Honey Creaming and Homogenizing Machine 600 L

01 · CAPACITY

Match batch size to your packing capacity

The manufacturer specifies 600 litres, approximately 840 kg of honey; the conversion varies with density. Consider incoming volume, packing capacity and the duration of each cycle. Observe the agitator's working fill level and avoid drawing air from the surface. When blending honey from several drums, retain the identity of the original batches.

02 · CONTROLLED HEAT

The setting is not the temperature everywhere

The official specification gives a 30–55 °C adjustment range. That range belongs to the machine, not to the honey. For honey to flow and mix, 25–30 °C is enough. To liquefy a crystallised batch, LYSON gives 40 °C for several days, and that is our ceiling: above it HMF rises, and faster the longer it lasts. Use 55 °C only as a short step to make a blocked tank pourable. Before adding the seed honey, bring the base below about 28 °C, the point at which the fine crystals you want to spread start to melt.

03 · CREAMED HONEY

Automatic cycles and suitable batch conditions

The agitator runs at 36 rpm. The C-01 manual describes cycles of 15 minutes stirring and one hour resting. As a processing reference, LTA's creamed honey guide uses 5–10% finely crystallised seed and maturation around 14 °C; seed quantity, duration and texture need adjustment to the batch. LYSON's manual gives 16–18 °C for crystallisation. These are different process guidelines: the heated jacket cannot cool honey to either temperature.

04 · BEFORE YOU BUY

Prepare a three-phase installation

The W200890 is specified with a 400 V three-phase supply, 4 kW motor and C-01 controller. Its tank measures Ø 800 mm (900 with the jacket) and is 1,510 mm high; with the motor, the overall height is 1,800 mm according to the LYSON catalogue. Allow access for loading and cleaning as well. The C-01 controller manual describes the stirrer stopping when the lid is opened, but LYSON does not detail it in its catalogue: ask us to confirm on your order that your unit has it, and check that it works at commissioning.

⚠ PRECAUTIONS

Operate with the lid and guards closed. Stop and disconnect before accessing the agitator or cleaning. Do not force a start in hard honey: prepare its flow according to the manual. Mixing or creaming does not remove moisture or reverse fermentation.
