Carl Fritz Stainless Steel Uncapping Frame Holder with Spike – CFM

A simple but incredibly useful accessory for making manual honey frame uncapping easier, quicker and more controlled.

The Carl Fritz Stainless Steel Uncapping Frame Holder with Spike is a practical addition to your honey extraction setup, designed to support frames securely while removing wax cappings with an uncapping knife.

Manufactured by Carl Fritz in Germany, this sturdy stainless steel support bar features a central spike that allows you to position and rotate a honey frame as you work.

Simply rest the frame on the spike, uncap one side using your uncapping knife, then rotate the frame to expose the opposite side. This makes it easier to work through your honey supers without constantly lifting and repositioning frames by hand.

Designed as an accessory for the Carl Fritz CFM Uncapping Set (manufacturer reference 5000132), it provides a straightforward way to improve your manual uncapping workflow.

How Does the Uncapping Frame Holder Work?

When uncapping honey frames by hand, keeping the frame steady and correctly positioned can make a significant difference to the speed and ease of the job.

This specially designed stainless steel traverse provides a support point above your uncapping tray.

1. Position the stainless steel holder across the compatible uncapping tray.

2. Place the short side of the honey frame onto the central spike.

3. Use your uncapping knife to carefully remove the wax cappings from the exposed side of the frame.

4. Rotate the frame on the spike to expose the opposite side.

5. Repeat the process before transferring the uncapped frame to your extractor.

The central spike makes turning the frame straightforward, while the stainless steel support bar provides a sturdy working arrangement.

Ideal for beekeepers who prefer traditional knife uncapping and want a more convenient setup during honey extraction.
