TRL Level: 4

Instituto Tecnológico de Apizaco

50% reduction in the employment of the workforce of beekeepers who produce at least 2 tons by simplifying the honey extraction process with the use of a single machine.

Features and Technical Specifications

  • Ergonomic honey extractor machine with easy mobility for use in apiary foot.
  • Fast transportation with a system of wheels and mechanical supports for pushing and loading the machine.
  • Easy maintenance and operation.
  • The method of operation is through a bicycle attached to the machine.
  • It has a pumping system for packing honey through a endless screw.
  • It has a cleaning filter system and a leveling system.
  • The machine must be made of food grade stainless steel.

Technology and Competitive Advantages

  • Honey extraction times and labor use are reduced by 50%.
  • It does not require electrical energy since its operation is through human propulsion (it does not require greater manual effort).
  • The reversal of the spin by pedaling spins the centrifuge and the inverse becomes a pumping system.
  • The inverse becomes like a pumping system.
  • Simplification of the extraction process using a single machine.
  • Machine easy to transport to the apiary.
  • Transport and leveling system in the field to make the extractor’s rotation more efficient.
  • Rack holder, mesh to filter impurities, worm screw for pumping and mechanical transmission.

Technology Applications
