UNCAPPING MACHINE WITH HEATED VIBRATING KNIVES The "Giordan" uncapping machine with heated vibrating knives is a professional machine that replaces the manual uncapping process. The machine is made entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel and works by guiding the frames through two water-heated vibrating knives to obtain a precise and optimal cut of the operculum. With the uncapping machine the opercula are not crumbled but cut, as with the use of a manual knife. With the addition of the double blade kit (charged separately) there is no need to re-uncup the frames after the uncapping process. The knives are heated by a hot water heating and recycling unit (included in the machine) and the temperature of the knives can be regulated by a thermostat. The knives also work inside the wooden frame of the combs and can therefore uncaulk even unfilled frames. Knife adjustment is quick and easy by means of a lever located on the side of the uncapping machine that allows tightening or widening the passage between the knives. The combs introduced manually are automatically guided and inserted between the blades to obtain regular and systematic uncapping on both sides.
