This category includes the different types of valves and taps used in beekeeping, these valves are used in all types of machinery beekeeping, especially in honey extractors, settling tanks, buckets, etc.
Each product page includes its description, price and further details.
CURIOSITY:
The valve nomenclature for honey responds to the gas thread standard. In beekeeping the most common valves are:The most common are: ball (simple and easy to clean), butterfly (closes very watertight for large flows) and guillotine (clean yarn cutting, ideal for packaging).
Mainly food plastic (light and economic) and Stainless steel (robust, sanitary and corrosion resistant).
In beekeeping are very common Ø40 mm (21/2") and Ø50 mm (2"), with threaded variants (male/female) or for welding in tanks and settling tanks.
Make a hole of the indicated diameter, place the gasket, insert the body of the tap and squeeze until a seat is achieved I've a sto. Check that it opens/closes soft and without leakage.
Yes. There are taps and Adapters specific for coupling hose and facilitating transfer to drums or tanks.
It is a closure and joint design that minimizes residual drops by cutting the flow, keeping the work area cleaner.
The guillotine stays in packaging for the net cutting of the thread. Ball is multi-purpose for deposits/transfer. Butterfly it offers great tightness and control in high flow rates.
Use the correct joint, align the faucet, squeeze without deforming, and periodically check together and screws. Replace worn components.
It disassembles after season, washes with hot water and food detergent, rinses and dries well. Avoid abrasives. In stainless steel, check screws and, if applicable, lubricate shafts with Food grade.
As a guide: Ø40 mm for medium deposits and artisan packaging; Ø50 mm for settling tanks large or faster lines.
With suitable adapters, many stainless steel taps are used for water, oil or other food liquids. Check compatibility and avoid cross-contamination.
Persistent drips despite adjusting, sled joints, excessive play on the shaft or wear that prevents a clean cut of the flow.
