HONESTBEE, a dedicated wholesale supplier to commercial apiaries and beekeeping equipment distributors, proudly presents our robust Top Bar and Bottom Bar Forming Machine. This specialized bee frame machine is engineered to efficiently and accurately manufacture the top and bottom bars for beehive frames from raw wooden strips. This bee frame making machine expertly performs the necessary shaping and cutting operations to produce high-quality frame components, ready for the subsequent grooving process if required.
Professional Design & Durable Construction
The HONESTBEE Top Bar and Bottom Bar Forming Machine, a prime example of a professional-grade bee frame making machine, is built with a focus on professional-grade performance and enduring durability. Its sturdy construction, typically featuring a black and orange powder-coated steel frame, ensures stability during operation and a long service life in demanding production environments.
- Heavy-Duty Framework: The machine's solid steel base and frame minimize vibration, contributing to precise cutting and shaping.
- Quality Components: All operational parts, including motors, saw blades, knives, and pneumatic elements, are selected for their reliability and longevity.
- User-Friendly Control Panel: The machine is equipped with an intuitive control panel featuring clearly labeled buttons for power, motor activation, and emergency stop, ensuring straightforward and safe operation. Safety warning labels are also clearly visible.
- Efficient Material Handling: The design incorporates a pneumatic clamping system to securely hold the wood strip during processing, followed by a precise cutting carriage.
Advanced Functionality & Operational Efficiency
This advanced bee frame making machine is designed to take pre-cut wooden strips and transform them into perfectly shaped and sized top or bottom bars (excluding the internal groove for foundation, which requires our separate Grooving Machine).
- Integrated Shaping and Cutting:
- Shaping: Equipped with four precision knives, the machine carves the required profiles onto the wooden strips.
- Cutting to Length: Two robust saw blades perform accurate cross-cuts, ensuring the top and bottom bars are cut to the precise specified length.
- Powerful Multi-Motor System: The machine is driven by a total of six electric motors (four 2.2KW motors and two 4KW motors). This configuration provides ample power for all shaping and cutting operations, allowing for consistent performance even with various wood types.
- Precision Processing: The machine processes wood strips into accurately dimensioned top or bottom bars, typically for lengths such as 483mm or 448mm, which are common for Langstroth frames.
- Operational Sequence: The operator places a wooden strip onto the machine bed. A pneumatic clamp secures the wood. The operator then initiates the cutting cycle, where the saw blade assembly travels across the wood, cutting it to the precise length and shaping the ends as required.
- Output Efficiency: The machine can produce approximately 360 formed top or bottom bars per hour. This output can be significantly increased if two machines are used in tandem, particularly for top bars, by eliminating the need to flip the material for shaping both sides.
- Power Requirements: Designed for industrial application, the machine requires a 3-phase power supply. The standard is 380V, but customization to 3-phase 220V is available to suit diverse regional electrical standards.
- Pneumatic System: Requires an air pressure of ≥0.7 Mpa (customer to provide their own air pump) for the clamping and other automated functions.
Grooving - A Separate, Complementary Process
It's important to note that this "Top Bar and Bottom Bar Forming Machine" (a type of bee frame machine) produces the shaped and cut-to-length bars. To create the internal groove necessary for installing wax or plastic foundation, a separate Top Bar and Bottom Bar Grooving Machine is required. HONESTBEE also manufactures and supplies this complementary grooving machine.
