Spiral honey heater, 36 cm, to warm honey while filtering. Stainless steel, 230 V, adjustable thermostat 30-80 °C (45-65 °C recommended), approx. 1.8 kg. It sits on the filter support ring over the bucket and suits filters and cones 360 mm in diameter. Gently warms dense or slightly crystallised honey.
A 36 cm spiral heating element that rests on the ring of the filter holder: it warms the honey just as it passes through the cone and keeps the sieve from clogging.
The thermostat scale belongs to the appliance, not to the honey. That it reaches 80 °C does not mean the honey should go anywhere near it: that is the point which decides whether this tool helps you or spoils the batch.
01 · WHERE IT GOES
The set-up is three pieces: the filter holder resting on the bucket, the cone filter inside the holder and the element sitting on the ring. The 36 cm spiral is made for filters and cones of 360 mm.
It is not submerged in a full bucket and it is not left running with honey standing on it: it works on honey that is going through.
02 · THE CEILING IS THE HONEY'S
The control is analogue and runs from 30 to 80 °C. The maker recommends working between 45 and 65 °C, but that describes the appliance: what matters to the honey is how long it spends above roughly 40 °C.
That is where HMF starts to climb — not a nuance of quality but a legal parameter — and where the volatile aromas go. The working rule is the lowest setting: turn it up only until the honey passes, and make sure it passes rather than sits.
03 · HEATHER IS NOT A HEAT PROBLEM
You often read that an element solves dense honeys «such as heather», and that needs qualifying. Calluna heather honey is thixotropic: it turns fluid when it is stirred, not when it is warmed, and anyone trying to filter it with temperature will only punish it.
Where this spiral does win is on honey that is thick because it is cold or starting to crystallise, and on honey that blocks the sieve with fine wax in suspension.
04 · THE KIT
A stainless steel spiral running on 230 V, with an adjustable thermostat on an analogue dial — no separate probe, no programming. It is the budget model of the family, and it is honestly so.
It weighs around 1.8 kg according to the maker's data sheet, so it is handled with one hand and stored on any shelf.
05 · BEFORE YOU BUY
It is a filtering accessory, not a liquefier: the measurement that governs is the 360 mm of the cone.
| ✓ FITS | Filtering through a 360 mm cone with honey that runs thick and blocks the sieve. |
| ✕ DOESN'T FIT | To liquefy a whole bucket: that is a cabinet or a heating belt, with its own control. |
| ⚠ NOT INCLUDED | Neither the cone filter nor the holder that carries it over the bucket. |
| Type | Spiral heating element for filtering honey |
|---|---|
| Diameter | 36 cm — for filters and cones of 360 mm |
| Supply | 230 V |
| Thermostat | Adjustable 30 to 80 °C, analogue dial |
| Maker's setting | 45-65 °C |
| What the honey takes | Above about 40 °C the heat is paid for in HMF |
| Material | Stainless steel |
| Weight | About 1.8 kg per the maker's data sheet |
| Placement | On the ring of the filter holder, with the honey flowing |
