Accurate Honey heating by means of “Pentagol” pipe system

In the “Reikin Honey”* apiary in Sede Eliezer, a “Pentagol” pipe system has been installed lately.
Its purpose is to heat the honey inside big containers.

The problem is that during processing and packing of the honey an accurate temperature level is required.

On one hand, crystallization of the honey has to be prevented while excessive heat may reduce the quality of the honey.

In the past, we used to heat the honey in an electric oven. This method is problematic due to the difference in temperatures inside the honey, resulting in inaccurate heating process and damage to the honey.

To solve this problem, Azriel Reikin consulted Golan Plastic Products Ltd. and installed “Pentagol” pipe system inside the honey containers.
The hot water flows through the “Pentagol” pipes at an accurate temperature.

The “Pentagol” pipe is a special development of Golan Plastic Products Ltd.
This pipe is specially designed for plastic heat transfer systems and closed loop heating systems.
The “Pentagol” pipe has a unique structure consisting of few Polymeric layers.
The unique structure of the “Pentagol” pipe assures reliable long-term service while providing corrosion protection to the metal parts of the heating system.
 
The pipe’s large outer surface area allows uniform heat transfer into the honey in the container.

With Golan’s Plastic Pipes and fittings the installation of the system is very fast and easy.

The big advantage is absolute temperature control by means of a thermostat in the boiler.

*The Reikin family launched their honey business in Petach Tikva, Israel, in the thirties.
Today their business is located in Sede Eliezer and Moshav Ramot.
The beehives are spread all over the North of the Country.
