Filtering of "thick" honeys such as OIL-SEED RAPE can be a time
consuming job.It is of course possible to speed things up by heating but
there is no doubt that this degrades the quality of the honey
 
This only leaves high pressure honey pumps or high speed centrifuge
filters-both very expensive to buy in professional form. Has any one
tried making these units or is it beyond the normal beekeepers
ingenuity. Has any one got details of pressures,speeds which would be
required to get fast filtration?
 
Happy honey hunting.
