This option for the Désopro® Uncapping Machine (JD203) improves cutting quality by maintaining a constant temperature on the knives. Additionally, the "hollow frames" system allows opening the cappings that were not removed by the main knives, ensuring a more efficient honey extraction.
1,600 W electric heating for the Désopro blades: holds the edge at around 60 °C and adds discs for hollow comb.
Sixty degrees is not a round number: it sits just below the melting point of wax. Beeswax melts between 62 and 65 °C. A blade at 60 softens the cappings and cuts clean without melting wax into the honey. The regulation is electronic, and that is what stops it going past.
01 · 60 °C: JUST BELOW MELTING
A cold edge drags and tears; an edge that is too hot melts wax that ends up in the honey and has to be separated afterwards. The useful band is narrow, which is why this carries electronic regulation and not a plain resistor.
Contact with the honey lasts a fraction of a second, not a bath, so at that temperature and for that time it is not the same as warming the crop. Even so, the house rule stands: heat is controlled, not turned up for its own sake.
02 · THE DISCS FOR HOLLOW COMB
When a frame is not drawn out flush, the blade passes over the sunken areas and leaves cappings unopened. That honey does not come out in the spinner and is lost, or the frame has to be gone over by hand.
That is what the two rows of heated stainless discs are for, synchronised with the same regulator: they open what the blade could not reach, without having to uncap deeper than you should.
03 · 1,600 W ON THE DÉSOPRO
It is an accessory to the professional Désopro and integrates into it: it does not work on its own and does not adapt to another uncapper. It draws 1,600 W.
