In general, the rotational speed should be gradual. It is therefore the centrifugal force that makes honey come out of the cells. The frames will be positioned in the extractor and will rotate around an axis. To collect honey deposited by bees on frames, beekeepers use what is called a honey extractor. Horizontal extraction with continuous extraction chains.Radial or tangential extractors, what’s the difference?.No matter how well you clamp your filter to the tube, there's a multitude of problems that can occur.Įdit: those aren't supposed to be smiley faces and I can't get rid of them for whatever reason. Any one who's ever experienced a blow out and waisted 300$ I'm sure would agree with me. Inarguably the way to go for me for that reason alone. This has happened to me twice with glass, and zero times with the honeybee. Can burst, which would ruin the entire run. When you have to run high pressure, there's a great risk of the material your using on the glass to filter like a coffee filter. And with the constant heating and cooling you'll be subjecting your tube to, you better believe the glass will eventually breakĢ) the honeybee tube is threaded at the end and a cap screws on. Plastic will not, at least in a violent sense. While preferring the tube, two property's of the glass turn me away from it:ġ) Glass can break. I've started out using the mason jar methods but found the returns to be slightly lower then with the tube method, especially when the tube is properly packed. That's generally between 110 and 115 for me, but everyone's pain tolerances are different so that may not be the best method for everyone. I keep my water hot enough (or cool enough?) That I can keep my fingers in it for at least ten seconds. I don't use a heat gun, but I have verified this method with one. Personally I heat 110 for maximum flavor retention but to each there own. If you have a gas stove or are just uncomfortable evaporating inside (as everyone should be) a good method is to get a pan of water boiling then bring it outside, then after it's cooled a little you can bring the Pyrex outside just untill the visible pool of butane is gone, then back indoors you can go with a little more feeling of ease knowing the vast majority definitely made it outside. I'd rather not find myself lying in the hospital going, " I know I turned it off, what happened". I personally don't blast anywhere near any open source of heat. Plus to make it a hair tighter, and prevent any dish contamination, I place 4 cottonballs in before any flower, this prevents any pieces no matter how small from blasting out the hole in the top when you pull out (giggity). I personally use a honeybee designed for 28 grams. You'll get the best return on tightly packed tubes. I would suggest going to your LHS for a glass tube designed to run a quarter ounce. Do you mean that you heat up the water first to 120, then unplug the skillet and begin blasting into the Pyrex that is on top of the heated water? From the videos I have seen, people blast into Pyrex then put it into an already heated skillet, is this what you meant? Sorry if these are silly questions, I just want to get it really figured out so I don't do anything stupid! Thanks is advance again! I had a couple of bonus questions.Do you think 7g would work in a a HoneyBee? Or would I need a glass tube designed for such small runs? Also, you say you blast into a Pyrex floating in an electric skillet with water at 120 degrees. Definitely filled in a lot of the blanks I had for the process. Definitely going to take every precaution I can to avoid a potentially dangerous DieHard Thank you so much for that run-down. I try to be a very cautious and safe person, I've heard and read about the dangers while doing this process. Perfect! Thank you both very much for the responses.
