I am researching low-cost methods of removing excess water from honey after extraction for small-scale beekeepers in southern India.  The reduction required is from around 23-24% down to around 19%.  I remember seeing a picture of a device using rotating disks in a tank to lift the honey and expose a large surface area so that it could be dried using a dehumidifier, but I have been unable to find a references to it now.
If anyone has any knowledge of this, or other low-cost, low-tech methods then I would be grateful for information.
