Ergonomics: extraction line and building layouts.

[@Cubrider]

You could literally turn that place into a field hospital. Absolutely amazing.

[@richardnoel3141]

ha its been said but I doubt it will look that clean for long. Thanks for your comment!

[@decgforce]

@13:42 get some protection on those pipes and manifolds, one awkward bump from that swivel chair and you'll have an expensive water feature. Ask me how i know ....🙄

[@MichaelCarter-e8t]

Well done. Lots of thought has gone into the build. Love the way you are doing a dry run with all the different equipment and checking the installation space. Can't wait to see the first extraction.

[@richardnoel3141]

Thanks Michael. can't wait either.

[@stefanlange4689]

I have the 120F extractor from paradise. The first time I ran it with a bit heavier frames, the steel frame inside the machine bent because it is designed to thin and with too little support between the segments. I had to design new and stronger parts in CAD and get them lasered and bent and install them. Now you have a smaller machine, but the dimensions of the frame look about the same. So you could be ok. Another thing is, the standard 180 upm or what mine did was too slow. I had to write my own program for the extraction process to get to higher speeds and to have adjustable speed up ramps. Also, my extractor does not have an angled bottom, so alot of honey will stay inside it, and getting it out at the end can be a pain. Dont know if they fixed in your machine. And lastly, the motor is too weak to start spinning with heavier frames. Now again I dont know which motor they chose for your machine, it even looks like the same size. But better be aware it could happen.

[@richardnoel3141]

Thanks Stefan, really useful comments that i will look out for. Thanks and keep in touch.

[@paulf4424]

By the time you get all the odds and sods done, the season will be with us again. On the other hand at least you'll be getting some space back in your house with all the equipment moved.

[@richardnoel3141]

yes winter is always short!! soon be putting supers back on! but hopefully more room in the house by then.

[@gallowaylights]

Wild changes and readjustment 😮

[@johniac7078]

Looks like a surgery suite!!!!! Stunning,

[@richardnoel3141]

Thanks John

[@peterblack2431]

I reckon you have the bestest man cave in the world! You've certainly works hard and planned well. Look forward to seeing it all complete and you doing your first honey run through it. Congrats.

[@richardnoel3141]

thank you Peter, Man cave but of a joke but its a great environment to feel yourself in. can't wait either.

[@rickwarner516]

Wow we all are so impressed Richard, looking forward to seeing the first run in the extractor

[@richardnoel3141]

thanks Rick. 🙏

[@abeillesmerveilles73]

Salut richard...je te dis bravo....tu es vraiment au summum....je suis impressioné de ton travail...j ai rencontré beaucoup d apiculteurs...mais j aime tellement te rencontrer...tu est pas un petit joueur....bravo....tu merite de la reussite ..

[@richardnoel3141]

Salut. Merci pour vos aimables paroles. Je me sens très chanceux que tout se passe bien. 👍🤩🙏🙏🙏

[@rodneycrow5729]

Nice honey extraction setup!! Good job and congratulations!!!

[@snowdoniahoney37]

Amazing Richard! A testament to all your planning and hard work.

[@richardnoel3141]

Thank you. 🙏

[@Bob1Cat1]

Looking forward to seeing it in action

[@richardnoel3141]

[@jmeilhan]

Can't wait to see it end of January

[@tonyfeasby1437]

Thing of beauty. V.lucky

[@richardnoel3141]

thank you, but remember, you make your owl luck!!🙏

[@mikehill9888]

Thank you for the video. Looks good and hope the process will be good for your systems and end product!!!

[@richardnoel3141]

thanks Mike. long way to go but its coming together slowly.

[@pomicultorul]

I cannot believe how much thought you put into all this and how nicely is all coming together! Congratulations my friend, we are all very happy for you, you surely deserve it!

[@richardnoel3141]

Thanks for your support. I know you've been following for along time. I appreciate it!🙏

[@pomicultorul]

@@richardnoel3141 Once again, I am mesmerized by your energy and work ethics and I think this is not just passion/love for bees it is... good stuff you are made of! Stay healthy my friend and indulge us with more videos; we'll be here and whether we comment or not rest assured we are always grateful!

[@phillipduncan2497]

Nice arrangement. Look forward to seeing it i action. Hope to say hello in Louisville next month.

[@richardnoel3141]

Hi Phillip, thanks for your comment. sadly I wont be in USA for the NAHBE next January. may be the year after. Hope you have a great time there.its an awesome event.

[@robertwattam947]

Brilliant Richard thank you

[@richardnoel3141]

Thanks Robert!

[@hevchip741]

Loads of great toys and how smooth were those wheels, great.

[@richardnoel3141]

yes it was smooth, just got lucky think!🙏

[@Manu-gd5qt]

Great for the next harvest. Be careful with the sockets against sandwich panels, few people are aware of it but if any problem occurs, insurance companies may refuse to cover it.

[@richardnoel3141]

Thanks Manu, yes all noted. but who knows . will let you know.

[@Manu-gd5qt]

@@richardnoel3141French switch, je l'ai appris par hasard lors de la construction de m miellerie, voir :"installations électriques et panneaux sandwichs " édité par groupama. Il faut déporter tous les éléments à risque de chauffe. Contraignant et très peu esthétique. Je ne sais pas si c'est un obligation car tout le monde ne le fait pas...

