Suitable for: 4-frame to 6-frame self-turning extractor and radial extractor for 9 frames. Capacity: 35 kg.

New — extra-large squeeze valve for increased honey flow!

The collection sieve bucket is designed primarily for straining during honey extraction. Two welded stainless-steel squeeze valves are fitted that . The upper XL squeeze valve is intended for the overflow of strained honey into lower containers. The lower squeeze valve is used to drain the honey.

Because of the larger diameter of the upper overflow valve, the flow of strained honey from the container is around 50% higher than with a standard squeeze valve.

The collection sieve bucket contains a fine sieve made from stainless-steel mesh fabric that ensures a high honey flow rate. The honey collection bucket is made entirely from food-grade stainless materials.

Dimensions

• Capacity: 35 kg
• Height: 40 cm
• Height to upper squeeze valve: 28 cm
• Diameter of the fine sieve: 30.5 cm
• Height of the fine sieve: 34 cm
• Sieve area: 0.29 m2
• Mesh size: 0.71 mm

Advantages

• Very large sieve area: 0.29 m2
• The sieve is made from stainless-steel mesh fabric, which ensures a high honey flow rate.
• Allows complete cleaning of the honey. Optimal use together with the coarse honey sieve with a diameter of 24 cm (see below).
• The sieve does not clog even during all-day straining. With a 4-frame to 6-frame self-turning extractor or a radial extractor for 9 frames, you can usually work a whole day before the sieve needs cleaning.

Dual function

• Straining the honey during extraction and
• Filling jars with honey — the squeeze valve cuts the honey off cleanly.

Application

• The collection sieve bucket is placed directly under the outlet valve of the honey extractor. During the straining process the lower squeeze valve of the collection sieve bucket must be closed.
• The honey then flows continuously from the extractor into the collection sieve bucket through the sieve. The honey level rises to the upper XL squeeze valve and then flows through the upper XL squeeze valve into a receiving bucket/bin. A filled collection sieve bucket allows continuous straining.
• Because of the high weight of the honey and the large area of the inner sieve, wax, debris and pollen clog the sieve of this collection bucket only very slowly from top to bottom.
• The wax residues, debris and pollen float to the surface and can be skimmed off easily. For this we recommend the coarse honey sieve with a diameter of 24 cm.
• At the end the collection sieve bucket is emptied via the lower squeeze valve. 

Cleaning

• To clean, place the collection sieve bucket on a stool.
• Let the strained honey run out through the lower squeeze valve into a bucket.
• The sieve is removed from the bucket and cleaned — preferably from the outside with a cold water jet or shower.
• When the sieve is dry, put it back into the bucket and you can continue working.
