Reliable PartnerEasy ordering process, quality products, and dedicated support for your business success.
At HONESTBEE, we engineer solutions that empower commercial beekeepers and equipment suppliers to achieve peak production efficiency. We are proud to present our specialized bee frame machine, a high-performance system designed to transform pre-cut wood strips into perfectly shaped, assembly-ready, self-spacing (Hoffman-style) side bars in a single, automated pass.
Product Overview: The HONESTBEE Bee Frame Machine
This robust machine is purpose-built to execute the specific, high-precision cuts required for modern, self-spacing bee frames. An operator simply feeds a rectangular wood piece into the machine's automated conveyor. In one seamless operation, the machine performs all the necessary shaping: it cuts the top and bottom notches for frame assembly and simultaneously mills the precise side profiles that guarantee correct bee spacing.
The primary function of this machine is to shape the assembly notches and the self-spacing side profiles (bee path) of the bee frames. A simple wood piece becomes a finished, professional-grade component, ready for immediate assembly into a complete frame.
Key Features and Design
Our bee frame machine combines industrial durability with flawless precision for a superior final product.
Heavy-Duty Construction
Built on a solid steel frame and finished with a durable black and high-visibility orange powder coat, this machine is designed for stability and a long operational life. The heavy construction minimizes vibration, ensuring every cut is clean and accurate, even during continuous, high-volume production runs.
Fully Automated Processing System
The machine features an automated, chain-driven conveyor with pneumatic clamps that securely grip and guide each wood piece. This hands-free internal process enhances operator safety and guarantees absolute consistency from the first side bar to the last.
Multiple High-Precision Shaping & Cutting Heads
At the heart of the machine are several independent, high-speed industrial motors powering a series of cutting heads synchronized to perform three critical tasks in one pass:
- Top Bar Assembly Notch: Cuts the precise notch at the top of the side bar, engineered for a perfect, strong joint when assembled with the frame's top bar.
- Bottom Bar Assembly Notch: Mills the bottom notch, designed for a secure fit with the frame's bottom bar, ensuring a square and durable final frame.
- Side Profile Shaping (Bee Path): Dedicated shaping heads mill the distinctive tapered profile on both sides of the bar, creating the self-spacing "shoulders" of Hoffman-style frames. This is essential for maintaining perfect, consistent bee space within the hive.
Intuitive Operator Control Panel
Operation is managed through a straightforward control panel with clearly labeled push buttons for activating motors and processes, along with individual and emergency stop buttons for complete control and safety.
Technical Specifications
- Construction: Industrial-grade steel frame and components.
- Power Requirements:
- Standard: 3-Phase 380V, 50Hz.
- Customizable: Can be built to order for 3-Phase 220V, 60Hz to meet the electrical standards of different regions (e.g., North America).
- Operation: Semi-automatic (manual feed, automated shaping).
- Functionality: All-in-one notching and side profile shaping for Hoffman-style bee frame side bars.
- Customization: We understand that frame designs can vary. This bee frame machine can be customized to produce special or non-standard side bar styles. Please contact us with your specific design requirements.
Unmatched Advantages for Your Business
- All-in-One Shaping Solution: Eliminates the need for multiple machines and complex setups, consolidating your entire side bar shaping process into one efficient workflow.
- Massive Increase in Production Efficiency: Drastically boosts your output, allowing you to produce hundreds of assembly-ready side bars per hour with minimal labor.
- Guaranteed Consistency for Perfect Frames: Automation removes human error, ensuring every notch and profile is identical. This leads to faster assembly and perfectly uniform frames that maintain correct bee space.
- Global Compatibility & Flexibility: With customizable voltage options and the ability to build machines for custom frame designs, we provide a solution that fits your specific operational needs, no matter where you are located.
