The perfect blend of power, precision, and performance — introducing the Maxx21 Honey Extractor!
Replacing our ever-popular Maxx18, the Maxx21 takes everything beekeepers loved about its predecessor and adds even more capacity, refinement, and stability.
Now featuring our new bottom-drive PowerMaxx system, the Maxx21 offers smoother operation, improved balance, and easier access — all while holding up to 12 deep frames or 21 medium/shallow Langstroth frames in a true radial configuration.
Part of our Maxx family of flagship extractors, the Maxx21 is built for serious hobbyists and sideliners who want commercial-grade performance without the cost of a larger machine.
Here’s what sets it apart:
🔹 Proven PowerMaxx Drive System – Our tried-and-true 3-phase PowerMaxx motor and controller deliver smooth, quiet performance with industrial-grade reliability. The same system used across our larger extractors, pumps, and creamer machines.
🔹 Bottom-Drive Design – The motor is now mounted below the tank, lowering the center of gravity for a more stable spin and cleaner overall look. This setup also allows both polycarbonate lids to hinge open, giving you easy access for loading and unloading frames.
🔹 Premium 304 Stainless Steel Construction – 22-gauge, food-grade stainless steel tank and reel — some of the thickest in the industry — built in our new Turkish manufacturing facility known for top-tier quality and consistency.
🔹 EZ-Drain Tank Floor – A HillCo-exclusive sloped tank bottom ensures your honey naturally flows toward the gate — no tipping, no wasted honey. The honey gate sits nearly flush with the tank floor, allowing a clean, complete drain straight into your 5-gallon bucket.
🔹 Legendary 4/10 Warranty –
• 4 years on motor, gearbox, and controller
• 10 years on everything else — tank, reel, legs, lids, bearings, hardware, honey gate, and more.
No fine print, no hassle — we stand behind our machines, period.
🔹 Easy to Clean & Maintain – Just remove two knobs and lift off the top bar and lids to access the reel. Simple, quick disassembly for cleaning and maintenance — no tools required!
Specs:
• Holds 12 deep frames or 21 medium/shallow frames (radial)
• Type 304 stainless steel, 22-gauge tank
• Polycarbonate lids – virtually unbreakable (seriously, we drove a half-track over one)
• 5-gallon bucket clearance under honey gate
• PowerMaxx 3-phase drive with single-phase 110V input
• Smooth, quiet operation with adjustable speed control
Dimensions:
• Tank Diameter - 25"
• Width (at widest point of legs) - 27" and 29" with the controller on the side
• Overall Height - 41"
Built to perform. Engineered to last.
The Maxx21 Honey Extractor is the next evolution of HillCo’s legendary extractor lineup — designed and assembled with care, precision, and good old-fashioned HillCo craftsmanship.

Throughout 14 years of beekeeping I’ve had 5 extractors. This is HANDS DOWN the BEST extractor I have ever worked with. Ever. It spins out so effectively you don’t even have to reverse it and spin the other way. Turn it on full speed for a few minutes, and you’re done. Frames come out empty, the tank is slightly titled so everything flows out of the gate which is right at the base, almost no lip. No more reaching your arms in there and desperately trying to scrape it to the front and up and over a gate lip. It is also SILENT! It is SO QUIET! Usually I have to move a speaker out to my bee shed, but this time I just played off my phone. Finally, it is easy to work with, simple basic instructions, no heavy motor on the top. Add the spring feet and you have NO rocking, swaying, banging….this thing is a dream. I literally already owned a 21 frame extractor and sold it to get this. AMAZING. I am thrilled with this. The warranty is incredible too.
Very impressed with the 21 frame extractor! Very smooth and quick. We’ve extracted over 300 frames without any blow outs. Love the automatic setting.
Just loaded it up a few days ago and wow it worked great. Fast shipping and great product.
Very fine extractor, Its a work horse for sure!
This extractor was a major game changer for operation. We love using the hillco decapper and tank before - as it warms the frames and makes it easy to extract. We love all of our hillco products!
