To pump out honey, you need a special device - honey extractor.
The price of such a device is not low, so not everyone can buy it.
This article will discuss how to make honey extractor with your own hands.
How it works?
Honey is pumped by the action of centrifugal force. 
It happens as follows:
- honeycombs are printed using a special knife;
- then they are inserted into cassettes that hold the frame during the process;
- the rotor rotates and honey is thrown on the inner surface of the honey extractor;
- it then flows to the bottom and into the hole to be drained.
