It is many small disks that form a roller with sharp edges around the
circumference. The sharp edges punch a hole in every cell
in the frame. After that you can extract it.

The problem for me is that after a few (3-5) frames the
hole roller is filled with wax and not a single egde is
pertruding the surface of the roller and thus it has
stopped working unless you clean it in hot water.
