We do now a slow, hard manual process. We freeze the meshes and then, one by one, fold it , roll it, twist it ... and the like by hand on top of a big wooden tray, till most of the propolis is breaked out, dislodged from the meshes. A person might clean up to 50 meshes per day.


Is it possible your not freezing it hard enough?   There are many levels of frozen.  Just a thought,  but if its frozen real hard,  could you run it thru a roller of sorts and crush the propolis so it breaks off better??  I am thinking a sheet metal roller in my head,  it would need to be chilled though.
