6-Frame Extractor Reversible - Electric, Tangential

6-Frame Electric Honey Extractor – Reversible Tangential | Stainless Steel | SAF Manufactured

Maximise extraction speed, honey yield, and long-term reliability with this 6-Frame Electric Motor Driven Honey Extractor, purpose-built for serious hobbyist and semi-commercial beekeepers managing larger apiaries.

Manufactured by SAF, this premium reversible tangential honey extractor is engineered to handle Langstroth Full Depth, ¾ Depth, and ½ Depth frames, making it an incredibly versatile and future-proof investment.

Extract More Honey, Faster ?

The reversible electric drive system is a major time-saver when processing large honey volumes — especially essential for operators with 100+ hives. By reversing direction, both sides of the frame are fully extracted without manual repositioning, dramatically increasing throughput and reducing fatigue.

Combined with the advantages of a tangential extractor, this unit consistently removes up to 99% of honey from the comb, maximising yield and profitability every season.

Built for Performance & Durability

• Heavy-duty stainless steel drum with a sloping, self-draining base ensures fast, efficient honey flow and easy cleaning

• Metal helical-cut gearbox provides smooth, quiet operation and long service life

• Food-grade lubricated gears and bottom bearing for safety and longevity

• Speed controller allows precise control for different frame weights and honey viscosities

Smart, Practical Design

The swing-out frame baskets rotate to expose the full face of the frame to the drum wall, improving extraction efficiency while protecting delicate comb. Baskets are constructed from composite stainless steel with robust injection-moulded nylon, offering strength without unnecessary weight.

A clear acrylic hinged lid lets you monitor extraction safely, while the 40mm (1½") nylon honey gate ensures fast, clean honey drainage into your settling tank.

Who Is This Extractor For?

✔ Serious hobbyist beekeepers upgrading from small hobby units
✔ Semi-commercial operators processing high honey volumes
✔ Beekeepers who value speed, efficiency, and maximum yield
✔ Anyone looking for a cost-effective long-term investment, not a disposable hobby extractor

While more expensive than entry-level models, this extractor quickly pays for itself in time saved, honey recovered, and reduced labour.

Maintenance Tip

For optimal performance and longevity, thoroughly clean the extractor at the end of each season and re-grease the gearbox and central bottom bearing using food-grade grease.
