Greg, I have a cpl of questions. At 1:32 into the video it looks like a frame of brood going thru the uncapper. How often does this happen? Also how long does it take to spin out 120 frames in the extractor? Run time?

Neat operation.

we have four 1000 gal storage tanks for holding honey. for melting wax, we have 2 600 gal milk coolers that are filled with about 4 inches of water. the bottom is lined with copper steam coils. we scoop about 11 barrels of wax onto each tank and then shoot the steam to it. after about 2-3 hours all the wax will be liquified and can be skimmed off. with good clean wax we get about 75 40lb blocks every time we process wax
