Shop our range of advanced Tangential Honey Extractors, the top choice in Australia. Choose from electric, manual, or a combination of both. Perfect for hobbyist to industrial-level beekeepers.

A tangential honey extractor is a type of honey extractor that spins out the honey from only one side of the frame at a time, requiring the frames to be turned halfway through the process to extract the honey from the other side. This type of extractor is commonly used for small-scale or hobby beekeeping operations.

It is available in both manual and motorized versions, making it suitable for beekeepers managing a few colonies. Tangential extractors are known for extracting honey in a more thorough way, but they can be slower and may leave more wax in the honey compared to radial extractors.

The benefits of tangential honey extractors include:

• Affordability: Tangential extractors are generally more affordable than radial extractors, making them a cost-effective option for small-scale beekeepers or hobbyists
• Available in Various Sizes: They are available in various sizes and can be manually or electrically powered, providing options for different beekeeping needs
• Simpler to Clean and Maintain: Tangential extractors may be simpler to clean and maintain due to their less complex design, making them a convenient choice for beekeepers

However, it’s important to consider that tangential extractors can be less efficient than radial extractors, as they require the beekeeper to manually flip the combs to extract honey from both sides, which can be time-consuming, especially for beekeepers with many frames of honey to process
