Metal frame wire crimper
In stock
Practical metal frame wire cripmper for easy
tensioning the wire. Correct wiring of the beehive frame requires
and sufficient wire tension. For this purpose, these special beehive plastic crimpers are used
pliers that allow very easy and fast stretching of the wires in frames. The tiller and ripple move the beekeeping wire by a simple movement, making it sufficiently tense.
You can easily fasten the partitions into the corrugated wire.
The crimper will be used especially during the final preparation for sealing
the tensioning of the frame allows the toothed wheels that are at the end of the tongs.
Wire Tensioner and Crimper for Beekeeping Wire: A Reliable Path to Sturdy Frames
Well-prepared frames are a foundation that always pays off in the hive. The wire crimper and crimper for beekeeping wire will help you quickly and precisely tension the wiring, so that subsequent foundation embedding proceeds without unnecessary complications. Thanks to simple work with pliers, you no longer need to deal with loose wires or additional repairs.
How the Tool Works and When It's Useful
Proper wiring requires evenly tensioned wire. However, this can loosen over time due to temperature changes, wood movement, or frame handling. This is exactly when the tensioning pliers with crimping wheels come in handy.
The procedure is simple: place the pliers on the wire and guide them along its length with one smooth pull. The steel toothed wheels gently crimp the wire, which slightly shortens it and immediately tensions it. This gives you stable wiring suitable for foundation embedding (whether you use a transformer or another method).
Practical Advantages in Beekeeping
Crimping doesn't just provide tensioning. Crimped wire has a larger contact surface with the wax, so the foundation holds more firmly in the frame after embedding. This reduces the risk of slipping or deformation at higher temperatures in the hive and during honey extraction.
Recommended procedure: Use the crimper at the end of frame preparation, when the side bars are grooved, assembled, and wired. Place the pliers on the wire, squeeze, and pull along the entire length of the wire as needed.
