The Lyson W2096000Z consists of an automatic feed oscillating knife uncapper with a frame storage table/tank. Does not include a capping extruder.

Uncapper

The uncapper uses water heated oscillating knives to cleanly cut cappings from capped comb. A closed circuit hot water system maintains the blade temperature. The water temperature is thermostatically controlled with an adjustable temperature between 65 and 95 deg C (149 to 203 deg F). The uncapper includes a built in water heater so there is no need for an external hot water system in your honey house.

Frames are loaded into the frame feeder which holds the frames by the top bar. One frame at a time drops into the chain feeder which guides it between two oscillating heated blades. Cappings wax and honey drip into the cappings tank. After uncapping, each frame is automatically pushed onto the uncapping table awaiting manual scratching (if needed on poorly drawn frames) and extracting. A perforated tray in the bottom of the tank catches cappings and helps pre-filter your cappings honey.

Frames must be drawn out to at least the thickness of the top bar. The uncapping knives are set prior to uncapping based on the thickness of the top bar. The knife position can be adjusted between batches of frames if a new setting is required.
