Suitable for: receiving/collection containers with an internal diameter of 30.6–30.8 cm. Recommended: Logar filling containers Ø 30.7 cm (35, 50 kg). (Max. outer diameter of container: approx. 30.5 cm.)

The Honeytherm melting device is designed for liquefying, thawing, fine-filtering, clarifying and filling honey. With the Honeytherm, melezitose honey can be fully liquefied without heat damage so that the honey retains its biological value. The unit is part of Logar's professional honey-processing range and is especially recommended for use together with Logar filling containers.

The Honeytherm consists of:

• clarifying vessel with perforated plate bottom
• heating coil with junction box and capillary thermostat
• fine nylon mesh straining bag — retains even the smallest impurities while allowing pollen to pass (washable, reusable)

Advantages of the Honeytherm

• Perforated bottom and perforated lower shell of the clarifying vessel: no additional spacer ring required, better stability on the receiving container and controlled steam release.
• Water vapor escapes through the perforated shell without condensing back into the honey, enabling a reduction of water content by up to approx. 1%.
• Additional drip edge under the vessel bottom prevents honey from leaking through the holes.
• High-quality, watertight aluminum junction box for the heating coil.
• Use of a straining bag is recommended for filtering; it makes fitting onto the clarifying vessel easier and provides added stability.

Melting and fine-filtering process

Place a suitable receiving container (internal Ø 30.6–30.8 cm) under the Honeytherm. We recommend Logar filling containers with an internal diameter of 30.7 cm (35, 50 kg). Put the straining bag into the clarifying vessel, secure it over the rim and insert the heating coil. Add the honey so that the lower heating coil is completely covered. Only then set the thermostat to approx. 65 °C.

Wait until the honey begins to drip through the perforated bottom of the clarifying vessel. After about 5–10 minutes, reduce the temperature until the control light goes out — this determines the individual melting point. During liquefaction, an operating temperature of about 5–10 °C above the observed melting point is recommended.

Crystals that cause crystallization settle in the straining bag. Steam escapes through the perforated lower part of the clarifying vessel, which can also reduce the water content. The Honeytherm and the straining bag can be easily cleaned with warm water after use.

Liquefying melezitose honey

The Honeytherm can liquefy and clarify melezitose honeys without overheating them — ideal for preparing honey for sale. Melezitose crystals are very fine and require at least 60 °C to melt. Important: melezitose honeys must not be processed with a temperature setting below 60 °C, must not be filtered directly from the extractor through the Honeytherm, and must not be put into the device already pre-liquefied.

Capacity

Approximately 8–16 kg of crystallized honey can be melted and fine-filtered per hour (processing time depends on the type of honey).

Recommended accessories

• Acrylic lid for Honeytherm (Art. 715502)
• Fine sieve for Honeytherm, Melitherm Ø 30 cm, stainless steel (Art. 715503)
• Straining bag for Honeytherm - 47 x 65 cm (Art. 7153)
• Rubber bands for straining bag (Art. 715505): prevent the straining bag from slipping into the container

The Honeytherm is designed so that the melted honey flows directly into the lower receiving container and does not remain on the heating coil to be overheated — preserving the biological value of the honey. As a Logar product, the Honeytherm is optimised for professional honey processing and is particularly suitable in combination with Logar filling solutions.
