HONESTBEE, a dedicated wholesale supplier to commercial apiaries and beekeeping equipment distributors, presents our specialized Top Bar and Bottom Bar Grooving Machine. This robustly engineered unit, a vital component in any bee frame making machine setup, is designed to accurately and efficiently cut the groove (or slot) in beehive frame top bars and bottom bars. This precision groove is essential for the secure and straightforward installation of plastic or wax foundation sheets, a critical step in modern beekeeping and efficient use of any bee frame machine.
Professional Design & Durable Construction
The HONESTBEE Top and Bottom Bar Grooving Machine, a professional-grade bee frame machine component, features a professional and compact design, built for continuous operation and longevity. The machine has a sturdy yellow and black powder-coated steel frame, ensuring stability and resistance to wear in a workshop environment.
- Solid Construction: The machine's frame and components are manufactured from high-quality materials to withstand the rigors of daily production.
- User-Friendly Controls: The control panel is equipped with straightforward push buttons for power, motor start/stop, and emergency stop functions, ensuring ease of operation and safety. Warning labels regarding electrical safety are also prominently displayed.
- Compact Footprint: Designed to be efficient in terms of space, allowing for easy integration into existing production lines where other bee frame making machine processes occur.
Advanced Functionality & Operational Efficiency
This specialized bee frame machine is specifically engineered to create a precise internal groove along the length of wooden top or bottom bars for beehive frames, a crucial step for any comprehensive bee frame making machine line.
- Dedicated Grooving Operation: A single, powerful 1.5KW motor drives a specialized cutting tool. This tool is designed to cut an internal groove to the required width and depth.
- Customizable Cutting Tool: The cutting tool can be customized to achieve the precise groove dimensions (width and depth) needed by the client, ensuring perfect compatibility with their chosen foundation type.
- Adjustable Material Input:
- Wood Width: Typically accommodates wood widths ranging from 19mm to 26mm.
- Wood Thickness: Generally designed for wood thickness around 10mm.
- Customization: Both the acceptable wood width and thickness can be customized to meet specific client requirements for various frame styles.
- Pneumatic System: Requires an air pressure of ≥0.7 Mpa (air pump to be self-provided by the customer). This system is used for material clamping or feeding mechanisms to ensure consistent and secure processing.
- High Output: The machine is capable of processing approximately 600 top or bottom bars per hour, making it a highly efficient solution for large-scale production within a bee frame machine workflow.
- Power Requirements: Operates on a 3-phase power supply, with 380V as the standard configuration. Customization to 3-phase 220V is available to accommodate different regional power standards.
- Operational Process: The operator feeds some top or bottom bars into the machine. The machine then automatically guides the bar past the cutting tool to create the groove, and the processed bar exits on the other side.
