Honey Pump 900 L/h with Trolley - single phase, fixed speed

01 · WHAT IT MOVES AND WHAT IT DOES NOT

Fluid or warmed honey, not set honey

With liquid or warmed honey between 25 and 30 °C, freshly harvested multifloral, sunflower, orange blossom or eucalyptus, it moves the nominal 900 L/h, which at 1.4 kg per litre is in the order of 1,250 kg/h: a 300 kg drum in a good quarter of an hour. With thick but unset chestnut or heather it copes, more slowly. What it does not do is move set honey or honey below 18-20 °C: the 370 W motor falls short, the current rises and it burns out. Field rule: if the honey does not run by itself when you open the drum tap, warm it first.

02 · FIXED SPEED

When it is enough and when it is not

Plug it in and it pumps: to empty a drum, load a tank or move from vessel to vessel, a single speed is plenty and you save the electronics. Where it falls short is feeding a filler or a jar-filling machine, because there you need to turn the flow down so as not to swamp the hopper or make foam; that is what the twin with a control box and drive (2949) is for, the same pump with regulation.

03 · HOW IT IS LOOKED AFTER

Never dry, and clean at the end

The vanes are rubber and wear: check them once a season and change them when flow drops. The pump must never turn without product, because the vanes rub the housing and burn out in seconds. At the end rinse with warm water and drain it, because honey setting inside blocks the rotor at the next start. And size it generously: a pump working at 30-60 % of its capacity lasts longer and treats honey better than one at its limit.

04 · WHAT IT GOES WITH

The rest of the room’s transfer kit

To empty 300 kg drums or IBC containers from the top, without relying on the tap, there is the submersible (3257). For a room with three-phase power moving hundreds of kilos a day and cappings too, the 1.5 kW flexible impeller with a DN 50 bore (3256). This one is on a wheeled trolley, so it moves from drum to tank and from there to the filler without dismantling anything.

05 · BEFORE YOU BUY

The pump is supplied on its trolley; hoses and fittings come separately.
