The Honey Strainer (Conical Mesh Filter) is a stainless steel filtration tool used to remove wax particles, foam, bee parts, and extraction debris from freshly extracted honey before it enters the settling tank or is transferred to packing containers. It is a standard component of the commercial honey processing line in Kenya, used between the honey extractor and the settling tank as the first stage of honey clarification.
What Is the Honey Strainer / Conical Mesh Filter?
After honey is spun out of frames in a honey extractor, it contains fine wax particles, air bubbles, propolis fragments, and occasional bee body parts. Before the honey can be settled, packaged, or sold, it must be filtered. The conical mesh strainer sits over the inlet of a Settling Tank or a collection bucket. As honey flows through the mesh, debris is captured while the liquid honey passes through and collects below. The conical shape concentrates filtered material at the tip, making it easy to remove and clean between batches. For a two-stage filtration process, it is used alongside a Honey Double Sieve ā the strainer removes large particles and the double sieve provides fine filtration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a honey strainer and a honey double sieve?
A honey strainer (conical mesh filter) is typically a single-mesh filter used to remove larger particles ā wax pieces, bee parts, and coarse debris ā quickly as honey flows from the extractor. A honey double sieve uses two stacked mesh sizes to provide coarse and fine filtration simultaneously, producing a cleaner honey suitable for premium retail presentation. For best results, use the strainer first, then the double sieve before the settling tank.
