Honey Processing Line: Complete Guide to Commercial Honey Production
full automatic honey production line
A Honey Processing Line is a complete set of equipment designed specifically for honey processing. It turns crystallized honey in buckets or bulk raw honey into bottled, bagged, or canned finished products. If you want to turn raw honey from beehives into market-ready products efficiently, a reliable honey processing line is essential.
This guide explains everything you need to know about modern honey production equipment, helping you choose the right solution for your business. If you have any needs, please contact us for a free quote！
Only 2-4 operators needed for the whole line. Semi-automatic or fully automatic options available.
Honey Processing Line Equipment Breakdown

Honey Melting Tank(First Step: Raw Honey Preparation)
Raw honey often crystallizes during storage and becomes thick and solid. The melting tank gently heats crystallized honey to restore its fluid state, so it can be pumped to the next process.
Parameter
Value
Capacity
1000L (holds 4 standard honey barrels)
Heating Power
24kW (two-group control)
Temperature Range
35-50°C (adjustable)
Dimensions
1200×1200×800mm
Weight
100kg
Preheating Tank (Second Step: Prepare for Filtration)
It further heats the melted honey to a constant 40-45°C, which is the optimal temperature for filtration. This reduces honey viscosity significantly, making filtration faster and more effective.
The key process to ensure honey purity. It removes all solid impurities from raw honey, including beeswax, pollen, dead bees, dust, and plant debris. Our system uses multi-stage filtration with adjustable precision, so you can get clear and transparent honey.
This reduces honey moisture from 18-25% (raw honey) to below 18% (national standard), which extends shelf life to 2 years while preserving all natural nutrients and flavor.
Insulated Storage Tank (Fifth Step: Buffer Production)
It temporarily stores processed concentrated honey, balances production rhythm, and ensures stable and continuous feeding to the filling machine. The double-layer insulation design keeps honey at a constant temperature, preventing re-crystallization.

Capacity
200L
Insulation Thickness
50mm
Dimensions
650×650×1700mm
Weight
80kg
Bottle Washing and Drying Machine (Sixth Step: Package Preparation)
It automatically cleans empty glass or plastic bottles with high-pressure water, then dries them completely with hot air. This removes all dust, impurities and microorganisms inside the bottles, meeting strict food safety standards.
Designed specifically for high-viscosity honey, it uses piston or weighing technology to ensure high precision, no dripping and no stringing.
Parameter
Value
Filling Speed
6-14 bottles/minute
Power Supply

Power
1000W
Air Pressure
0.7-0.8MPa
Dimensions
2000×1100×1900mm
Weight
500kg
Automatic Capping Machine (Eighth Step: Seal Bottles)
It can adapt to different sizes of screw caps, with adjustable tightening force. This ensures each bottle is sealed tightly, preventing honey leakage and oxidation during storage and transportation.
It uses electromagnetic induction to melt aluminum foil onto the bottle mouth, creating a completely airtight seal. This effectively prevents honey from absorbing moisture, oxidizing, and being contaminated by microorganisms, further extending shelf life.
It can handle single-label and double-label applications for round bottles, with fast speed and high accuracy. Labels are applied smoothly without wrinkles.
Prints production date, shelf life, batch number, and other traceable information on bottle bodies or labels. The printing is clear and durable, and the content can be easily adjusted.
Parameter

Power
50W
Dimensions
110×40×230mm
Weight
50kg
Shrink Wrap Machine (Twelfth Step: Final Packaging)
The final packaging step. Wraps bottles or boxes with shrink film, which tightly shrinks when heated. Protects against dust, moisture, and improves appearance.
Advantages of Our Full-Automatic Honey Production Line

Easy Operation and Maintenance The system is designed for simple operation with a user-friendly control panel. Daily cleaning and maintenance are quick and convenient.
FAQ
What if the capacity in the parameter tables doesn’t match my needs?
We support custom sizes. For example, the holding tank can be made as 1000L, the concentration unit as 500L per batch. Just tell us your daily output.
Honey is very viscous – will the pump clog?
We use rotor pumps specifically designed for high-viscosity materials. Also, heating improves honey’s fluidity before pumping.
Do you provide process guidance?
Yes. We recommend temperature, time, vacuum level, and other parameters based on your product type.
