FREE 2kg of oxalic acid
This special package gives you everything needed to get your commercial vaporisation setup underway,
while saving compared with purchasing the main components separately.
Fast Treatments with Consistent All-Day Power
The InstantVap Turbo is the fastest and most powerful InstantVap yet,
delivering a 2g dose in approximately 13 seconds.
Commercial beekeepers using the Turbo report that it is around twice as fast as previous
InstantVap models.
A fast vaporiser needs a power source that can keep up. That is why the Turbo has been paired
with the high-capacity 18V 60Ah Battery Pack.
Its 60Ah capacity is roughly equivalent to carrying
four to five large 12–14Ah power-tool batteries.
Why the 60Ah Battery Pack Matters
As an individual power-tool battery begins to run flat, the Turbo can take longer to recover between doses.
Across hundreds or thousands of hives, even a small increase in treatment time can add significantly to the
beekeeper’s total labour cost.
When multiple individual batteries are used, this performance drop-off happens repeatedly — once near the end
of every battery. With the 60Ah Battery Pack, you receive steady, consistent power for much longer, with the
drop-off occurring only once when the large pack finally reaches the end of its charge.
This means fewer interruptions, fewer battery changes and more time spent treating hives.
Designed Around Commercial Beekeeping
For commercial operators, efficiency is about more than the speed of a single dose. It is about how quickly
the team can move through an entire apiary without unnecessary stops, equipment changes or waiting for batteries.
Teams using two Turbos will often place the Battery Pack on the ground rather than wearing the harness.
One Turbo can be positioned beside one pallet and the second beside the next pallet. The operator can then
move between the pallets and work efficiently around the four hives.
If one beekeeper wants to carry and use two separate Turbo setups, a second Battery Pack can be purchased.
Both packs can be placed in a suitable heavy-duty backpack, providing a practical mobile twin-Turbo arrangement.
A Battery Pack for More Than the InstantVap
The 60Ah Battery Pack is available with connections for DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita and AEG power tools.
This makes it a versatile power source for other compatible cordless equipment used around the apiary, workshop or farm.
Potential beekeeping applications include:
Bee blowers when clearing bees from honey supers
Weed eaters and line trimmers around apiary sites
Drills and impact drivers for assembling or repairing hive boxes
Nail guns for hiveware production and field repairs
Saws, grinders, lights and other compatible cordless tools
Appropriate respiratory and eye protection must be worn when vaporising oxalic acid. Respiratory masks are not
included in this package and should be purchased separately if required.
Combine rapid Turbo treatment times with long-lasting, consistent 60Ah power and receive
2kg of oxalic acid FREE.
A complete, specially priced vaporisation package developed for beekeepers who need to treat more hives
in less time.
Actual operating time will vary depending on dose size, workload, tool power draw and operating conditions.
Always follow the oxalic acid product instructions and use appropriate personal protective equipment.

6 Frame Reversible Extractor
750-0646
Price excludes GST
Regular price
$2,150.00
Save $-2,150.00
This 6 Frame Reversible Extractor is a powerhouse of extraction with a programmable three-phase inverter motor for total control, enabled by a simple speed controller and digital readout. Its 304-grade stainless steel and clear lids are solidly constructed, and it has over 100 settings for flexible operation. An ideal choice for speedy extraction with reliable, consistent results.
A simple speed controller with a digital readout of revolutions and with forward/reverse buttons, gives you accurate control on the extraction and keeps it consistent. Read outs on the voltage, amps and hertz are also available.
The inverter motor is three phase with the the control unit converting the single phase input to three phase in order to have full control of the motor. With over 100 settings, the controller is very flexible if needed otherwise it operates as a simple straight forward extractor.
Ensure honey in the frames is warm enough. Straight off the hive is usually okay if the weather is not too cold and the bees have been brushed or blown off the frames. Otherwise, leave in a small warm room at around 28 degrees C for 48 hours.
Clean equipment before use.
Uncap frames as shown in video.
Use frames of similar weight on opposite sides to reduce vibrations.
Run extractor at about half speed to get half the honey out of the first side. If the frames have wax foundation and you go too fast, the weight of the honey on opposite side will damage the comb.
Turn frames around and spin honey from other side. Depending on honey type and temperature, one pass may be enough on second side or it may need to be done with 2 passes. 2nd pass can be faster than the first.
Shift frames back to first side and extract remaining honey with a slightly faster speed.
Let the honey flow out of the extractor through a stainless steel double strainer and into food grade honey pails with honey gates at the bottom.
Leave the honey pail in warm place for 2 days to allow any wax residues and air bubbles to go to the top.
Then you can decant beautiful pure honey out of the honey gate at the bottom into polyjars, or similar.
The wax cappings can be left to drain over a grid like a stainless steel queen excluder. (Leave in a warm place to allow maximum honey to drain from the wax.)
The drained honey can be poured through a honey strainer. (Repeat steps 9 – 11.)

