The club has both a motorized (6 frame shallow or medium only) and a manual (9 frame) extractor, both with a hot knife, and uncapping tub that is lent out to dues paying members. You supply the liner cloth for the uncapping tub which is not required but makes dealing with the capping wax easier or you can make your own easily. There are very specific instructions on the use and care of these pieces of expensive equipment. Do not ever use soap to clean, and for the motorized extractor, you must start it out very slowly.
Please read the Extractor Policy, Use and Care Guides we have on the website; there is one for each type of extractor.
We ask you to be considerate of your fellow club members. Keep the extractor no more than 2 days in the busy season and do a good job cleaning it up.
There is sometimes a DVD on extracting honey that accompanies the extractor. You can also find videos online at some sites.
