No reversing is necessary but the extractor must be started slowly and operated for at least 20 minutes to prevent comb damage and remove the honey completely. After the honey is extracted, it contains air bubbles and bits of wax. Most of these can be removed by a system of bafifles and screen

No reversing is necessary but the extractor must be started slowly and operated for at least 20 minutes to prevent comb damage and remove the honey completely. After the honey is extracted, it contains air bubbles and bits of wax. Most of these can be removed by a system of bafifles and screens in a honey sump into which the honey flows from the extractor. They will also rise to the top of warm honey in a can or tank. The resulting foam can be skimmed off after one or more days depending on the tempera- ture of the lioney and the tank size. It is important to remove the wax before final heating and straining. Otherwise it may change the flavor and appearance of the final product. Honey packers generally prefer honey that has been only warmed and coarsely strained or settled. For final packing, honey is heated to 145° for 30 minutes and strained through 90-mesh strainer cloth. The heat liquefies any granules present and thereby retards granulation. It also kills yeasts that can ferment honey, usually after it has granulated. After the jars and cans are filled they should be allowed to cool before being stacked. Commercial honey processors use flash heating and rapid cooling to further prevent. i nsnii II.
