Product images are for illustrative purposes only and may sometimes differ from the actual appearance of the item.
However, this does not change their basic properties.

1. General safety instructions
Before first use read the manual carefully and follow
the instructions contained therein. The manufacturer
is not liable for damage caused by equipment used
inappropriately or by incorrect handling.
1.1. Intended use
The uncapping machine is a device which allows to
mechanically prepare sealed off bee combs for the
honey extractions process.
1.2. Electrical safety
1. The electrical supply system must be fitted with a
residual-current circuit breaker with rated tripping
current not higher than 30mA. Performance of the
circuit breaker should be checked periodically.
2. Periodically check the condition of the power cord.

2. Instructions for use
2.1 General instructions – preparation for
use
1. Set the device up in a designated, clean, dry and
well lit room.
2. Keep a free space around the device for better
handling.
3. Once the device is set up, lock the caster wheels
to prevent the device from moving.
4. Provide easy access to the power source.
5. Closely follow the instructions of use.
2.2 Operation instructions
1. The uncapping machine is a device which allows to
mechanically prepare sealed off bee combs for the
honey extractions process.
2. The device has to be cleaned before the first use
and after finishing work according to the instructions
in the "Cleaning and Maintenance" section.
3. Before start:
−Fill up the heating system’s tank (2) with
distilled water via port (3), the same
procedure applies to the steam generator
(22)
−Set the water circulation pump switch (7) to
position "1", plug in to the power supply
socket and switch the heater on (5) or plug
the steam generator’s power cord into the
socket (22).
−Wait until the water in the water generator
and the cutting blades (14) reach the
temperature set on the thermostat (1).
The water in the steam generator will start to
boil ant turn into steam.

−Plug in the power cord of the uncapping
machine (13) into the power socket and on
the control box (9) switch (8) to RIGHT or
LEFT to engage the frame feeder (11) and
uncapping chains (14).
−Place the previously prepared frames on a
working feeding chain (11), pay close
attention to their correct positioning (parallel
to each other and perpendicular to the
chains). Incorrect arrangement of the frames
may cause damage or breakage.
−With the RIGHT-LEFT switch (8), allows to
control the process of feeding of the frames
or to reverse the direction in case they get
stuck on the feeder chains.
−The depth of uncapping and spacing
between uncapping knives (14) can be
adjusted with two dedicated levers (15) and
(16)
−Adjust knives in necessary after uncapping
some frames if their performance turns out to
be unsatisfactory
−The frames, after being uncapped, are
deposited one after another on the table rails
(17).
−Put the uncapped frames into the honey
extractor.
−Cappings created in the process fall down on
perforated screens (19) located above the
bottom of the table.
−The dripping honey falls to the bottom of the
table and can be drained through the drain
valve (18).
−Place a honey container under the open
drain valve.
Do not adjust any work parameters while
the machine is running.
3. Product description
The mechanical uncapping machine together with the
hot water closed circuit system / steam generator are
designed to work with 230V power supply
The blades of the machine are heated up by hot
water or steam produced in the generator.
The pump continuously circulates hot water through
the knife heating system.
Chain feeder allows for smooth and continuous
supply of frames.
The adjustable knife settings allow to optimise
operation of the device and properly uncap the frame
surface.

If the device has been moved from a cold room to a
room with a higher temperature, before switching on
wait until it reaches the ambient temperature and all
condensation water evaporates.
Store the device in a dry and frost-free room.
Do not use the device when the ambient temperature
is below 5ºC.
An additional technical check should be carried out
periodically, and if any defects are found, please
contact the manufacturer.
5. Cleaning and maintenance
Unplug the device from the power supply outlet
before performing any maintenance!
Before first use and after finishing work the
equipment must be thoroughly cleaned and dried.
While cleaning ensure the safety of all electrical
components like motors and controller panels (for the
time of washing cover them with waterproof fabric or
plastic film).
No parts of the device require chemical conservation
including the feeder chain.
An additional technical check should be carried out
before the start of the pollen harvesting season, and
if any defects are found, please contact the
manufacturer.
IMPORTANT!
If you notice any build-up of limescale on
the heater of the steam generator or
closed circuit, purchase and apply a
suitable descaling agent. The limescale
deposits may cause the water to reach
boiling temperature longer and may
cause the heater failure. After removing
the limescale, rinse the system several
times. Remove any remaining limescale
residue from the generator as it may
cause part’s corrosion.
