In a honey house, the final filtering of the honey is often the bottleneck: either you work with open sieves that clog and splash, or you fit an inline pressure filter. This bag filter does the latter in a compact AISI 304 stainless steel body: honey enters under pressure through the side inlet, passes through a polypropylene filter bag held in a perforated stainless basket and leaves clean through the bottom, while the particles stay trapped inside the bag. Quick-opening lid, a pressure gauge to watch for clogging and 1" connections.
AISI 304 stainless steel body with a polished, food-grade finish: a smooth interior that rinses and cleans with no corners for honey to sit in. A Ø 133 mm tube with a 2 mm wall thickness that takes the pressure cycles without distorting. The top lid opens with swing bolts, so you replace the bag in seconds —open, lift out, drop in, close— with no pipework to dismantle and no spanners to find. The legs keep it stable and at working height.
The liquid passes through the bag from the inside out and the debris builds up inside, on a perforated stainless basket that holds the bag against the pressure. As the bag loads up, pressure rises: when the gauge reads 0.2 MPa above the initial working pressure, the bag is saturated and it is time to change it. Because the impurities stay trapped inside and the bag has a handle, you lift it out with the whole load inside, without fouling the already-filtered honey downstream.
The same filter works between 1 and 200 μm depending on the bag you fit: you choose the grade according to what you want to retain. For honey, a coarse bag takes out wax fragments, bits of cappings and process particles without fighting the viscosity. The bag supplied is 105 × 350 mm (size 4) and is a consumable: replace it when it saturates or tears.
⚠️ Mind the fineness if you filter honey for sale. Below around 200 μm you start removing pollen, and fine filtering can affect origin traceability and the legal denomination of the honey. Under the revised EU honey rules (as transposed nationally), "filtered honey" is treated more strictly when the process removes a significant part of the pollen. Choose the bag grade with whether you want to keep the pollen and botanical origin of your honey in mind.
It goes inline after the pump and before the filling machine, as a final filtering of honey that has already settled. It works under pressure, so it needs push: a progressive-cavity (helical) or high-pressure pump to move viscous honey through the bag —the reference flow rates (up to 10 t/h) are with water; with dense honey the throughput is a good deal slower, so do not expect that figure. It withstands up to 1.0 MPa and temperatures of 0–150 °C —that range is the resistance of the stainless body; the PP bag caps the real service temperature at around 80–90 °C, and honey is filtered warm (about 40 °C) in any case—: size the pump so as not to exceed that pressure. Beyond honey, it works just the same for mead, syrups and other food liquids you want to clarify on a continuous basis.
