Manual stainless steel press for cappings and wax

If you work with honey-laden cappings, whole combs, or wax residues, this multifunctional manual press is an indispensable ally in your honey house. Made entirely of high-quality stainless steel, it's designed for those seeking durability, ease of cleaning, and maximum efficiency in recovering honey and wax without the need for heat.

1. Extract honey from cappings without heating: Ideal for pressing freshly uncapped cappings and extracting every last drop of honey without altering its quality or increasing HMF. Perfect for delicate or high-value honeys like orange blossom or rosemary.

2. Dry cappings before melting: To obtain clean, impurity-free cappings wax, it's essential to remove the honey first. This press makes the process easy, quick, and hassle-free.

3. Press whole combs with dense honey: In blooms like heather or strawberry tree, where the honey is too dense to centrifuge, this press allows extraction by pressure. Also useful for combs not fully capped or with a mix of brood and honey.

4. Recover wax after melting old frames: After passing old frames through a solar wax melter, there's still residue (slumgum) containing wax. This press lets you recover it effortlessly, maximizing yield.

5. Suitable for food or domestic use: You can also use it to press fruits (apples, grapes, pears...) when making cider, must, or homemade preserves. A versatile tool beyond beekeeping.
