After the honey frames have been removed from the supers, the extraction process begins. The first step is to remove a thin layer of beeswax that seals the honey in the cell; this portion of beeswax is referred to as the capping.
The Deluxe Uncapping Tub provides an easy way to uncap and separate the wax from the honey quickly and easily without the sticky mess of other methods. The honey frame sits on a cross bar of two stacking trays and is easily uncapped with a hot knife. The cappings remain in the top tub and the honey falls through to the tub below. Honey can then be strained into a sieve and transported to a pouring bucket. The lid can be used to store the frames from the honey super prior to processing.
Made in the USA and constructed of heavy-duty, quarter-inch-thick polyethylene, The Deluxe Uncapping Tub is an FDA-approved food-grade material. This is a rugged product designed to last for many years.
