HONESTBEE, a dedicated wholesale supplier to commercial apiaries and beekeeping equipment distributors, proudly presents our specialized Beehive Handle and Frame Rest Cutting Machine. This advanced hive machine is engineered to precisely craft two essential features on beehive box boards: the semi-circular recessed inner handle and the frame rest groove (also known as a rebate or ledge).
Hive Machine Overview and Design
This Beehive Handle and Frame Rest Cutting Machine, a robust hive machine, showcases a professional, industrial design built for durability and consistent performance.
- Construction: The hive machine features a heavy-duty steel frame, predominantly finished in a high-visibility yellow with black accents on the main table and base. This sturdy construction ensures stability during operation and longevity in a workshop environment.
- Operational Area: The central part of the hive machine is designed to securely hold and process wooden hive boards. A yellow safety guard is strategically placed over the cutting area to protect the operator.
- Control Panel: A user-friendly control panel is conveniently located on the right side, featuring clearly labeled push-buttons for various functions (e.g., start, stop, emergency stop), allowing for intuitive operation of the hive machine.
- Dual Cutting Mechanisms: This hive machine is ingeniously designed with two independent cutting systems:
- One for creating the semi-circular recessed inner handle.
- One for milling the frame rest groove along the top inner edge of the hive board. These are powered by two dedicated 3KW motors, enabling both operations to be performed simultaneously on a single board, significantly boosting production efficiency for this type of hive machine.
Key Features and Functionality of this Hive Machine
This integrated hive machine offers a streamlined solution for critical beehive component manufacturing:
- Dual-Purpose Operation: Simultaneously cuts the recessed handle and the frame rest groove on hive body boards that have already been prepared with dovetail joints or finger joints.
- High-Power Motors: Equipped with two robust 3KW motors, ensuring this hive machine has ample power for clean and precise cuts in various wood types.
- Precision Cutting: Delivers consistent, accurately dimensioned handles and grooves, crucial for the proper assembly and functionality of beehives produced with this hive machine.
- Efficient Workflow: The ability to perform two operations at once drastically reduces handling time and increases throughput.
- Safety Features: Includes a prominent safety guard over the cutting zone to prevent accidental contact with the blades.
- Dust Extraction Ready: This hive machine is designed for connection to a dust extraction system to maintain a cleaner working environment and improve visibility.
