A compressor for separating honey from honeycomb cappings in which two side-by-side endless conveyors converge and form a trough through which cappings are progressively compressed from inlet and to discharge end along the fixed bottom of the trough by means of said conveyors and a short length of auger mounted in the inlet end of the trough. The trough is pivoted about its midpoint to produce an imbalance which stops the compressor when empty. Honey is extruded through louvered openings impressed in the conveyors. The louvers are inwardly directed to drag the cappings along the trough during compression.
