Uncapping Tools
Proper uncapping is essential for efficient honey extraction. HillCo offers:
- Uncapping knives
- Uncapping forks
- Uncapping tanks
These tools help remove wax cappings cleanly and efficiently while minimizing comb damage.
Honey Filters, Sieves & Strainers
Filtering removes wax particles and debris before bottling. HillCo’s honey filters and strainers help improve clarity while maintaining honey’s natural texture and flavor.
Bottling Buckets & Honey Gates
Controlled bottling is essential for accuracy and cleanliness. HillCo bottling buckets and honey gates allow smooth, drip-free dispensing and consistent jar fills.
Wax Melters & Wax Processing Tools
Wax cappings can be efficiently processed using HillCo’s wax melters and related wax-handling tools, allowing beekeepers to recover usable beeswax instead of discarding it.
Settling Tanks, Storage Containers & Fittings
Settling tanks and food-grade storage containers allow honey to rest after filtering so air bubbles and fine particles can rise before bottling. HillCo also offers compatible fittings for safe and controlled honey transfer.
