We've drastically improved our E8 series with this new 2nd generation model! Featuring improved construction and a BOTTOM DRIVE design, the new E8 stands head and shoulders above any other extractor in its class!

We're turning honey extracting "upside down" with this updated machine! Instead of mounting the motor and drive system up on top, we've moved it down underneath. This design brings major benefits: lower center of gravity for BETTER BALANCE, way easier loading/unloading of frames thanks to wider lids and a narrower top bar, and a cleaner overall look.

The E8 also boasts our very popular Ez-Drain tank design that sets HillCo extractors apart from the rest! The tank floor slopes toward the honey gate, moving the honey towards the drain, and the drain itself is mounted flush with the tank floor, for easy, effortless draining of the honey into your bucket. No mess, no fuss, the way it should be!

Design and final assembly in USA by HillCo!

Looks good haven’t got to use it probably won’t

Looks good haven’t got to use it probably won’t use it till next year only thing I can see is motor doesn’t look like it’s built as heavy as the 9 frame

That’s one skookum extractor.

Great bang for the buck on the E8 with THE MOTOR ON THE BOTTOM! Yes you read that correctly. You can open the loading doors ALL THE WAY so they’re not in the way. It’s well designed, expertly crafted, and quiet as a church mouse. The basket is stainless steel- no plastic. The spring feet makes for smooth running when frames are not balanced. Oh yeah this is a keeper.

So happy with this purchase !

I bought this and the spring feet and it was delivered just the other day! It was the new version with the bottom mount motor. Holy cow this thing is so smooth. I loaded 8 frames and didn't even pay attention to balancing them. Cranked it to 360 and it wobbled for about 5 seconds until the springs get the right frequency. I didn't have the springs bolted to anything, but the extractor didn't budge at all. Very very quiet, the honey and wax hitting the sides makes more noise than anything.
The sloped floor to the gate is so nice for getting all the honey with minimal effort, and also for cleaning.

Love this extractor!

We just finished extracting 7 boxes of frames and this extractor was a game changer! Worked like a charm!
