Do you only want the HH:MM:SS of the data?  What are you going to do
with it?  You can 'extract' it with

format(hora, "%H%:%M:%S")

If you don't want the date and are only working with the hours in a
single day, then convert the time to a numeric value of hours (or
minutes), whichever is appropriate.  So an idea of what you are
actually after and how you plan to use it will help guide some advice.
