Radial extractor

Using a radial honey extractor, if feasible, is significantly more efficient for honey extraction compared to tangential extractors, especially for larger-scale operations. Radial extractors hold frames radially, like spokes on a wheel, and extract honey from both sides of the comb simultaneously using centrifugal force. Tangential extractors extract one side at a time, requiring frames to be flipped. Radial extractors process frames faster, are less prone to comb damage, and extract honey more thoroughly. While more expensive than tangential extractors, radial extractors are a worthwhile investment for beekeepers processing larger honey volumes, significantly improving extraction efficiency and throughput. Radial extractors are commercially available in various sizes and configurations.
