Honey extractor
Description
A manual centrifugal metal device designed to separate honey from the comb without destroying it. It works by spinning uncapped frames at high speed to expel the honey, allowing the comb to be reused by the bees. It consists of a cylindrical drum, an internal rotating basket, and a tap for the honey to flow out. Made of stainless steel, cylindrical in shape and supported on legs. Manufactured by the brand Lega, it features two hinged lids and a hand crank.
