First test of my honey filling machine

This was the first time I'm using my Chinese imported honey filling machine.
There was some learning from this. The machine came without any instruction manual and was set to Chinese. I managed to change the language to English and figure out the main features of the machine.
Cleaning was easy. It has a reverse function so you can pump any honey back into the bucket after you are done.
There was very little wastage and I think it was less than 300g of wastage from honey still in the pipes when I cleaned it.
Overall I'm very happy with this machine and it will save me lots of time when bottling buckets of honey.

Awesome stuff, looks good and glad you understand Chinese 🤣🤣

How did you set the slow-down speed? I've looked everywhere and can't find instructions on how to perform that task.

[@beeinspiredza]

I'll check tomorrow. Machine is still going strong and using it almost every two weeks now.

Great video! Can you do a video of how you clean the machine after bottling?

[@beeinspiredza]

Sure

Hi - thanks for the video - I got the same machine last week, but after I prime it, air stays in the hose. Does bucket need to be at same level as machine?

[@beeinspiredza]

Hi. The bucket needs to be at a similar hight as the machine. I keep my bucket on top of another bucket and it works perfectly for me.

Hi
Thanks for the great video on the machine.
How do you set the slow down speed ?

[@beeinspiredza]

I'll check the setting when I take out the machine again. Only going to bottle again next week.

Totally amazing !! Do you mind telling us the price and where you sourced the machine.

[@beeinspiredza]

Hi Liz
I imported the machine from Alibaba. The total including shipping and customs came to R12 000.

[@matthewb7800]

Thanks for the video. Are you still using this machine? Does it put a lot of air bubbles into the honey?

[@beeinspiredza]

Hi
I'm still using the machine. Only on the first couple of jars but the rest are all perfect.

[@matthewb7800]

@@beeinspiredza Thank you, I think I will be ordering one. Can you share your website address or Whatsapp #, I'd like to understand how to change from Chinese to English.

Hallo my name is Beau im a first year bee keeper.I want to as you how much honey do you average per hive per harvest ?

[@beeinspiredza]

Hi. I'm averaging 30kg per hive but it does depend on environment and every year can be different.

[@danlieter5673]

Can you explain how to change from chinese to English, Thanks

[@beeinspiredza]

Hi. I'll get the steps over the weekend for you. You can WhatsApp me if you need any help. My number is on my website.

[@danlieter5673]

Thanks, unfortunately I don't use Whatsapp

[@angiejones3350]

Are you still using this? Just wondering how it held up. Also, could you bottle gallons with this?

[@beeinspiredza]

Hi. Can't do without it. Just used it this week to bottle over 100kg of honey in the space of 3 hours. Just uploaded a video.

[@angiejones3350]

Great! And what about gallon jugs?

[@beeinspiredza]

@@angiejones3350 those should still be fine. I've used it to fill 5kg and 10kg.
