HONEY DISTILLER Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: apiculture. SUBSTANCE: honey distilling apparatus has bowl-shaped casing 1 with cylindrical wall and bottom provided with members for fastening casing 1 in vertical plane. Horizontal rotor with frame holders 7 is fixed within casing 1. Frame holders are formed as receptacles for honeycomb frames 8. Frame holders 7 are fixed relative to shaft 5 in symmetry one with respect to the other on brackets by corners and orient honeycomb frames 8 so that their upper planks are faced toward cylindrical wall of casing 1 and surfaces of honeycombs 10 extend in parallel with vertical plane of revolution of rotor. Frame holders 7 have corner stops 12 positioned in their lower part and rotary locks 18 positioned in their upper part and adapted to retain frames 8 against shift in operative position. Rotor drive transmission 30 is positioned in casing bottom slots. Cylindrical wall is provided with cylindrical flange 34 whose lower part goes over to honey gravity spout 42 through which honey is discharged into containers 43. Flange 34 prevents honey from leakage over cylindrical wall of casing 1. Frames are mounted in vertical position to facilitate simultaneous discharge of honey from honeycombs 10 at both sides of frame 8. EFFECT: increased efficiency in collecting honey, reduced time and labor consumption for discharging honey from honeycombs and reduced loss of honey. 18 dwg
