Abstract

An apparatus for reducing the moisture content of liquid honey includes an enclosed housing with an upper inlet port and lower outlet port. Honey enters the inlet port and flows downward across a series of zig-zagged trays to the outlet port. Expanded metal screens on each tray spread the honey uniformly across the trays. A fan unit circulates air within the housing through an evaporator coil and heater, which dry and warm the air. The warm dry air absorbs moisture from the flowing honey.
