DIY Honey Extractor

In this video I briefly explain the radial 4 frame honey extractor that I built. I will likely make an update video during our first use of it. Below you will find a list of links for the main materials that are used. Much of the hardware, like the all-thread that is used as the shaft, can vary in size. I used 3/8" as it seemed to be sturdy enough and still allowed for my corded drill to attach to it.

Brilliant design. Only thing i would of done different would be to use roller blade bearings at the top and bottom of the spindle.

I would go for spinning 8 frames.... that's awesome!

I think the frame holders could be made from a hard wood also , it’s a great idea, if it works to your liking that’s all that matters. 👍

Very cool!

[@JensenJamie]

The solid top and bottom plastic kind of solves my questions about how to hold frames. I only have two hives, and only the older one has honey supers so I may only have 10 frames to spin. I might invert one 5 gallon pail on another and cut holes in the top to insert frames into a spinner like yours. I will have to think about it. J.

Pretty cool

That’s bad ass

[@DanielHeasley]

Did it work well? Any balance issues?

[@hornbakeracres9650]

Yes it actually works pretty well. With how light it is there are some balance issues at first until the frames start to empty out.
