, enabling the handling of larger workloads without interruptions.
• Equipment Savings: An economical and effective alternative to larger uncapping systems, such as uncapping tables.
• Easy to Use: The handles allow for easy and safe placement and removal from the drum, without the need for additional tools.

Who is this for?
This sieve is ideal for both beginner beekeepers looking to simplify the uncapping process and professionals aiming to streamline their workflow. If you uncap directly over drums, this tool will help you speed up the process and obtain cleaner honey with minimal effort.

Tips:
For even greater efficiency, you can use it with a frame stand that attaches to the top of the drum. This setup will create a fully functional uncapping station, facilitating frame handling and optimizing your filtration process.

Conclusion:
The Seal Draining Sieve is a practical and robust solution that optimizes beekeeping tasks. If you're looking to maximize your performance and improve the quality of your honey production, this tool is an excellent investment in efficiency and simplicity.
