3–12 Frame Manual Honey Extractor – Conical SS304

3-12 Frame Manual Honey Extractor, Built to Scale

Step up your harvest with the 3-12 Frame Manual Honey Extractor, a heavy-duty spinner engineered for growing apiaries, sideline beekeepers, and serious hobbyists who need real capacity. Made to European standards in Turkey from AISI 304 food-grade stainless steel, this extractor combines a generous 52.5cm drum with a flexible basket system that handles both tangential and radial layouts, extracting more honey, faster, with one machine.

Conical Base for Maximum Honey Flow

Unlike flat-bottomed extractors that trap honey in the corners, this unit features a conical base that channels every drop toward the honey gate. Less honey left behind, faster draining, and easier cleaning, no scraping the bottom or tipping the drum to recover the last litre.

Tangential and Radial Flexibility

The standout feature is the convertible basket system. Set up tangentially to spin 3 full-depth frames with maximum control, ideal for fresh or delicate comb. Switch to radial to process up to 12 frames at once, dramatically cutting harvest time during peak flow, versatility most extractors at this price point simply don't offer.

Built to Last, Easy to Operate

A reinforced 0.8mm stainless steel drum keeps the body rigid under heavy spinning loads, while the smooth-running metal centrifuge gear gives precise control over speed and momentum. The food-grade honey gate sits at the lowest point of the conical base for complete drainage, and demountable stainless steel legs make off-season storage and transport hassle-free.

How many frames does this extractor hold?

3 frames in tangential setup, or up to 12 frames when converted to radial, giving flexibility depending on your batch size.

What's the difference between tangential and radial extraction?

Tangential spins frames one side at a time with more control, ideal for delicate comb, while radial extracts both sides of all frames simultaneously for speed.

What material is this extractor made from?

AISI 304 food-grade stainless steel throughout the body, basket, and honey gate, made to European standards in Turkey.

What's the benefit of a conical base?

It channels honey straight toward the gate, reducing waste and speeding up both pouring and cleaning compared to flat-bottom designs.

Is this extractor manual or electric?

Manual, hand-cranked with a smooth metal centrifuge gear for precise control over speed and momentum.

How thick is the steel drum?

0.8mm reinforced stainless steel, keeping the body rigid even under heavy spinning loads.

Can the legs be removed for storage?

Yes, the legs are demountable stainless steel, making off-season storage and transport easier.

Is this suitable for a growing apiary?

Yes, the convertible basket system means it can handle both small tangential batches and larger radial batches as your hive count grows.

How easy is it to clean?

Very easy, the conical base and stainless steel construction mean a quick rinse and wipe is enough between batches.

Does this extractor come with a warranty?

Yes, it's backed by a 12-month warranty.
