Parvalux manufactures geared motors for professional and home-made honey extractors and we have many years’ experience in this interesting industry. Honey extractors spin honeycomb at varying speeds to enable effective and efficient extraction of honey. Our geared motors are both reliable and durable, and Parvalux products are trusted by honey producers, worldwide.
A honey extractor motor powers a machine that harvests honey from a honeycomb.
Beekeeping is a centuries-old process that removes honey from a wax honeycomb, created by the bees. The traditional method used to extract honey from the wax comb was to scrape it away. However, this was laborious and often destroyed the combs. Bees would then need time to remake them and production halted.
Spinning the combs improves production because centrifugal force releases the honey more efficiently. Honeycomb is fragile, and extraction can cause it damage. Honey extractors use special frames to protect the combs from damage, which means they can be reused immediately. This improves honey production by reducing the time it takes to make and fill a new comb.
Mechanizing the process helps improve productivity and Parvalux powers some of the leading honey extractor brands, used globally. Our motors also spin up very quickly, which makes them ideal for use in motorized honey extractors. They are also efficient and deliver powerful, quiet operation.
Custom drive solutions
We recognize that even with an extensive product range, a standard solution does not always meet the needs of a final product. With decades of experience developing custom drive solutions for our customers we can work with you to develop a custom solution and manufacture to the quantities required.
Our experienced team of expert design engineers are on-hand to design and prototype fully custom solutions, from scratch, to meet your exact specification.
