Honey Filtering

Lyson offers a range of equipment for honey filtration, including filters, sieves, and pumps. The honey filter and honey sieve are designed to effectively filter honey, while the barrel pump and filter is suitable for filtering honey as it comes from an extracting line or holding tank. The equipment is made of food-safe and stainless steel and is designed to be effective and maintenance-free.

Lyson Beekeeping Supplies is the Australian distributor of Lyson honey processing equipment, offering a variety of products for honey processing, including bottling tanks, pumps, and capping extruders. The partnership with Lyson has resulted in the development of equipment tailored to the Australian market’s needs.

Filtering honey has several benefits, including removing debris such as insect parts and wax, making the honey appear clear and more appealing to customers, and ensuring that the final product is free from impurities.

However, it’s important to note that many filtering techniques can accidentally remove pollen from the honey, which is a concern for some beekeepers and consumers.

While some argue that the increased pollen levels in raw honey make it better, the presence or absence of pollen in honey does not affect its food safety or quality.

Filtered honey has a consistent and semi-crystal-clear look, which is preferred by many consumers. Additionally, filtering honey can help in removing beeswax, propolis, and other impurities, resulting in a cleaner product.

It’s also possible to filter honey without heating it by using a bottling container and letting the honey settle for a couple of weeks before bottling off the bottom.
