The Honey Double Sieve is a two-stage stainless steel filtration unit used at the honey processing stage to remove wax fragments, bee parts, and fine debris from freshly extracted honey in a single pass. By stacking a coarse mesh over a fine mesh, it performs the work of two separate filtration steps simultaneously, saving time during high-volume processing and delivering cleaner honey to the settling tank. It is the standard filtration equipment for commercial honey operations in Kenya.
What Is the Honey Double Sieve?
A honey double sieve consists of two concentric stainless steel mesh bowls ā a coarse outer mesh and a fine inner mesh ā stacked to filter honey in two stages simultaneously as it flows through. It sits over the opening of a Settling Tank or Honey Settling Bucket and receives honey poured directly from a Honey Extractor. The coarse mesh catches wax cappings fragments and large debris; the fine mesh below catches smaller particles. The result is significantly cleaner honey entering the settling tank, which reduces settling time and improves the visual quality of the finished product. For pre-filtering before the double sieve, use in combination with a Honey Conical Sieve.

Who Needs the Honey Double Sieve?
- Commercial Farmers: Beekeepers producing honey for retail or export markets where honey clarity directly affects buyer acceptance and market price.
- CBOs and Cooperatives: Community honey processing groups bottling honey for collective sale who need a consistent filtration standard across all batches.
- County Governments and NGOs: Honey value chain programmes where equipment standardisation ensures consistent product quality across all farmer beneficiaries.
How to Use the Honey Double Sieve
- Position over the settling tank. Place the double sieve securely over the opening of your settling tank or honey bucket before pouring.
- Pour honey from the extractor. Slowly pour extracted honey through the double sieve. The coarse mesh catches large wax pieces; the fine mesh below catches smaller particles.
- Clear the meshes as needed. During high-volume processing, remove the sieve periodically to clear accumulated wax from both meshes before continuing.
- Clean after use. Rinse both mesh layers with warm water immediately after use. Allow to dry fully before storing to prevent bacterial contamination.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a honey conical sieve and a double sieve?
A conical sieve performs an initial coarse filtration pass. A double sieve uses two stacked mesh layers to perform both coarse and fine filtration in a single pass, producing cleaner honey more efficiently. For best results, use the conical sieve first for the initial pour, then the double sieve for fine filtration before the settling tank.
Is the honey double sieve suitable for commercial honey production?
Yes. The Honey Double Sieve is made from food-grade stainless steel and is designed for commercial honey processing. It meets the hygiene standards required for honey intended for retail packaging, institutional sales, and export in Kenya.
