This study was carried out on honey extractor with eight moving baskets to evaluate three methods for modification of this extractor (The most prevalent in Egypt) to radial extractor as following:-The first method, (1) Possibility to temporary modify of honey extractor with moving baskets to radial extractor, with retaining all components and parts of this extractor, by fixing the moving basket in the direction of the extractor radius by iron wire is n-shaped. So the honey are extracted from

... h sides of the honeycomb once at the same time. ( 2 ) The honeycomb head should be placed beside the moving axis of the basket, so do not break the combs. The second method, modify of the extractor with moving baskets to radial extractor is easy to jaw and installation and have twice the number of baskets, by making three circles of iron for fixed the baskets in the direction of the extractor radius, (1) With the present number of 8 baskets only, will save more than twice the time. ( 2 ) With the number twice of 16 baskets, it provides four times for the extractor with moving baskets. The third method, the modification to radial extractor without baskets, by making three circles of iron for fixed the combs (16 combs) in the direction of the extractor radius.The results showed that, the first method is a simple and inexpensive, honey combs don't broken and providing twice the time, the honeycomb head should be placed beside the moving axis of the basket, so do not break the combs while the second method which is easy to jaw and installation and have double number of baskets. The third method, the extractor is very light, it provides four times comparing with the extractor have moving baskets, and all combs were intact and unbroken.
