Uncapping bench 1m

Uncapping is a key step in the honey extraction process, where the wax cappings, the thin layer of wax that bees use to seal the honey cells, are removed. For beekeepers, having the right equipment for this task is crucial to ensure a clean and efficient workflow.

An uncapping tank is a tool specifically designed to facilitate the removal of these wax cappings from the hive frames. This type of tank allows you to work more comfortably and collect both wax and honey during the process, preventing waste and keeping the workspace clean and organized.

Uses and benefits of the uncapping tank

The uncapping tank not only makes manual uncapping easier but also ensures that every drop of honey is recovered during the process. This equipment efficiently drains the cappings, separating wax from honey, which increases productivity and reduces waste. Additionally, its stainless steel design guarantees optimal hygiene, which is essential when handling food products like honey.
