The paper outlines the technique and shows the findings of a multifactorial study. It is connected with the working process of a vibrating unit designed for the non-destructive removal of organic components, mainly beebread, from honeycombs. The honeycombs should be cleaned from the beebread prior to their reheating (in case of their rejection), or for reuse as nest-based honeycomb frames. The aim of the experiment described in the paper is to establish the influence of the main operating parameters of vibration cleaning of honeycombs such as the frequency and amplitude of vibration on the productivity of the workflow. The study was performed on a specially manufactured laboratory unit consisting of a shaking table, controls, measuring devices and sensors. The specific feature of the conducted study is the uneven intensity of beebread extraction from honeycomb cells during the working cycle, which should be considered during the experiment.
