WT1 automatic uncapping machine
The stainless steel WT1 uses heated stainless steel knives to produce an even cut, with manual uncapping-depth adjustment of ±10 mm. Frames are loaded manually onto the five-frame entrance slide. It handles frames with and without Hoffmann shoulders, with supplier-stated throughput of approximately eight half frames or five full frames per minute.
- Motor drive: 550 W, 400V or 230V / 16 A.
- Thermostatically controlled 2,000 W water-heating system for the knives, including reservoir and circulating pump.
- Supplied with a draining board.
- Product-contact metal parts are stainless steel and can be cleaned with hot water.
Frame slide and collecting tray
The separate frame slide measures 1.5 m long and is listed as suitable for WT1 reference 6000126. The stainless steel honey collecting tray measures 1.1 m long and is also listed for this machine.
DS 65 d direct melter
The two-temperature-zone clarifying tank separates honey from uncapping wax. Honey sinks to the bottom and drains through a dedicated pipe, while the floating wax is liquefied and discharged as sufficient material accumulates. The supplier describes honey at approximately 35°C and continuous recovery of honey and wax. The melter is listed as compatible with the WT1.
