Description: |
| Abstract
An apparatus for removing frames from honey supers comprising a lift mechanism adapted to receive a plurality of stacked supers and to raise the same to enable the uppermost super to be pushed laterally therefrom by means of a horizontally extending push-off arm. The frames are pushed upwardly from the super removed from the stack and are conveyed laterally into a scraping area wherein the wax is scraped from the top and bottom bars of the frames. The scraped frames are then moved laterally on the machine towards an operator who manually removes the scraped frames from the apparatus and delivers the same to a decapping machine. The operation is continuous so that successive supers are moved through the machine with the frames being removed therefrom and scraped. |
