> In a high end spinner/spinfloat (continuous type that does not rely on screen, perforated drum or baskets of cappings), do the pollen grains tend to end up in the honey or wax output? Not that I am aware of, and I'm sure I'd hear if pollen was a problem. Pat at Cook and Beals could tell you. http://www.cooknbeals.com/separator.php U.S. Patent #: 3217979 Canadian Patent #: 723027 > In the case of the Maxant 7000, the incoming slurry drops into the spinning 'donut' in the honey zone. Bits of wax migrate inward to the wax zone. Clean honey is drawn off from the bottom outside edge of the spinning drum. My hope is that virtually all of the pollen grains exit with the honey. I think the spin=float draws from the outside, too, after the honey flows over several radial baffles. Just guessing, can't find the diagram. *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
