A hand fork copes with a few boxes, but once the harvest runs to dozens of supers a honey uncapping machine sets the pace for the extraction shed. Our Königin uncapping machines use oscillating knives that open both faces of the frame in one pass. The heated semi-automatic uncapper suits all popular Australian frame types and marks the comb less than a fork, so emptied frames go back on the hives ready to refill.
Choosing an uncapping machine comes down to throughput. The semi-automatic model runs on a 250W motor with a screened capping container, and a heated-knife version adds a 1m tank and frame holder. The automatic machines have heated oscillating knives on a 1.3kW drive and a 1.5m or 2m tank with frame slide, matched to Königin's 50kg/hour and 200kg/hour wax presses. Uncapping by hand? The Königin uncapping table has a 125cm AISI 304 stainless tank, frame holder, two work stands and two screen trays.
The MINI-Line pairs a semi-automatic uncapper with a 50kg wax press and, with a suitably sized extractor, handles 10 to 12 hive bodies an hour. Send cappings to our Königin honey-wax separators and frames on to the Königin honey extractors, or for a few hives see our hand uncapping tools. Our Perth and Sydney team can help size a honey uncapping machine to your shed.
The MINI-Line Honey Extracting Line is a compact, all-in-one honey processing system designed for small to medium-sized commercial beekeepers. It combines efficient uncapping, wax processing, and honey collection into a streamlined workflow, helping you save time while producing cleaner, higher-quality honey.
The system includes:
- Semi-Automatic Uncapping Machine – Suitable for a wide range of frame sizes and fitted with heated knives for fast, clean, and consistent uncapping.
- 50kg Wax Press – Processes up to 50kg of cappings per hour, efficiently separating honey from wax to maximise honey recovery.
- 1 Metre Drip Tray – Holds uncapped frames before extraction, keeping your workspace clean and organised.
- Heated Honey Sump – Collects and gently warms honey as it flows through the line.
- Honey Pump – Transfers honey efficiently throughout the extracting process.
- 25 Frame Stand – Convenient storage for frames during extraction.
Please note: The uncapping triangle is not included.
Expand Your Existing Setup
Already have a honey extractor or uncapper?
The MINI-Line can be integrated with many existing machines, helping reduce your initial investment. It is compatible with both radial and cassette honey extractors, provided they match the uncapping machine's processing capacity.
Performance
With a semi-automatic uncapper and a suitably sized extractor, the MINI-Line can comfortably process 10–12 hive bodies per hour..
For increased productivity, adding a second extractor and operator can boost processing capacity by up to 50%, making it an excellent solution for expanding commercial operations.
The semi-automatic uncapper is a device created for beekeepers who value reliable and effective equipment. It is characterised by significant efficiency, several times higher than that achieved by a skilled person using a traditional fork. The device is compatible with all popular types of frames used in Australia. Importantly, the degree of the machine's damage to comb is considerable less than uncapping fork. Thanks to this, after returning the emptied combs to productive colonies they are quickly refilled with honey.
The machine comes with 1m wax collection tank with frame holder plus a SS box to collect cappings.
