Development and Testing of Power-cum-Hand Operated Radial Honey Extractor

A power-cum-hand operated eight frame radial honey extractor was developedand field evaluatedat different locations on meUiferous honey. A 0.37 KW electric motor operated eight frame radial honey extractor was provided with an inbuilt strainer for primary filtration with an optimized rotational speed of 165 rpm.
