Maximize Your Yield with Powerful, Precise Extraction

For beekeepers, every drop of honey and piece of wax is valuable. Stop leaving profits behind in wet, messy cappings. Our Stainless Steel Honey Press Machine is engineered to give you the mechanical advantage needed to reclaim it all. You can feel the quality in its construction; the heavy-gauge stainless steel and reinforced, TIG-welded leg brace provide a rock-solid platform that won’t flex or wobble as you apply pressure. We designed the large-diameter T-handle and fine-threaded acme screw to work in tandem, converting your effort into powerful, consistent force. This slowly and effectively squeezes every ounce of honey from crushed comb or renders clean, dry wax pucks from your cappings. Every surface that touches your product—the perforated basket, the press plate, and the collection tray with its integrated spout—is made of food-grade stainless steel for purity and easy cleanup. This manual honey press isn’t just a tool; it’s a permanent upgrade to your honey house that pays for itself in recovered product.

B2B Case Spotlight: African Cooperative Increases Revenue by 25%

An Ethiopian beekeeping cooperative specializing in top-bar hives struggled to efficiently process their harvest, losing significant honey in their wax cappings. After equipping their processing centers with our manual honey presses, they were able to press their cappings post-harvest. This simple step allowed them to recover an additional 1-2 kg of honey per hive. The cooperative increased their total marketable honey yield by 15% and created a new revenue stream by selling the clean, pressed wax pucks, resulting in a total revenue increase of 25% for their member families.

 

Which Honey Press Model is Right for You?

While all our presses are built to the same high standard, we offer several designs to perfectly match your workflow.

• Standard Model (Perforated Basket): The all-around workhorse. Its robust construction and efficient design make it the ideal choice for general-purpose honey and wax pressing for most beekeepers.
• Bent Spout Model: Best for direct bottling and minimizing mess. The angled spout provides superior control over the honey flow, allowing you to fill jars and containers with precision right from the press.
• Enclosure Model (Solid Outer Wall): The ultimate in cleanliness. A solid stainless steel wall surrounds the perforated basket, containing any potential splashes. This makes it the perfect choice for indoor use or for pressing very wet comb.

 

Complete Your Extraction Setup

Get the most out of your harvest by pairing your honey press with these essential tools.

• Double Sieve Honey Strainer: Ensure your final product is crystal clear. This two-stage stainless steel filter fits perfectly over a 5-gallon bucket to remove any wax particles.
• Food-Grade Bucket with Honey Gate: The perfect collection vessel. Store and bottle your pressed honey with ease using this durable bucket equipped with a no-drip gate.
• Stainless Steel Comb Cutter: A simple but vital tool. This long blade cleanly cuts comb from top bars or frames, making it easy to load into the press basket.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the approximate capacity of the press basket?

A1: The basket has a volume of approximately 13.7 liters (or 3.6 U.S. gallons), allowing you to press a significant amount of crushed comb or cappings in a single batch.

Q2: Can I use this for both honey and wax cappings?

A2: Yes, it is a dual-purpose machine. It is designed to extract residual honey from crushed comb and to press melted wax cappings to separate the pure wax from honey and impurities.

Q3: What grade of stainless steel do you use?

A3: We use certified food-grade stainless steel for all components that come into contact with your honey or wax, ensuring product purity and compliance with food safety standards.

Q4: How do I clean the press after using it?

A4: Cleaning is straightforward. Scrape out the remaining wax/comb, then wash the components with hot water and a mild detergent. The stainless steel construction allows for easy and thorough sanitization.

Q5: Will I need to filter the honey after pressing?

A5: Yes. Pressing extracts pure honey but will also include fine wax particles. We recommend running the pressed honey through a double sieve or filter cloth to ensure a crystal-clear final product.

Q6: Can this press be used for other applications, like pressing fruit?

A6: Absolutely. The robust construction makes it an excellent multi-purpose press for making small batches of cider, wine, or pressing cheese curds.

Q7: How much assembly is required upon delivery?

A7: Minimal assembly is needed. You will typically only need to attach the T-handle to the main screw assembly, which takes less than a minute.

Q8: What is the best technique for pressing honeycomb?

A8: For best results, crush the comb first, place it in a mesh bag (sold separately), and then apply slow, steady pressure. This allows the honey to escape without forcing fine particles through the perforations.

Q9: Do you offer wholesale pricing for distributors?

A9: Yes, we specialize in B2B partnerships. We offer competitive tiered pricing for bulk orders from distributors, beekeeping suppliers, and cooperatives. Please contact us for a detailed wholesale quote.

Q10: What is the warranty for the honey press?

A10: The BBE-HP-13L comes with a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty covering any defects in materials or workmanship, giving you confidence in your investment.
