Oil fired steam boiler used in bee honey processing

A steam boiler fire oil is a vessel where steam is generated. Water is heated at a pressure above that of the atmosphere by the application of heat to be used for bee honey processing. A steam boiler has many uses appropriate to honey processing operations; particularly in beeswax handling. The application of steam can facilitate uncapping, rendering pure beeswax, injection to water jackets to heat honey lines, which will speed up the extracting process. Steam can also be used to sterilize plant equipment.

The use of Steam in the processing of honey includes the following steps:
1. Uncapping of honeycomb frames
2. Extraction of honeycomb frames at higher than room temperature.
3. Honey filtration for removing wax, foreign particles after heating honey to 45 degree C.
4. Separation, handling and rendering of beeswax.

An industrial oil fired steam boiler will produce the most efficient and effective form of heat to run a reducer. Beeswax has a melting point of 65 degrees. At 5psi steam will provide heat of around 108 degrees C. allowing your reducer to do the job it was designed to do. Because steam is produced under pressure it has extra heat to do more work. As the pressure rises so does the heat.

Best choice of oil fired steam boiler for honey making

This can depend on a number of variables, size of operation, mobile or permanent extraction plant and available energy source. Energy source could be: gas, diesel, oil.

There are two basic boiler designs
1. Fire tube boilers
2. Water tube Boilers

Oil fired steam boiler as a fast assembling water tube boiler, the heat is directed around metal tubes, which contain the water. Water tube boilers have the ability to generate more units of steam per hour but also provide less water storage than fire tube configurations. They are requiring more maintenance and monerting. It is more critical to treat the water used in the boiler to prevent scale build up on the inside of tubes. This will reduce heat transfer to water and can create hotspots in tubes causing boiler failure, which could better be used for honey industry.