InstantVap Turbo + 60Ah Battery Package
A package option is available for customers who want the InstantVap Turbo and the 60Ah Battery Pack together.
Watch Nic’s feedback on using the 60Ah Battery Pack and InstantVap Turbo in a commercial beekeeping operation.
More consistent power means lower labour costs
One of the biggest advantages for InstantVap Turbo users is the reduction in performance drop-off. As an individual power-tool battery begins to run flat, the Turbo’s heat-recovery and dosing time can gradually increase.
That may only add a small amount of time to each hive, but across hundreds or thousands of hives, those extra seconds quickly become a meaningful labour cost.
When several individual batteries are used throughout the day, this slowing-down period happens repeatedly — once near the end of every battery. With the 60Ah Battery Pack, you receive steady, consistent power for much longer, with the drop-off occurring only once when the large battery finally reaches the end of its charge.
The 60Ah capacity is roughly equivalent to carrying 12–14 6Ah power-tool batteries, depending on the battery being compared. Instead of stopping throughout the day to swap batteries, the operator can keep moving efficiently through the hives.
Designed for commercial InstantVap Turbo use
The 60Ah Battery Pack is an excellent match for the InstantVap Turbo, helping commercial operators take full advantage of its fast dosing capability throughout the working day.
It provides a steady power source without tying the operator to a vehicle, generator or mains power supply.
Commercial teams using two Turbos will often place the Battery Pack on the ground rather than wearing the harness.
One Turbo can be positioned beside one pallet and the second beside the next pallet. The beekeeper can then move between the two pallets and work efficiently around the four hives without continually carrying or repositioning the equipment.
For an operator wanting to carry and run two separate Turbo setups, a second Battery Pack can be purchased. Both packs can be placed inside a suitable heavy-duty backpack sourced from a general outdoor or equipment store, creating a practical twin-Turbo mobile setup.
Not just for beekeeping treatments
This is much more than a dedicated InstantVap battery. With connection options for four of the most widely used cordless tool systems, it can become a practical all-day power source for a wide range of equipment used in an apiary, workshop, orchard, farm or contracting business.
Commercial beekeepers may also use it to power compatible cordless tools such as:
Bee blowers when removing bees from honey supers
Weed eaters and line trimmers for clearing vegetation around apiaries
Impact drivers and drills for assembling and repairing hive boxes
Nail guns for hiveware production and field repairs
Saws, grinders, lights and other cordless equipment used throughout the working day
The potential uses are extensive. For anyone regularly working through multiple power-tool batteries, the 60Ah Battery Pack can reduce battery changes, simplify charging and help keep tools operating consistently for longer.

V-Gate Division Board

Price excludes GST
Regular price
$19.80
Save $-19.80
Top Quality Division Board assembled in NZ — designed for splitting, merging, upper entrances, and optional V-Gate vaporization access.
This NZ-assembled division board is built with a strong wooden rim and durable plywood board. It can be used as a division board, merge board or hive mat depending on your hive management setup.
Use to separate hive sections or provide a dedicated upper entrance when required. Choose from dipped or undipped, front entry, side entry, no V-Gate, front V-Gate or side V-Gate options.
V-Gate option — vaporizing application made easy
The optional V-Gate Vaporizing port is a dedicated access point built into the division board rim for easier, cleaner and more consistent oxalic acid vaporizing application.
Instead of pushing a vaporizer through timber or using temporary access points, the V-Gate uses a metal-on-metal plate design to help reduce wear, maintain better nozzle alignment and make repeat treatments faster and more reliable.
Dedicated vaporizing port A purpose-built access point for vaporizing directly into the hive without altering the brood box.
Better vaporizing placement Applies vaporizing into the empty cavity above the brood nest, helping achieve excellent coverage through the brood nest.
Ideal with ventilated floors Vapour enters from above the colony rather than escaping out through bottom vents.
Metal-on-metal design Helps reduce wear from repeated vaporizer use and avoids oval timber entry points that can affect nozzle alignment.
Helps prevent nozzle chill Reduces the cooling effect caused by cold, wet wood, helping prevent blockages and allowing more applications before cleaning is required.
Front or side access Choose the V-Gate position that best suits your hive setup and treatment workflow.
