Uncap frames and process wax cappings with ease using this automatic uncapper with extruder from Lyson!
Lyson Uncapper with Extruder
The ultimate continuous use automatic uncapper with an extruder to quickly process wax cappings. With a closed circuit hot water system, blades maintain temperature so there is no need to refill or connect an external heater. Control the temperature with a thermostat which allows temperatures between 149-203°F (65-95°C). With automatic chain feeding, you can work on freeing frames from supers, and work in conjunction with the machine, allowing optimum efficiency.
Blades can be adjusted to desired cutting depth. Frame feeder can be adjusted to fit various frame sizes.
How it Works:
Frames are loaded into the frame feeder which holds the frames by the top bar. One frame at a time drops into the chain feeder which guides it between two oscillating heated blades. Cappings wax and honey drip into the cappings extruder feed hopper. After uncapping, each frame is automatically pushed onto the uncapping table awaiting manual scratching (if needed on poorly drawn frames) and extracting. An inclined tray brings drips to the extruder.
Capping Extruder
The fits beneath the uncapper and processes cappings as they are produced. Using force, a slow-rotating screw made of durable high-density plastic, compresses the cappings while allowing the liquid honey to escape through the perforated cylinder. Compressed wax exits the end of the screw and is ready for further processing. Honey drips into removable sieve trays and then into a holding tank for discharge to your tank.
Power supply: 230V AC, 750 watts (1 HP). Includes NEMA 6-20P plug. Dimensions 103 L x 49 W x 65 H (cm).
Note:
- Frames must be drawn out to at least the thickness of the top bar. The uncapping knives are set prior to uncapping based on the thickness of the top bar but can easily be adjusted during operation if needed.
