🌿 1. Introduction
The Commercial Honey Processing Equipment is designed for industrial-scale honey extraction, filtration, pasteurization, and packaging, providing a complete solution for honey processors. It ensures high yield, purity, stable quality, and extended shelf life while maintaining honey’s natural flavor and nutrients.
This equipment is suitable for:
Honey processing factories
Food and beverage manufacturers using honey as ingredient
Export-oriented honey producers
Central kitchens and functional food producers
By adopting an automated honey processing line, manufacturers can increase efficiency, reduce labor, and ensure product consistency.
⚙️ 2. Working Principle
Honey Extraction 🍯
Honey is extracted from honeycombs using mechanical honey extractors (centrifugal or hydraulic).
Comb debris and wax are separated during extraction.
Filtering & Clarification 🧹
Honey passes through multi-stage filters to remove impurities, wax particles, pollen, and bee residues.
Optional fine mesh or vacuum filtration ensures crystal-free, clear honey.
Pasteurization & Decrystallization 🔥
Honey is heated to 60–70°C to prevent fermentation and improve fluidity.
Controlled heating preserves natural enzymes and nutrients.
Cooling & Storage ❄️
Pasteurized honey is cooled gradually to room temperature.
Stored in stainless steel tanks with agitators to prevent sedimentation.
Filling & Packaging 📦
Honey is automatically filled into jars, bottles, or sachets.
Sealing, labeling, and batch coding ensure traceability and hygiene.
✅ Advantages of this workflow:
High honey recovery rate
Stable quality and consistent taste
Reduced manual labor and contamination risk
Flexible for different container sizes and packaging types
