1725 RPM is the proper RPM for cream honey in my opinion on the tank you are
using. A half horse motor of higher RPM turns the product too fast , would
wear the gears if not properly lubricated and could put air in the creamed
honey and create foam on top.

I am not saying the paddle should turn at 1725 RPM but the motor on the
Kelley tank should turn at 1725 RPM.( 1/4 to 1/3 HP motor). I am not sure
what the final RPM is after reduction on the paddle.
