De-Boxer
The Cook & Beals De-Boxer attaches to Cook & Beals uncapper or it can also stand on its own.
Our de-boxer comes with room for one box on each side of the deboxing station. The de-boxer can be fed from either side. The bottom of the incoming box is scraped into a standard wax pan as it is pushed into the de-boxing station. The wax pan is included with the unit. The actual de-boxing operation is done completely hands-free via the double acting, foot operated air cylinder.
The de-boxer can handle either 9 5/8″ or 6 5/8″ frames with minimal time required to make the change-over.

Automatic Uncapper
Finest Honeycomb Uncapper
Treat your combs and yourself to the very best uncapper available -then your bees don’t have to clean the combs before they put more honey in. Our uncapper uncaps combs at the rate of 12 combs per minute or 80 supers per hour. The conveyor in the tank holds 50 frames. The feed chain holds 2 boxes of combs at a time. The main part of this uncapper is what we call the “head”. In this head are the cutters and motors. It is bolted to the top of an eight-foot stainless steel tank. The combs are placed in the head and two silent chains carry them through the revolving cutters, which remove the cappings. The uncapped comb is then on a chain that slowly conveys it toward the other end of the tank. There is room for fifty frames to rest until the extractor is ready for them. The cappings that are cut off, do not fall onto the combs that have been uncapped. As the combs pass through the cutters, they are held in place by a very rigid guide system. The depth of the cutting can be instantly changed. An adjustable slip clutch is provided. The value of this combination is to reduce breakage of frames in case a comb is started crosswise. If this should happen, the clutch stops the chains. The cutters are powered with 3/4 h.p. motors, using belt drives. A stainless steel shield over the head prohibits any capping or honey from being thrown out.

[su_tab title=”Auto-Load Extractor”] [su_animate type=”fadeInUp”]
Auto-Load Extractor
Advantages
No holes needed in floor (except for anchoring)
Entire machine is on floor level.
Only one person needed to load and unload extractor.
Heavy Duty Construction
Extractor can be loaded and unloaded in approximately 3.5 minutes
Extracting time: 4.5-8 minutes.
Labor Saver
Near-zero comb breakage in extractor.
William R. Hettrick of Hamilton, MT developed this method of extracting in the mid-1960′s. Cook & Beals, Inc. purchased the rights to manufacture and distribute this style extractor on December 18, 1972. Since then, we have continually endeavored to improve and automate this system.
The Auto-Load Extractor drum holds 128 combs of any depth (exact number will vary if end bar is over 1 3/8″ in width).
This machine is equipped with a feeding conveyor and an empty frame rack. The conveyor is designed so that the frames from an uncapping head are conveyed to the extractor. The conveyor holds the same number of combs as the extractor so the uncapping machine never needs to be stopped while loading and unloading the extractor, thus any delay in uncapping time is eliminated.
As the air cylinder feed mechanism pushes the full combs into the extractor the empty combs are pushed onto the motorized frame rack. The empty frame rack is designed to hold the same number of frames as the extractor. A one H.P. D.C. motor drives the extractor with a positive advancing mechanism that is simple, yet rugged and dependable. The mechanism is so versatile; it can be adjusted by the beekeeper to obtain the best results based on the density of the honey being extracted.
The drum is made of 1/8″ aluminum plate. All internal parts are stainless steel. The honey outlet is a 4″ pipe. The complete machine is 29′ long and 8′wide. The cover is electrically operated with automatic stops.
The Auto-Loader Extractor has been field-tested and has proven to be simple to operate, yet rugged enough to give years of trouble free service.

[su_tab title=”Progressive Cavity Pump”] [su_animate type=”fadeInUp”]
Progressive Cavity Pump
Metered Uniform Flow
Continuous pushing action in one direction provides uniform discharge without pulsation. Displacement for each revolution of the rotor is affected slightly by changes in discharge pressure.
Low Internal Velocities
All fluids, including highly volatile as well as viscous materials, are handled with minimum turbulence, agitation or pulsation.
Handles Solids in Suspension
The unit will pump solids or abrasives suspended in liquids. Even mixtures containing high percentages of solids are handled satisfactorily.
Self-Priming
Pumping action starts the instant the pump starts. The Pump is built to self-prime at 28 feet of suction lift.
Positive Displacements
The single rotating part exerts a positive pumping action comparable to that of a piston moving through a cylinder of infinite length. Head developed is independent of speed; capacity is approximately proportional to speed. Slippage is a function of viscosity and pressure and is thus predictable for all operating conditions.
Passes Particles
Particles up to 1 1/8 inches in diameter can be handled by the larger Pumps without difficulty. Should a sharp particle become imbedded in the stator, it is passed over and the following fluid tends to flush it free.
Reversible
The unit will pump in either direction with equal efficiency merely by changing direction of rotation. (This applies to all frames except a few of the larger models.)
Cook & Beals, Inc. builds the base for the Pump and equips it with a Variable Speed Pulley on motor, pump pulley, belt, adjustable motor base, and a forward/reverse switch.
This arrangement allows the operator to change the speed of the pump to meet the needs of the large or small extracting capacities.
The inlet at the top of the pump can be rotated either right or left for installing.

Heat System
Easy Access End Cap
This heat exchange unit is designed to warm honey, without overheating, so the wax and foreign materials can be easily removed. This is the first heat exchanger design that we are giving our approval and recommendation. Of the many units in the field for use in the past years, this has proven to be the most successful and satisfactory for the operator. The unit consists of tubes inside a pipe which the honey is pumped through, and circulating hot water inside the large pipe, transfers the heat to the honey. All tubes are removable in the event one may become damaged.
The honey and cappings are metered into the tubes by a “cutaway-revolving disc,” which eliminates channeling and dead pockets. This disc is driven by a 115 Volt, 4 amp, 1/4 HP reduction gear motor, through a slip clutch, which is a safety factor, in the event any pieces of wood or nails are allowed to enter the unit. The drive shaft has a seal to insure against honey leakage at this point. The unit is equipped with a manifold on each end for easy removal to clean or inspect. The end plates, revolving disc, and manifolds are of aluminum material.
This unit is very compact, being only 12 inches wide, 19 inches high, and 14 feet long. It can be suspended from the ceiling, a wall, or supported from the floor. There are only 4 connections: a 2″ pipe for the honey in, and a 2″ pipe for the honey out; a I” pipe for the circulating water in, and a I” pipe for the water out.
The heat exchange unit consists of 30-7/8″ by 12 ft. stainless steel tubes inside an 8″ aluminum pipe having more than 11,870 sq. in. of heat transferring area. This allows the user to heat approximately 3,000 lbs. of honey per hour to the desired temperature for best results in clarification without melting wax. This unit is recommended for use with the spin float honey wax separator and will handle up to 3,000 lbs. per hour. Shipping weight is approximately 500 pounds.
