Solutions
When the Airgineers at Bry-Air were contacted to solve the problem of over heating, they studied the conventional
and current method of drying prior to recommending the solution.
Conventional Method:
The honey is kept inside a drum and continuously stirred. Hot water is circulated through a jacket surrounding the
drum filled with honey. The Honey, thus, was heated indirectly to a temperature of 65 C to bring down the moisture
content to 19% from the existing 25-30%.The problem was that the HMF content goes up to over 40% due to
heating over 35C.
Bry-Air Recommendation:
The Airgineers at Bry-Air recommended that honey be spread on trays to a maximum thickness of 4 inch inside an
enclosed room. Dehumidified air is then circulated inside the room, which is maintained at temperature of 35C.
The temperature being maintained by an airconditioner. This allows reduction of moisture content without raising
the HMF content. It was also suggested to pack the dried honey into the containers inside the dehumidified room,
so that the dried honey does not regain moisture.
