HONEY PROCESSING PLANT II (Model: HPPM) suitable for processing forest or rock honey and honey collected in costal areas wherein foreign particles and moisture contents are very high (24 26%). This plant is more complicated, sophisticated and can reduce moisture up to 7%, consisting of followings:

The technical specification and prices of  plants (Export) are as under:

c)     Cooling the honey to atmospheric temperature and storing in closed vessel for 24-48        hrs. to allow air bubbles to go up and then packed and sealed  immediately.

b)     Honey than heated to 60-65 C for 10-15 minutes for destroying yeast and other bacteria.

a)     Filtration to remove wax, foreign particles after heating honey to 45 C.

The processing of honey is divided into three steps.

Proper temperature control and heating time is most important factor in processing of honey.

Honey contains pollen, the dust and air bubbles, which tend to induce crystallization. The crystallization can be retarded by heating honey to 45 C to dissolve crystals present in honey. Filtration then removes part of pollen, foreign  particles and wax. To prevent fermentation and to destroy yeast, honey is heated to 60-65 C for specific time period.

Honey has a tendency to absorb atmospheric materials i.e. dust, moisture etc. if kept open to atmosphere. Therefore it becomes moral obligation to supply honey in natural form as far as possible and for this it is necessary to process honey for removing foreign particles, destroy yeast and remove/reduce extra wax, moisture and bacteria's to desired level to prevent fermentation, so that it could be acceptable to ever conscious in local and export market.

Honey often gets contaminated with bee-wax, dust and atmospheric materials. Honey is a perishable product in the sense that its quality deteriorates, as it is a biological product. Fermentation occurs in honey under certain circumstances due to presence of yeast which spoil honey. Hygienic precautions, therefore, are necessary while handling honey from time to time right from the stage it is extracted.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

We are submitting herewith brief characteristics, utility and method of processing honey as under:
