Vacuum

The peculiarity of this unit is the combination of several functions: homogenization and drying of honey. The vertical vacuum dryer allows you to dry honey weighing up to 3300 kg in a short time while preserving its useful properties, color, taste, and organoleptic qualities. The vacuum honey dryer has a number of significant advantages over classic atmospheric honey dryers due to the reduction of processing time and the preservation of its beneficial properties, which is achieved by drying at a lower temperature.

• The drying process occurs much faster due to the evaporation of moisture under vacuum.
• High degree of homogenization of honey due to the operation of a special mixing device.
• The narrow vertical design does not require large production areas while boasting high productivity.

The unique feature of this vacuum honey evaporator model, distinguishing it from a honey dryer, is its ability to create a deep vacuum with a residual pressure of up to 0.08 Bar during processing! This innovative unit not only allows for quick and efficient drying of honey but also enables the immediate evaporation of water, producing a semi-finished product suitable for the subsequent production of «dry honey» or powdered honey.

• There is no need to have a large drying surface – an evaporation mirror.
• There is no need to install a mixing device for thick and viscous products.
• Low evaporation temperature of moisture – water from honey, at which its quality and medicinal properties are not compromised, and the risk of HMF growth is reduced to almost zero.
• Fast and efficient dehydration of honey at a low processing temperature.

A vacuum honey dryer is used to dehydrate (remove moisture from) honey at sub-atmospheric pressure.

• This highly efficient and innovative vacuum drying process guarantees honey drying rates exceeding 1% per hour!
• The dryer allows for quick and gentle drying of honey at temperatures up to 39°C without increasing hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) levels.
• Any heat source (hot water, steam) can be used to supply thermal energy to the dryer's jacket.
• The specially designed mixing device enhances heat transfer within the product, improving its thermal efficiency and significantly reducing drying energy costs.

The vacuum drying oven is ideal for the controlled and rapid drying and heat treatment of heat-sensitive or fragile products, materials and electronic components. Vacuum drying means sensitive samples are not at risk of contamination from suspended solids and the risk of oxidation is significantly reduced.

• Integrated vacuum system with a high vacuum pump
• Built-in vapor removal and condensation system
• Built-in refrigeration machine
• Shelves with built-in heating

A circulation-type vacuum evaporator refers to a combined version of an evaporator that also takes advantage of other types to improve evaporation efficiency particularly by reducing concentration time and when processing heat-sensitive products such as milk.

• The external circulation circuit with heating intensifies the cyclic evaporation process.
• The forced circulation system ensures a decrease in the risk of localized product overheating.
• The condenser enables a deep vacuum and maintains a low evaporation temperature.
• Utilizing a mixing device with a spray system facilitates product evaporation in a thin layer, mimicking a film-type evaporator.

Designed for "cold" vacuum drying of products sensitive to high temperatures, also suitable for liquid and viscous products.

The price is indicated without a source of compressed air - compressor (optional).

This is periodic type of equipment designed for removing moisture and excess water from honey under vacuum conditions. This pilot vacuum dryer can be used for processing small volumes of honey directly at apiaries.

• Drying rate up to 1% per hour! (with a gradual decrease as the concentration increases)
• Large heat transfer area
• Low drying temperature thanks to the vacuum
• Easy operation and maintenance
• External forced circulation circuit for intense evaporation
