Honeyaid® Nassenheider Honey Filling Machine

German-engineered gear pump dosing. From the extraction room to the jar — drip-free, accurate to the gram.

⚙️ Gear pump, not peristaltic — what that means for accuracy

The Honeyaid® uses a positive-displacement gear pump: each rotation moves a fixed volume of honey regardless of viscosity. The same machine handles freshly extracted liquid honey at 22 °C and stiff set honey at 28–30 °C without reconfiguration. Real-world fill accuracy sits at ± 1–2 g per jar via the built-in auto-calibration function — enough to meet legal weight labelling requirements without manual correction. Maximum pump throughput is 600 kg/h; in serial bottling with 500 g jars, practical cadence is around 400 filled jars per hour with manual placement. Add a rotary table and that number rises significantly. The anti-drip retraction function briefly reverses the pump at the end of each dose and seals the nozzle without leaving a thread.

🎛️ Three operating modes — including transfer pump and creamed honey agitator

The LCD membrane panel shows active mode, target weight, real-time calibration and motor speed. Manual mode primes the circuit at the start of each session and handles honey transfer between tanks: pressure is strong enough to fill drums through a bottom outlet with a 5 m head. Auto mode manages serial filling — select the target weight (common sizes are pre-programmed), fill a test jar, weigh it on a calibrated external scale, enter the actual weight and the machine self-corrects for the rest of the batch. Timer mode is the tool for creamed honey production: program alternating forward and reverse pump cycles by setting total cycle time and motor run time. Running 3 to 8 cycles across the day produces a consistently smooth cream without constant supervision.

🧼 Clean-down in 3 minutes and Latch Flange — no screws, no dead zones

All honey-contact parts are certified food-grade: AISI 316L stainless steel, POM and silicone. The design has no dead corners or crevices where honey can accumulate, which makes cleaning straightforward. The pump head disassembles in under 3 minutes and all parts are industrial dishwasher safe without any corrosion risk. Current machines include the Latch Flange: a butterfly-nut system that replaces M6 screws, letting you loosen, rotate and remove the filling elbow for refilling or cleaning in seconds — no lost small parts, no auxiliary injection valves prone to sucking air and contaminating the dose. Use pH-neutral detergents.

🔩 One machine, multiple configurations — real modularity for the bottling room

The same drive unit supports different setups depending on what you need. For inline automation, automatic rotary tables connect directly — the Auto S (Ø 65 cm, up to 45 × 250 g jars) or Auto M (Ø 100 cm, up to 65 × 1-litre jars) — each with a capacitive sensor that detects the jar in position and triggers the fill without any manual input. For small batches, a gravity funnel feeds directly without engaging the pump. For other products: the Propolis Extension Set adds a peristaltic pump head for filling alcohol-based tinctures or mead from 2 ml; the Royal Jelly Extension Set fits a gear head S plus a 5 L conical funnel for dosing into containers of 10–100 g. All are original manufacturer accessories that keep the warranty intact.

🏭 The most complete delivery package on the market — ready to work from day one

The basic equipment includes everything needed without additional accessories: Gear Pump Head L, height-adjustable stand (5–300 mm), two 4 m hose sets for filling and pump/creaming functions, wedge nozzle, conical nozzle, flat nozzle with stop cross, transverse pipe elbow for pump function, check valve, Y-bracket with U-bolt micro switch and 230 V power supply. All engineering and production takes place in Dresden to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 using regional suppliers, with long-term spare parts availability guaranteed. Shaft seals — the most frequently replaced consumable — should be changed every 20,000 kg processed or at least once a year. On the scale: the Honeyaid® has no integrated calibrated scale — a built-in scale loses its legal calibration every time the machine is moved or cleaned. The ± 1–2 g volumetric accuracy covers weight labelling requirements; for food safety inspections a certified external check scale is recommended for spot-checks.
