Our Zorue has also included a number of devices in the manufacturer of high quality beekeeping accessories including honey shakers designed to make the whole extraction more fun and less stressful. Our honey shakers comes in different sizes and shapes ideal for both novice and veteran beekeepers.
A manual honey shaker is one type of honey shakers provided by Zorue. This is a manual shearing device comprising of a cylinder with perforated walls for retaining the comb and allowing the honey to flow drainage out. This particular shaker is used by inserting the frame holding the honeycomb in its full or cut form, in a cylinder, and then tightening a lid over it. The frame containing the comb is placed in a thick transparent tub-silver timbered above and the handle is twisted slowly. The backward and downward movement causes the honey to detach from the comb and fall in to a storage jar placed immediately under the frame.
Alternative to these manual honey extractors through the heat provided by boiling water, are the electric honey shakers, a type of honey extractor fitted with an electric motor. Zorue’s electric honey shakers are equipped with speed controls that allow users to enable the shaker at various speeds depending on the thickness of their honey. The sintered honey jar is also fitted with a clear container so that you can follow the honey collection without requiring the removal of equipment.
If you are looking for a bit more variety, in addition to electrical honey extractors, Zorue also sells more traditional mesh sieve honey shakers. Mesh Diaphragm honey shakers are made of a wire mesh straw basket and a strong body frame. After that, he places the frame with the honey comb into the basket and turns a handle to spin the basket. All of the smallest out-grained pieces of wax are confined in the mesh while the rest of the large particles do not pass through.
No matter what kinds of honey shakers you have there are important techniques for you to observe in order to achieve maximum effect. Use only the frames which you know have been properly put together for extraction and when necessary, heat them up a little so that the honey can flow freely out of the frames. At the end of every use, make sure that you wash the honey shakers so that proper health standards are adhered to and also flavors do not mix.
