We're constantly launching new products here at HillCo, but some of them are a really BIG DEAL. This new product is one of those! It's the kind of thing we love around here; simple and affordable, but packs a big punch. Here's a fact: ANY extractor, no matter how well balanced it is, can and will wobble with a load of honey frames. No two frames of honey weigh the same, and no matter how hard you try to balance the frames, your extractor will likely wobble and shake when spinning. Often you aren't able to run your extractor up to full speed due to the wobble, which means longer extracting times and possibly getting less honey out of the combs, because you can't reach high enough speeds to sling all the honey out. These spring feet will bolt to your extractor in minutes, but can save you hours of extracting time. Not only do they virtually eliminate the struggles of extractor wobble/vibration due to imbalanced honey frames, you'll also dramatically reduce extracting time by being able to ramp up to full speed almost immediately. No more hanging on to your extractor for dear life, and NO NEED to bolt your machine to the floor! Whether you're extracting in your kitchen, garage, or honey house, our new Spring Feet Assemblies can stabilize your extractor quickly and easily, making your extracting process faster AND far more enjoyable. If your extractor has a single bolt hole in the leg foot, these spring assemblies should fit! They require a 5/16" hole (or close to that). Our spring feet assemblies comes in three sizes: Small size: fits 4 frame to 12 frame extractors - including our Enduro, E8, MiniMax, and Maxx12 extractor models Medium size: fits 16 to 20 frame extractors - including our UltraMax, Maxx18, and Maxx21 Large size: fits 20-36 frame extractors - including our SuperMax, Maxx24, Maxx32, and Maxx36 Say goodbye to extractor wobble and shake, and hello to smoother extracting! Contact us if you have questions about which size to get for your best experience. Watch the video included below to learn how it works. Pro Tip: Because springs exaggerate the wobble at slow speeds, you cannot start them slowly; you must begin at a higher speed. With spring feet, you need to turn your speed to high and then hit Run to start the machine. The extractor will gain speed quickly and you should see the wobble decrease as the centrifugal forces pull everything back to the center, much like your washing machine on the spin cycle.
