Cappings Extruder 200 kg/hr

Forged of stainless steel, this state of the art wax capping extruder is designed to take wet mix cappings and separate filtered honey from dry, compressed wax cappings. Its simple-to-use design features an on/off switch to power operation while a variable speed dial allows you to finetune the rotation of a speed screw, and ultimately the rate of extrusion. Caster wheels enable easy movement of the device and its compact size thrives in an array of spaces.

Extruders are rated by the weight of wet cappings (honey plus wax) that can be processed per hour. This machine is able to process 200 kg or 440 lb per hour. Need less processing power? We also offer a 100 kg/hr extruder and a 50 kg/hr extruder.

Note:

• The Lyson extruder works best with knife-style uncappers and can be added to many machines either directly, or through modification. We don’t recommend using flail-style uncappers as fine particles will remain in the separated honey. We do offer an uncapper/extruder combo which you can learn about on the Lyson Uncapper with Extruder page.
• The dryness of extruded wax depends on the honey content of the cappings

How It Works:

Using force, a slow-rotating screw made of durable high-density plastic, compresses the cappings while allowing the liquid honey to escape through the perforated cylinder. Compressed wax exits the end of the screw and is ready for further processing. Honey drips into removable sieve trays and then into a holding tank for discharge to your tank.
