The Honey Conical Sieve is a stainless steel filtration funnel used to strain freshly extracted honey as it is transferred from an extractor to a settling tank or storage bucket. It removes wax cappings fragments, bee parts, and coarse debris in the first filtration pass, reducing the settling time required in the tank and improving the clarity of the finished honey. It is an affordable and essential piece of honey processing equipment for any commercial beekeeping operation in Kenya.
What Is the Honey Conical Sieve?
A honey conical sieve is a funnel-shaped strainer placed over a Settling Tank or Honey Settling Bucket to filter honey as it is poured from a Honey Extractor. The conical shape funnels honey through a fine mesh screen while concentrating wax and debris at the narrow tip, making it easy to remove the collected waste without disturbing the filtered honey below. For finer filtration, it can be used alongside or followed by a Honey Double Sieve for a two-stage filtering process.

Who Needs the Honey Conical Sieve?
- Commercial Farmers: Any beekeeper transferring honey from an extractor to a settling tank or packaging container benefits from the conical sieve to remove wax and debris in the first pass.
- CBOs and Cooperatives: Community honey processing groups producing honey for retail or cooperative markets where visual clarity is important for buyer acceptance.
- New Beekeepers: An affordable entry point into proper honey processing hygiene. The conical sieve is one of the lowest-cost steps that most improves honey presentation quality.
How to Use the Honey Conical Sieve
- Position the sieve. Place the conical sieve over your settling tank or honey bucket opening, ensuring it sits securely at the rim.
- Pour extracted honey through the sieve. Slowly pour honey from the extractor drum or collection bucket through the sieve. Honey passes through the mesh; wax and debris collect at the tip.
- Remove collected debris. When the sieve becomes loaded with wax fragments, lift it out and scrape collected debris into a separate wax container for processing.
- Rinse after use. Rinse the sieve with warm water immediately after use. Allow to dry fully before storing. Avoid soaking in honey for extended periods as this makes cleaning harder.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a conical sieve and a double sieve?
A conical sieve performs the initial coarse filtration pass, removing larger wax fragments and debris. A double sieve uses two mesh layers for finer filtration, catching smaller particles that pass through the conical sieve. For the cleanest possible honey, use both in sequence: conical sieve first, then double sieve for the fine filter pass.
Is the honey conical sieve food-grade safe?
Yes. The Honey Conical Sieve is made from food-grade stainless steel that is safe for contact with honey intended for human consumption. It is used at commercial honey processing facilities and meets food safety hygiene standards for honey production in Kenya.
