Honey Processing Plant

Honey often gets contaminated with bee wax, dust and atmospheric material. Honey is a perishable product, in the sense that its quality deteriorates as it is a biological product. Fermentation occurs in honey under certain conditions due to presence of yeast and moisture, which spoils the honey. Hygienic precautions therefore are necessary while handling honey from time to time right from the stage it is extracted. Honey has a tendency to absorb moisture if kept open to atmosphere. It becomes a moral obligation to supply honey in natural form as far as possible.

Honey Processing Plant It is therefore necessary to process honey by removing foreign particles, destroy yeast and removing / reducing extra moisture to desired level to prevent fermentation, so that it could be acceptable to ever conscious customer in local and export market.

Star Make Honey Processing Plant confirms to international standards recommended by European Regional Standards under joint FAO / WHO food standards programme through Codex Alimentarius Commission and Standards Confirming Agmark.

Honey Processing Plant is designed in such a way that nowhere the honey is heated more than 45⁰c for about 15 min and 63⁰c to 65⁰c for about 1 min to 2 min. Due to very short heating time the HMF (Hydro Mithyal Perfural) does not change more than 0.5% to 1.0%

The Govt of India has given first importance to the development of honey bees as it helps in improving Crop Productivity and soft-loan is made available through Bee Keeping Development Board under Ministry of Agriculture Government of India.

PHYSICAL CONSTANTS OF HONEY.

1. Sp. Gravity at 20°C 1.35-1.45

2. Water % 16 – 25

3. Viscosity (Poise) 20°C 15 – 50

4. Calorific value 3 k. cal /10a00 g.

5. Surface tension 47 - 60 dynes/cm

Honey Plants are of Two Types:-

1. Honey Processing Plant Without Moisture Reduction Arrangement

Normally apiary honey needs heating, filtering and cooling arrangements; as such the machinery is made accordingly. Following equipment are supplied.

1. Pre heating tank with Stainless Steel. 304 tank.
2. Filter press with Stainless Steel. gear pump.
3. Vessel with Stainless Steel. Coil and heaters with thermostats for heating.
4. Vessel with Stainless Steel. Coil for cooling.
5. Stainless Steel. Storage Tank with level indicator

All parts coming in contact with honey are of Stainless Steel. 304 food grade material.

2.Honey Processing Plant With Moisture Reduction Arrangement

For forest / coast line honey in which extraneous matter is high and also moisture content is to the tune of 18% to 26% the moisture contents needs to be brought down. Forest Honey Processing Plant are more complicated and sophisticated equipment are required
