Improved honey extraction devices are provided by increasing the number of honeycomb baskets carried by centrifugal honey extraction devices. The desig ns of prior art extractors are altered by either incorporating multi-layer honeycomb basket assemblies into their design or providing additional honeycomb baskets substantially aligned with the honeycomb baskets pre-existing in the prior art designs. The multi-layer honeycomb basket assemblies include a first honeycomb basket having an interior for retaining a honeycomb and at least a second honeycomb basket having an interior for retaining a honeycomb. The second honeycomb basket is substantially aligned with the first honeycomb basket and a gap is provided between the first and second honeycomb baskets. A barrier is positioned between the interior of the first honeycomb basket and the interior of the second honeycomb basket. Additional baskets may also be provided in a similar manner. multi- layer honeycomb basket assemblies may be incorporated into the design of typical tangential extractors, such as non-reversible tangential extractors, reversible tangential extractors, and central-pivot reversing tangential extractors. The present invention provide s the capability for multi-layered baskets to be quickly replaceable to speed the operations of loading and unloading in large size extractors. The present invention also provides a novel semi- tangential extractor design, and may also be applied on semi-radial extractors.
