Professional Honey Dehumidifier 300kg LYSON

01 · DRYING

Expose more honey to the airflow

The Ø 620 mm discs turn at 7.2 rpm, continually renewing the honey film. The unit combines a 750 W motor, a 1,200 W heater and filtered airflow of 250 m³/h. Load liquid or semi-liquid honey and observe the level mark inside the tank. Its approximate 215-litre capacity corresponds to the stated 300 kg; litres and kilograms are not interchangeable units.

02 · PERFORMANCE

Measure the batch before ending the cycle

LYSON recommends dehumidifying honey above 18–20% water and states a reduction of up to 2 percentage points in 10–12 hours, for example from 20 to 18%. This reference applies to liquid or semi-fluid honey and should be checked against processing-room conditions. Measure before and after treatment and record temperature and duration.

03 · CONTROL

Manage the honey and the room air

Our working guideline for warming honey is 35–40 °C: monitor the actual honey temperature and keep heating time short. HMF increases with time and temperature, and stronger heating accelerates deterioration. Spain’s general legal HMF limit is 40 mg/kg (RD 1049/2003, with specific exceptions). Drying requires sufficiently dry air. As a reference, Bogdanov gives an equilibrium near 60% relative humidity for clover honey containing 18.3% water: honey at 17–18% can absorb water in a more humid room. Monitor room humidity and use dehumidification when the air prevents you from reaching your target. The optional condenser removes moisture from the process air.

04 · BEFORE YOU BUY

Allow for the complete batch cycle

Allow for 1,800 × 1,030 × 1,270 mm, a 230 V supply, loading, unloading and cleaning. Select the matching fitting for the 6/4″ outlet when connecting a hose or pump. Include emptying and cleaning in daily batch planning. As a practical storage target, aim for moisture below 18%. In Spain, Royal Decree 1049/2003 sets a general maximum of 20%, or 23% for heather honey from Calluna; baker’s honey has separate limits.

⚠ PRECAUTIONS

Drying does not restore honey that has already fermented. Disconnect before cleaning and protect electrical components from water. Once the target moisture is reached, drain into clean containers and close them to prevent moisture uptake.
