Premium Standard cassette honey extractor.

Professional equipment for demanding beekeepers

Where expectations for the equipment are the highest, a cassette honey extractor is the best choice. It combines advantages of radial and diagonal honey extractors. Frames once inserted into the drum do not need to be changed, and their spinning in the direction parallel to the side of the device makes the cells completely empty after a few minutes.

Who is a cassette honey extractor the best choice for?

It is justified to say that for almost everyone. It is a very professional device, for many reasons the best of the commonly used variants. Extraction of honey from the combs takes place in three stages. After loading the basket and starting the device, the frames are spun in one direction. The basket mechanism makes the cassettes position themselves parallel to the wall of the honey extractor because of centrifugal force. Such position allows faster cell emptying. However, the honey collected on the other side is pressed against the comb, so in order to prevent the wax from breaking, only a part of its content is centrifuged from the first side. The basket then automatically changes its direction of movement. This causes the cassettes to turn  at 180°. And in a second step, the honey on the other side of the same combs is spun off, this time until all cells are completely empty. The third stage is to return to the original direction of the basket movement in order to completely empty the honey from the combs.

Construction

Constructing only with stainless steel confirms that Konigin honey extractors are highest quality devices. All honey extractors, regardless of their size, are made the same way, using the highest quality stainless steel elements.

Automatic control

Each cassette honey extractor from the Konigin portfolio is equipped with an automatic control. Thanks to it the centrifugation is conducted without needed attention and participation of the beekeeper, but only according to a 3, 5, 7 or 9-minute program selected by him previously. The biggest benefit of a cassette honey extractor is less labor – manual work is limited to inserting and removing the frames from the drum. Also precision of honey extraction, which is close to 100%, is worth mentioning. An additional advantage of the Konigin automatic controller is the possibility of manual interference with the rotation speed during spinning. In an emergency situation, when the weight distribution of the combs differs from cassette to cassette, the maximum speed of 400 revolutions per minute may turn out to be too high. Therefore, in a very easy and quick way, using manual adjustment, you can set the speed appropriate for the spinning, usually at the level of 70-80% in relation to the maximum speed. It is enough to complete a spinning cycle without the need to stop the machine.
