| The reason I made this bar
was due to the lack of pillow block adjustment when using the
Maxant Chain uncapper. The uncapper I bought from Maxant, although
very good and well engineered, lacks the ability to adjust the
distance between the flailing chains. The factory holes do not
allow the chains to be moved in either direction, thereby causing
all the frames to be uncapped to the same dimensions. This is
a problem for those of us that run our honey supers with nine
frames. Our frames are wider than those who run 10 frames per
super. From the factory, my uncapper removed the cappings and
about 1/2" of the comb from both sides. Although this increased
my wax yield, it cut the comb down to about 1/4 inch. I wanted
the chains to remove the capping and then very little of the
comb. This bar is made from Stainless steel and installs in less
than 20 minutes. - Dave Verville Download PDF file |
