Some beekeepers here in Finland have been happy with aquarium air pump that pumps air into a tube that is lowered into honey. Air / honey mixture in lighter than honey and it rises  up and comes easily 2 -3 cm abowe the surface. On the top of the tube there is a horizontal metal plate. The honey flows back to the bucket as a thin layer on this plate. When a air blower is directed to this thin layer it dries the honey. 

The moisture content of the air is quite important when thinking about the efficacy.  Isolated room with little heating and a air drying machine should make the setup quite effective.
