Testimonials

I’m very impressed with the quality of all the items I have purchased from Maxant. The MUTT and the 20 frame extractor compliment each other. While one batch is in the extractor the next one is being uncapped and stored in the MUTT. I like the simplicity of the clutch in the 20 frame extractor. A leather washer is inexpensive when it’s time to replace, as compared to an electronic control when it fails. The Spinner Junior recovers the honey from the cappings. The bottling tank with the no drip valve will spoil you. It works much better than a 5 gallon pail with a gate valve. If you take care of your stainless steel Maxant equipment, it will maintain its value. The wax melting tank model 3900 WPT works great to render wax out of old comb especially with the slum press accessory. I add water to the top of the higher valve then heat and add enough old comb to get about 2 inches from the top. Heat until hot then use the slum press to push all the slum below the two valve ports. Open the lower valve and drain off enough liquid to see wax. Then close the bottom valve and open the top valve and drain into a different pail. You will end up with 3 wax blocks 1 in the pail from the lower valve, 1 from the upper valve and one in the wax melter. Typically I get over 10 pounds of wax. DO NOT THROW AWAY OLD COMB! I melt the wax again and filter thru a 1 micron filter to remove impurities.

We’ve been using Maxant equipment for years, and it continues to be the backbone of our operation. From the extracting tools to the creaming machine and bottling tanks, every piece is clearly built for durability, performance, and ease of use.
What really makes the difference, though, is their customer service—always helpful, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure we get what we need. It’s rare to find a company that stands behind their products like this.
We’re proud to support American-made manufacturing, and with Maxant, it’s more than just equipment—it’s a partnership that will carry us forward as we grow.

Mr Mello is a great person to do business with and answers questions immediately, even off hrs.
Needed help with Honey Pump and a wax melter Element and he helped quickly. Both working now. Had an older 1400 S# 200 that needed a leather clutch. Once again he helped me.
Maxant definitely has some robust equipment and I enjoy using each piece!
USA Made and it all will outlast me.

Purchased an extractor and a bottling tank, both have done the job and held up very well. Well built and excellent craftsmanship.

We have met Bill and Summer at a few different honeybee conferences. They are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We LOVE the fact that their products are made in the USA and they are a family company! Plus the quality of their products is off the charts! We bought a 6 frame extractor 2 years ago that is perfect for my small apiary and we just purchased a mobile uncapping tank. We are very happy customers and will buy Maxant again!

This company is amazing. The products they offer are outstanding. I have purchased a number of Maxant products and have never been disappointed.

Had an issue with my extractor and received an answer within the hour of sending an email inquiry on the weekend! Everything fixed within days. This is a gorgeous extractor, mechanically just exquisite. Brass bushings, solid materials. Thanks to Bill Mello, who earned this 5 star review, and to the Maxant engineers, who designed this incredible assembly!

Purchased a product new from a third party, had some questions and concerns about the product so called this manufacturer, Maxant Industries. They got back to me in less than 24 hours, gave me an exact explanation, and offered to replace any parts necessary, shipping included for free. Bill’s customer service was impeccable, the product itself is exactly what I need. Happy to work with them and hope to continue to in the future.

Products are top of the line and I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase anything they make. This will definitely be the only place I shop, and recommend, for honey extractors etc. Thank you!

Maxant produces the highest quality honey processing equipment money can buy. They are extremely informative and helpful in the purchasing process.

I’ve had a 6-frame Maxant extractor for 39 years. It came as a hand crank extractor but I added a motor and a heated blanket around the tank. It’s worked flawlessly all these years. We bought it directly from their old factory in Ayer. The people there gave us a tour of their operation. Wonderful folks and a great product.
