Thomas Cowan has been credited as the designer of the cylindrical honey extractor.

A honey extractor is a mechanical device used in the honey extraction.

The uncapped frames are then placed in a honey extractor, which spins them so that most of the honey is removed by centrifugal force.

Before the invention of the honey extractor almost all honey produced was in the form of comb honey.

The honeycomb is removed from the hive and the honey is extracted from that, often using a honey extractor.

A honey extractor extracts the honey from the honey comb without destroying the comb.

The structure of the comb may be left basically intact when honey is extracted from it by uncapping and spinning in a centrifugal machine-the honey extractor.

They aim to promote small-scale technologies and techniques suitable to Senegal's level of economic development; for example, Vietnamese beekeepers introduced Senegalese farmers to manually driven centrifugal honey extractors and Vietnamese-style concrete beehives.

In prehistoric Greece (Crete and Mycenae), there existed a system of high-status apiculture, as can be concluded from the finds of hives, smoking pots, honey extractors and other beekeeping paraphernalia in Knossos.
