Refines a 300 kg drum of crystallised honey into soft-set or creamed honey, cold and without heating. The AISI 304 refining auger breaks the crystals down without folding in air, and the 7–17 rpm variable speed matches every honey. A honey-house machine for blending batches or spreading a fine-crystal seed.
Reclaiming a 300 kg drum of crystallised honey without spoiling it is one of the real bottlenecks in any honey house that packs in bulk. Heating to melt the crystals drives up HMF and dulls the aroma; working the drum by hand at that volume simply isn't viable. This machine refines the honey mechanically and cold, right inside the drum: it breaks the coarse crystals down into a fine, spreadable texture, blends different batches or distributes a fine-grained seed evenly — all without folding in air.
The auger works the honey at room temperature, with no heat input at all. That spares you the penalty of decrystallising with a heater: you don't force the HMF up or lose the volatile aromas that heat carries off. The honey is only rearranged mechanically and keeps the structure it goes into the drum with.
The refining auger breaks the large crystals down until they're imperceptible on the palate, turning slowly so it never whips or folds in bubbles: no foam, no white aerated layer. Every part in contact with the honey is food-grade AISI 304 stainless steel, which stands up to honey-house cleaning season after season.
You match the rotation speed to the honey and to the job: slow turns to work in a seed without aerating, a touch faster to move dense honeys. Runs on 230 V, ready for a single-phase honey-house socket.
The same auger covers two jobs: unifying several drums into one consistent commercial profile, or evenly distributing a fine-crystal honey that acts as a seed. Creamed honey is achieved through controlled crystallisation from that seed, not by any additive.
It works straight onto a 300 kg drum: the weight of the gear motor itself drives the auger into the crystallised honey, and you control the descent by releasing the winch little by little. The drum is held by the frame's strap on a wheeled base. This is a fixed honey-house machine — it weighs 300 kg — and ships by pallet freight only.
It turns honey soft-set in 30 min–2 h, but a true fine-crystal creamed honey takes several days of work and is only possible if the honey already starts from a fine enough crystallisation. With a coarse-crystal honey you first have to work in a fine-grained seed: the machine improves the existing structure, it doesn't create it from nothing. If the honey is very cold and a layer clings to the drum wall, a heating jacket with a thermostat set to 25 °C (not included) can be used during the process; it isn't compulsory.
To blend several honeys or work in the seed, run at a moderate speed (10–12 rpm): you get even homogenisation without degrading the texture or aerating the batch.
