Manual 4-frame tangential honey extractor with a 100 kg ripener integrated underneath — honey drops from the perforated conical bottom straight into the ripener, no transfers. 18/10 food-grade stainless steel, steel helical gear, polycarbonate lids, Ø 40 mm gate. A compact 2-in-1 setup for beekeepers running 10-15 hives from a small honey house.
Manual 4-frame tangential honey extractor with a 100 kg ripener integrated underneath — one unit extracts, filters and matures honey with no transfers between buckets. Built for the beekeeper running 10-15 hives from a small honey house, where buying an extractor and ripener separately eats both space and budget. Honey spins off the frames, falls through a perforated conical bottom into the ripener below, and settles there until bottling: a full workflow without in-between pails or pumps.
The upper body is the 4-frame tangential extractor; the lower body is a 100 kg ripener with a stainless-steel lid and outlet gate. The two modules hook together laterally — and unhook for cleaning or storage. The drum bottom is conical and perforated: spun honey pools at the tip, passes through the integrated filter, and drops straight into the ripener. You save the bucket transfers, the external filter and the floor space of a stand-alone ripener.
The crank drives the tangential basket through a steel helical gear — no belt, no friction drive. You feel it: motion comes on smoothly with no jumps or backlash, and the gear holds its precision season after season under load. The tangential basket takes 4 Langstroth frames or shallow supers, extracting one face at a time with the frame fully supported against the mesh: it protects the comb with dense honeys (heather, chestnut, ripe eucalyptus) where small radials would let unsupported frames blow out.
Drum, basket, conical bottom, ripener and contact hardware in 18/10 stainless steel (equivalent to AISI 304 food grade) — it shrugs off organic acids, propolis and CIP cycles without corrosion. The lids are clear polycarbonate with secure latches, letting you watch the spin without opening up and without splatter. Food-grade plastic gate Ø 40 mm with a stainless-steel reinforcement ring. The ripener lid is stainless with ergonomic handles — lifts clean, drops back in place without force.
The ESPACE/RACING makes sense if (1) you run 10-15 hives and the crank still feels fine, (2) you want one single unit for extraction and maturation, and (3) your honey house is tight on space. If you already own a separate ripener or don't need one yet, the RACING extractor on its own (ref. SN_74/C) saves the cost of the lower module. If the crank starts to tell because you're past 20-30 hives, look at the BHE3-4D Legroc electric — same 4-frame capacity, integrated motor.
