Uncapping Roller with Plastic Spikes

The uncapping roller with plastic spikes is a tool designed to facilitate honey extraction in frames with difficult capping or highly viscous honeys, such as those from heather, biercol, and honeydew blooms. Due to their density, these honeys often resist extraction through conventional centrifugation, reducing efficiency in the honey house.

Thanks to its system of PP plastic spikes, this roller allows you to prick and perforate the wax cappings without completely removing them, enabling the honey to flow better during extraction without damaging the comb structure. It is particularly recommended for apiaries working with thick honeys, where traditional uncapping methods with knives or forks may not be sufficient.

Benefits and applications:

• Facilitates dense honey extraction: By perforating the cappings, it reduces resistance during centrifugation and improves honey flow.

• Time-saving: Its roller design speeds up the process compared to manual uncapping forks.

• Preserves comb structure: By not completely removing the cappings, it prevents excessive damage to the frames and allows for reuse.

• Versatility in the honey house: Can be used alongside other uncapping methods to optimize extraction efficiency.

If you work with thick honeys and need a solution that improves extraction without damaging the comb, this uncapping roller is an essential tool for your honey house.
