Quarti 25cm Honey Press & Warre Extractor

Process natural honeycomb with a robust manual press designed for serious small-scale use using the Quarti 25cm Honey Press from Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies.

Manufactured by Quarti Beekeeping in Bergamo, Italy, this heavy-duty press provides a practical alternative to centrifugal extraction when working with Warre comb, unwired wax, cappings or broken honeycomb.

Hornsby Beekeeping Supplies is the exclusive Australian importer of Quarti products, making this press part of a specialist European equipment range available to Australian beekeepers.

Built for Crush-and-Press Honey Extraction

The operating principle is straightforward.

Raw honeycomb is loaded into the pressing cage and gradually compressed.

Pressure releases honey from the cells, leaving a compacted mass of wax that can be removed and processed separately.

This approach is particularly suitable for Warre beekeeping because natural comb may not contain the wire reinforcement needed to withstand spinning in a conventional extractor.

25cm Pressing Diameter

The press has a 25cm diameter, giving it greater working capacity than very small hobby presses while keeping the equipment suitable for manual operation.

It can be used for:

• Warre frames and comb
• Cappings from extracted frames
• Burr comb
• Broken honeycomb
• Small numbers of conventional frames where pressing is preferred

For a sideliner or enthusiast who regularly accumulates wax containing residual honey, pressing can help recover product that might otherwise be lost.

Manufactured by Quarti in Italy

Quarti is an established Italian beekeeping equipment manufacturer.

The press is designed as a solid, durable piece of processing equipment rather than a disposable or lightweight kitchen tool.

Its traditional screw-press mechanism provides controlled mechanical pressure without electricity.

That can make it suitable for smaller honey rooms where simplicity and long service life are priorities.

Also Suitable for Fruit Pressing

The same 25cm press can be used by hobby cider makers or other users processing suitable fruit.

Clean equipment thoroughly between different food-processing uses.

Cleaning After Honey Processing

Once pressing is complete, unwind the mechanism and remove the steel cage.

Warm or hot water can help soften wax stuck to the cage so it can be scraped away.

Remaining wax can then be rinsed with cold water, drained and retained for later melting or beeswax processing.

Dry all components before reassembly and storage.

For Warre beekeepers who want a heavier-duty pressing solution, the Quarti 25cm Honey Press provides a versatile manual option.
