The W20965 wax extruder, also known as a cappings extruder, is a specialized piece of equipment designed for beekeepers and honey processors. It serves the primary function of separating honey from wax cappings, a byproduct of the honey extraction process. This device is particularly useful in processing wet mix cappings, which consist of a mixture of honey and wax that is removed from honeycombs during the uncapping process before honey extraction.
Specification:
The W20965 operates through a mechanical process where wet mix cappings are fed into the machine. It utilizes a slow-rotating screw, made of durable high-density plastic, to compress the cappings. This action forces the liquid honey to escape through a perforated cylinder, while the compressed wax exits the end of the screw. The separated honey drips into removable sieve trays and then into a holding tank for discharge.
 
The primary application of the W20965 wax extruder is in the beekeeping and honey processing industry, where it is used to:
In summary, the W20965 wax extruder is a valuable tool for beekeepers and honey processors, offering efficient separation of honey and wax, durability, and ease of use, which contribute to a more streamlined and productive honey processing operation.
