Heated Copper Blade for Efficient Uncapping

The Maxant Uncapping Plane features a heated copper cutting blade designed to make removing beeswax cappings easier.

As the blade heats, it helps soften and cut through the thin layer of wax covering the honey-filled cells.

Simply pull the plane across the capped honeycomb to remove the wax cappings and prepare the frame for honey extraction.

The heated cutting action helps reduce the effort required compared with using an unheated blade.

Adjustable Cutting Depth

One of the key features of the Maxant Electric Uncapping Plane is its adjustable cutting depth.

Honey frames can have different amounts of wax extending beyond the wooden frame, making it helpful to control how much material is removed during uncapping.

The adjustable blade allows you to set the cutting depth to suit the honeycomb.

This helps you:

• Remove wax cappings efficiently.

• Adjust for different honeycomb surfaces.

• Avoid unnecessarily deep cuts into the drawn comb.

• Maintain better control over the uncapping process.

Beekeeping Tip: Adjust the cutting depth to remove the wax cappings without unnecessarily cutting into the underlying honeycomb. Preserving drawn comb can reduce the amount of repair work bees need to complete before refilling the cells.

Durable Rock Maple Wooden Handle

The Maxant Uncapping Plane features a rock maple wooden handle, providing a sturdy grip during honey harvesting.

Rock maple is a durable hardwood, making it well suited for a tool intended for repeated use.

The handle provides a comfortable gripping surface while guiding the heated plane across the honeycomb.

Replaceable Heating Element

The Maxant Electric Uncapping Plane is equipped with a long-lasting heating element that can be replaced through the manufacturer.

This is a useful feature for beekeepers looking for equipment that can be maintained over time.

Rather than replacing the entire tool if the heating element eventually requires service, a replacement element may be obtained through Maxant.

Please Note: Replacement heating elements are supplied through the manufacturer and are not stated to be included with the uncapping plane.

Built-In On/Off Switch

The electrical cord features a built-in on/off switch, allowing you to switch the heater on or off without unplugging the tool each time.

This provides convenient control during honey harvesting.

Always switch the unit off and disconnect it from power when finished using it or before cleaning.

Important: An on/off switch does not automatically regulate blade temperature. Monitor the heated blade during use and follow the manufacturer's operating instructions.

1. Prepare Your Workspace: Set up a honey uncapping tank or suitable collection tray.

2. Position Your Honey Frame: Secure a capped honey frame on an uncapping stand.

6. Switch On the Heater: Allow the copper cutting blade to reach a suitable working temperature.

7. Begin Uncapping: Carefully pull the heated plane across the capped honeycomb.

8. Remove the Wax Cappings: Use controlled movements to expose the honey cells without cutting unnecessarily deep into the comb.

9. Repeat as Needed: Continue until the capped honey cells are opened on both sides of the frame.

10. Extract Your Honey: Place the uncapped frame into your honey extractor.

11. Switch Off & Unplug: Disconnect the unit when finished.

12. Cool & Clean: Allow the blade to cool completely before cleaning and storing according to the manufacturer's instructions.
