HONESTBEE, a leading wholesale supplier catering to commercial apiaries and beekeeping equipment distributors, introduces the specialized Side Bar Slicer. This machine is engineered as the perfect companion to our Bee Frame Side Bar Forming Machine, or as a standalone unit for businesses that already possess side bar forming capabilities from their existing bee frame machine. Its primary function is to take pre-formed side bar blanks and precisely slice them into individual, ready-to-assemble side bar pieces, significantly enhancing production efficiency for beehive frames and complementing any bee hive frame machine setup.

Professional Design & Durable Construction
The HONESTBEE Side Bar Slicer, an essential part of an advanced bee frame making machine system, embodies a professional and robust design, clearly visible in its sturdy orange and black powder-coated steel frame. Built for the demands of continuous commercial operation, this machine prioritizes durability, stability, and minimal maintenance. Key features include:
- Heavy-Duty Frame: Ensures vibration-free operation for consistent cutting accuracy.
- Quality Components: Utilizes industrial-grade parts for longevity and reliability.
- Operator Safety: Incorporates an accessible control panel with clear start, stop, and emergency stop buttons, along with necessary safety guards.
- Efficient Feeding System: The machine employs multiple blue rollers to firmly grip and smoothly feed the pre-formed side bar blanks through the cutting assembly.
Advanced Functionality & Operational Efficiency
The Side Bar Slicer is optimized for high-speed, precision cutting of formed side bar blanks into multiple individual pieces, a critical function for any high-output bee frame machine.
- High-Powered Cutting: Equipped with a powerful 11KW motor, the machine drives a gang of saw blades, ensuring clean and efficient slicing through the wood blanks.
- Multiple Saw Blade Configuration: The machine typically comes with 15 or 16 high-quality saw blades. The number of blades can be customized based on the desired width of the individual side bars and the width of the incoming pre-formed blank. This allows for the simultaneous cutting of multiple side bars from a single blank.
- Precision Slicing: Designed to accurately slice pre-formed side bar blanks (typically 35mm in width before slicing) into individual side bars of consistent thickness.
- High Throughput: While the forming machine produces approximately 1200 side bar blanks per hour, this slicer, as part of a complete bee frame making machine line, is designed to keep pace, processing these blanks efficiently. If a blank yields, for example, 10 individual side bars, the slicer can contribute to an output of up to 12,000 individual side bars per hour when fed continuously.
- Standard Processing Dimensions:
- Length: Accommodates common side bar lengths such as 232mm or 159mm. Customizable to specific requirements.
- Incoming Blank Thickness: Typically processes blanks that are 35mm thick.
- Power Requirements: Operates on a 3-phase power supply, with 380V as standard. Customization to 3-phase 220V is available to suit different regional electrical systems.
- Pneumatic System: Requires an air pressure of ≥0.7 Mpa (air pump to be self-provided by the customer) for automated feeding and clamping mechanisms, ensuring consistent operation.
Seamless Integration & Standalone Capability
The Side Bar Slicer is engineered to work seamlessly with our HONESTBEE Bee Frame Side Bar Forming Machine, creating a complete bee hive frame machine production line for side bars. However, if you already have a forming machine that produces compatible side bar blanks, this slicer can be purchased as a standalone unit to enhance your existing bee frame making machine setup.
Customization to Meet Diverse Beekeeping Needs
HONESTBEE understands that beekeeping practices and frame dimensions vary globally. Therefore, we offer extensive customization for the Side Bar Slicer, a versatile bee frame machine component:
- Frame Type Compatibility: Can be configured to produce side bars suitable for Langstroth, British Standard, Dadant, or any other specialized or custom hive frame designs.
- Dimensional Adjustments: The number of saw blades can be adjusted to alter the final thickness/number of side bars cut from each blank. Processing lengths are also customizable.
Applications & Target Audience
This machine is indispensable for:
- Large-Scale Commercial Beekeepers: Who wish to control their supply chain by producing frame components in-house with their own bee frame making machine system, ensuring quality and reducing costs.
- Beekeeping Equipment Manufacturers & Distributors: Requiring a high-capacity, reliable solution for mass-producing side bars for frame assembly and sale as part of their bee hive frame machine offerings.
Value Proposition
Investing in the HONESTBEE Side Bar Slicer, a key element of an efficient bee frame machine production line, delivers substantial benefits:
- Maximized Productivity: Dramatically increases the output of finished side bars.
- Reduced Labor Costs: Automation minimizes manual handling and cutting.
- Consistent & Accurate Cuts: Ensures uniformity in side bar thickness for easier frame assembly and hive management.
- Operational Flexibility: Adaptable to various frame specifications and existing bee frame making machine lines.
- Long-Term Reliability: Robust construction ensures a long service life with proper maintenance.
