Abstract

The invention relates to a motorised apparatus enabling the water content of liquid honey, which is at a temperature of approximately 20 to 25 DEG , to be reduced without heating. It consists of a container (1) in which are placed: - a tank (2) for the liquid honey. - a rotary unit (3) having 25 discs (4), the function of which is to increase the surface area of the honey which is in contact with the air. - a condensation system (5) with a recovery container (6). - a fan built into the condensation system. - a sealed and transparent lid (8) to cover the whole apparatus. The apparatus according to the invention is particularly designed to improve the storage properties of harvested honey, before it is stored. The moisture reduction rate is approximately 2% in 24 hours.

Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine de î'aplcul- ture,et en particulier le secteur de récolte et de conser 'ration du miel. The present invention relates to the field of farming, and in particular to the sector of harvesting and conservation of honey.

Lors du butinage,les abeilles sucent le nectar des fleurs et elles l'introduisent dans une petite anse,le jabot. When foraging, the bees suck the nectar from the flowers and introduce it into a small handle, the crop.

Au retour à la ruche, elles le transmettent aux abeilles préposées au stockage, en le regorgeant et le passant par la ligule tubulaire. When they return to the hive, they pass it on to the bees responsible for storage, filling it up and passing it through the tubular ligule.

Ce passage se produit plusieurs fois parmi les magasinières avant d'arriver aux alvéoles qui doivent contenir le miel. This passage occurs several times among the storekeepers before arriving at the alveoli which must contain the honey.

Le nectar, additionné des sucs émis par l'abeille perd pendant ces échanges,une partie de son humidité. The nectar, added to the juices emitted by the bee loses during these exchanges, part of its humidity.

Lors du stockage dans les alvéoles,les abeilles ventilent pour accélérer l'évaporation de l'eau contenue dans le nectar. During storage in the alveoli, the bees ventilate to accelerate the evaporation of the water contained in the nectar.

De multiples observations aboutissent à la conclusion que le ffi d'eau dans un miel naturellement récolté est de I8 fo
Lorsque ce taux est atteint,les abeilles,normalement operculent les alvéoles pour mettre le miel à l'abri de 1' air et des impuretés.Multiple observations lead to the conclusion that the water ffi in naturally harvested honey is I8 fo
When this level is reached, the bees normally seal the cells to protect the honey from air and impurities.

le miel,avec une humidité de I8 ,se conserve sans problème très longtems,tandis qu'un miel avec humidité supérieure peut fermenter,par un manque de concentration,permet- tant ainsi la multiplication des levures. honey, with a humidity of 18, can be stored for a very long time without problem, while honey with higher humidity can ferment, by a lack of concentration, thus allowing the multiplication of yeasts.

pour des raisons concernant les conditions météorologiques,les miellées abondantes,les récoltes rapides sur des rayons insuffisamment operculés,le miel peut avoir un- taux d'humidité supérieur à I8 fo.  for reasons of meteorological conditions, abundant honey, quick harvests on insufficiently sealed combs, honey can have a humidity level higher than 18%.

D'autre part,certains miels correctement operculés, conservent une humidité supérieure à I8 ,ce qui est néfaste à une bonne conservation. On the other hand, some honeys properly sealed, retain a humidity higher than 18, which is detrimental to good storage.

Pour la bonne qualité d'un miel à commercialiser, afin d'offrir au consommateur un produit impeccable,il est normal et souhaitable de pouvoir contrôler le fo d'humidité et surtout de pouvoir agir sur celui-ci si le taux est supérieur. For the good quality of a honey to be marketed, in order to offer the consumer an impeccable product, it is normal and desirable to be able to control the moisture content and especially to be able to act on it if the rate is higher.

L'appareil,décrit ci-après,objet de I' invention,présente l'avantage de diminuer très sensiblement,sans chauffage,la teneur en eau du miel.  The apparatus, described below, subject of the invention, has the advantage of very significantly reducing, without heating, the water content of the honey.

Il est constitué d'un conteneur sur roulettes(I),dans lequel sont placés:
- Une cuve (2),dans laquelle est stocké le miel liquide.It consists of a container on wheels (I), in which are placed:
- A tank (2), in which the liquid honey is stored.

- Un ensemble tournant(3),à axe horisontal,avec 25 disques
verticaux(4),qui plongent dans le miel jusque l'axe de
rotation.- A rotating assembly (3), with horizontal axis, with 25 discs
vertical (4), which plunge into the honey up to the axis of
rotation.

- Un système de condensation(5) ,avec un récipient de récu
pération (6).- A condensation system (5), with a collection container
peration (6).

Un système de ventilation incorporé dans le bloc de con
densation,qui brasse l'air humide du conteneur(I).A ventilation system incorporated in the con block
densification, which mixes the humid air from the container (I).

- Un couvercle(8) sur le tout,transparent et étanche. - A cover (8) on the whole, transparent and waterproof.

Fonctionnement dans un local à température ambiante:
Le miel liquide,à température d'environ 20 à 250 est versé dans la cuve (2),qui contient environ 300 kilos.Operation in a room at room temperature:
Liquid honey, at a temperature of about 20 to 250 is poured into the tank (2), which contains about 300 kilos.

L'ensemble des disques(3) est mis en mouvement par )'inter- médiaire d'un réducteur(7) ,pour ontenir une vitesse lente. The set of discs (3) is set in motion by) 'intermediate a reduction gear (7), to have a slow speed.

le système réfrigérant du condensateur(5) est mis égale ment en action avec le ventilateur de brassage qui oblige li air chargé d'humidité à passer par le condensateur. the condenser cooling system (5) is also activated with the stirring fan which forces the air charged with humidity to pass through the condenser.

Lorsque les disques(4) tournent, ils se recouvrent d'une fine pellicule de miel qui présente ainsi une surface impor- tante à l'évaporation d'environ 8 M2. When the discs (4) turn, they are covered with a thin film of honey which thus has a large surface area for evaporation of approximately 8 m2.

La température du condensateur, étant inférieure à la température du miel et de l'air ambiant du conteneur(I),il y a donc retenue des vapeurs d'eau qui se condensent en liquide pour terminer dans le bac de récupération(6)
L'air de sortie du condensateur, déchargé d'humidité capte ensuite Humidité du miel recouvrant les disques.The temperature of the condenser, being lower than the temperature of the honey and the ambient air of the container (I), there is therefore retained water vapors which condense into liquid to finish in the recovery tank (6)
The condenser outlet air, discharged of humidity, then captures the humidity of the honey covering the discs.

dans cette technique,il n'y a pas de chauffage du miel ni de L'air ambi2nt,ce qui ne modifie pas et n'altère pas les qualités du miel. in this technique, there is no heating of the honey or of the ambient air, which does not modify or alter the qualities of the honey.

la ventilation étant intérieure,en circuit fermé, il nty à
pas non plus addition d'impuretés ou de poussières sur le miel travaillé.ventilation being interior, in closed circuit, there nty to
also no addition of impurities or dust on the worked honey.

les performances de l'appareil,objet de 1 invention, per
mettent de diminuer la teneur en eau du siel d'environ 2 , en 24 Heures. the performance of the device, object of 1 invention, per
put to decrease the water content of the salt by about 2, in 24 Hours.
