DADANT M00418 32-FRAME EXTRACTOR
The Dadant newly re-designed 32-frame extractor now has
an integral leg system and newly designed reel

ASSEMBLY

The Dadant 32-frame Radial Extractor comes completely assembled, ready to be uncrated, cleaned, and put to work. For
proper operation, the extractor must be securely attached to the floor by all three hold-down pads – one on each leg. Be
sure all three feet sit on the floor (no extractor rocking) before securing the extractor to the floor.

OPERATION

The concept of the radial extractor has saved more time and more combs for beekeepers than any other invention to reach
the industry. Radial extractors are the quickest, easiest, and most efficient way to extract honey from the comb. Uncapped
combs are placed in the circular reel like spokes of a wheel. The reel spins, creating a centrifugal force and because of the
natural upward slant of the honeycomb cells, honey is thrown from both sides of the comb at once. No further handling of
the frames is needed from starting to unloading time, freeing the operator for other work such as uncapping combs for the
next load. With radial extractors, the outward pressure is against the top bar, not against the comb surface as in small, non-
radial models, eliminating much of the breakage of the combs.
Dadant is pleased to provide you with the latest in electronic speed controls. The control on your extractor is the product
of much development and testing and is designed for only one purpose – controlling honey extractors. Please see attached
operational information regarding the speed control.
The manual hand brake provides a positive means of slowing and stopping reel rotation.
