Vacuum dryer for honey 150 kg
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 honey dryer is suitable for both drying and creaming honey, as it can accommodate both hot and cold coolants in the duplicator of the installation. This versatility allows the vacuum dryer to perform multiple functions for honey production. This model is popular for its capacity, making it suitable for use in both apiaries and small industrial operations.
A vacuum honey dryer, or honey dehydrator, is essential for drying honey that may be more humid in cold or rainy seasons when bees struggle with natural fermentation and drying in the hive. Honey dryers are also used to diversify honey varieties, as they allow for earlier extraction depending on the flowering seasons of honey plants.
Advantages
- Fast and efficient drying: The vacuum drying process prevents the increase of hydroxymethylfurfural, a compound that rises when honey is heated above 40°C. Typically, high temperatures are required for fast and efficient water evaporation, however the vacuum system lowers the boiling point, reducing the heating temperature of honey and preventing it from reaching levels that would increase HMF formation.
- Active heat transfer: The circulating coolant throughout the jacket's height provides consistent, indirect heating, reducing the risk of localized overheating.
- Special mixing device: This device lifts the product in a spiral, creating circulation from the walls to the center, which enhances heat transfer and mixing during the drying process.
- Special bottom valve: Included in the basic version, this valve ensures complete discharge of the product, leaving no blind spots where honey could remain, thus minimizing contamination or mixing of different honey types during processing.
- High productivity: The vacuum drying process achieves a honey drying speed of over 1% per hour.
Basic Version
The basic version includes a vacuum reactor on a supporting structure with a fully opening top hatch, a jacket for the coolant (covering the bottom and walls of the entire working container), thermal insulation, an external decorative casing made out of polished stainless steel, equipped with a special mixing device with a professional industrial motor, a bottom valve, a secondary steam removal and condensation system, and a vacuum generator (ejector for compressed air). For optimal operation, the vacuum system requires a compressed air source with a pressure of 6-10 bar and a source of ice water for the condenser with a temperature of 7-12°C.
Options
- Air compressor
- Hot water source - electric flow heater

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.
- Stainless steel
- Batch mode
- -1 Bar
