Dear All!

I also have a Maxant series 1700 uncapping machine in use for the past 2
years. I prefer chains because there is no extra heat involved during the
processing of my honey crop. I have found the following:

1. Nine frames DO work better with this uncapper

2. Your frames ALLWAYS have to be of good quality and well maintained,
otherwise the chains will grab the wires and destroy the frame.

3. The thickness of the super combs becomes more uniform with time, which
helps the bees in building a thicker comb.

4. Extra wax to process = extra income.:-)

5. On the down side - there are small wax particles in the honey, but I am
investing in a capping spinner, also from Maxant which I as sure is going
to solve the problem.

In short: I do not want to be without my uncapper!

Sincerely,

GLEN.
