Honey Extraction Cost - £5 per hire Duration - Peak demand no more than 2 days, otherwise quieter times no more than a week Collection - The hirer must collect and deliver the extractor back to the custodian Terms and condition The hirer is responsible for cleaning the extractor by rinsing a lot of hot water through and wiping all internals. You MUST NOT use any cleaning detergents as this could taint the honey next extracted or use anything abrasive. PLEASE DO NOT allow the volume of honey collecting in the bottom to rise high enough into the spinning mechanism. *** 3 BRAND NEW for 2018 *** We have invested £1000 in purchasing 3 new extractors for our members to hire. 1 x Table Top Extractor 4 frame tangential The ideal starter extractor for the hobbyist beekeeper with up to five hives as it will hold 18 lbs. of honey before the honey valve must be opened.