​@@Manu-gd5qt j'ai envoyé le document à mon électricien au cas où il y aurait des points en suspens. il faudra peut-être isoler les câbles qui traversent le mur avec une gaine spéciale. je ne sais pas. mais merci quand même.

[@HoneyMarketingBoard]

Looking Good.

[@richardnoel3141]

thank you

[@johnmorgan9435]

Looking good Richard. Looks like the Paradise Honey line tech. has changed little in 20years (other than the capings 'rocket' thing).Pity there are no 'bee escapes' in the extraction room, other than relying on funneling them into a side room which has an exterior window/wall, I'd like to see how that works out. Where are your honey storage tanks and pumps...or did you cover that in another vid?

[@richardnoel3141]

John, hi. wont be "funnelling bees in to the other room because they will see the majority be staying in there. next to the window where they are initially brought in. yes there's a few things to sort out re that yes but in my previous workshop its only a minor issue in most cases.you will see how that works out. all honey goes straight in to barrels . that's my storage tanks. All barrels are easily movable on my barrel trolley. Its going to be a bit of tria; and error for sure in their first couple of seasons. thanks for the questions.

[@sidelinerbeekeeper]

Outstanding, what a beautiful work space. Your new building and kit would cost an easy million in Canada. Us over here couldn't afford it with a 2000 hive business. I totally live in the wro g country. Our government financially screws us poor.

[@richardnoel3141]

Hi, well it's a bit overkill but I really wanted to invest in something that will last a few years and be a good tidy and clean space. thanks.

[@hootervillehoneybees8664]

I'm going to just do comb honey I think skip the honey house part . It's not regulated until it's cut . I can sell whole frame comb honey for 40.00ea and not have to worry about regs . It's just fresh produce uncut . Makes it way more easy to get into large markets without the red tape. I took a class on it so I'd know the laws . Asked bunch of questions about it as well.

[@richardnoel3141]

great, hope it works out for you. There's no regs here as such but because I will shortly be bottling for a supermarket its worth getting near to that level , the. you're always covered.

[@davidryle1164]

It's looking really nice Richard. Do you sell all of your honey direct, or do you move a percentage through a packer/distributor?

[@richardnoel3141]

thanks David, I sell some locally and soon will be supplying a local supermarket. but its all in my own jars now.

[@stevesoutdoorworld4340]

Fun build Richard! How long before we get to see the whole operation with live honey run? How many hives do you plan on running when all said and done?😁

[@richardnoel3141]

Hi Steve, should be next May when I do the first full extraction. lots to get done before then. about 250/300. don't intend to run more for the moment beause simply, I don't have too.

[@edbutler6899]

Hi Noel, what pollen dryer are you going to buy?, looking at buying one myself in January:-)

[@richardnoel3141]

Hi Ed, I have a medium sized Konigan pollen dryer which is also a Honey warmer. Better to have a machine that can do both. here's the link to the one I have. konigin.com.pl/en/bee-pollen-processing/89-20-shelves-pollen-dryer-and-warming-cabinet.html

[@edbutler6899]

Thanks a million Noel, keep the videos coming and happy Xmas👍👍

[@alanporter2694]

What honey yield are you expecting to put through your line?

[@richardnoel3141]

a few tons a year. all depends on a lot of things. will only be running it on 250/280 hives for this coming year.

[@charley3850]

How many plugs?

[@richardnoel3141]

you can never have too many plugs.

[@janist553]

Maybe I wrong, but in market there are not same eqipment for wax melting as it is in honey extraction... lines Ok for 500...1000 coll. All maters how much wax you can melt in one working day..20..100.. 200kg

[@richardnoel3141]

Hello, yes I see your point, but I built the whole unit so don't have reach a specific targets if I don't want to. The line will only be used for 250/280 colonies at the moment and that's fine for me. I have a good wax melter that you havent seen yet so I will be doing a video on that in the future.

[@janist553]

@richardnoel3141 thanks for Yours' answer and TIME that you share for as!

[@borisfridlender8286]

Richard, I am missing something, or your line is not complete. You have a box lifter but don't have the rack, table, or roller conveyor to put the box of honey on before you grab frame by frame to fit the uncapped. Also, how do you move the empty boxes from one side of the line to another? Needs a roller conveyor,I guess.

[@richardnoel3141]

Hi Boris, there is a decaping table that will in front of the machine at the start end, yes I failed to mention that.Sorry. Roller conveyor may be added , if not will stack all supers on pallets of half sized pallets to be move to the other end of the line. yes all very valid points, Thank you🙏

[@Cubrider]

Is the disc in the electric meter water cooled😂

[@richardnoel3141]

lol

[@randyzapp9309]

You forgot to run your wires for surround sound for TV lol

[@3Beehivesto300]

Water drain needs a grease trap of you will clog your line with wax

[@richardnoel3141]

thanks, we shall see.

[@3Beehivesto300]

@ I saw it on a Bob Bonnie video.

[@killianmurphy4616]

How fast time flies, it only feels like you were walking us through your plans in an empty field a few months ago. Have you any plan to put a lean-to at the front of the building?

[@richardnoel3141]

Thanks Killian, at the moment it's a no go. have to be careful with funds. Solar panels on the roof have to come first if there's any remaining funds. Yes its two years ago when the first soil was dug for the start of the foundations.🙏
