Nifty New Honey Stick Filling Machine
Tony Schwager recently contacted FARM SHOW to say he has made major improvements to his Honey Stick Machine, previously featured in FARM SHOW (Vol. 29, No. 5).
  “Bee keepers, maple syrup producers, sauce makers, and others can fill drinking straws with their product for added value, samples, snacks, etc.,” says Schwager, who owns a beekeeping and honey business that sells the honey straw filling system. He and his family make honey sticks in their shop.
  Straws are loaded into a tray that holds 13 straws at a time, and then the operator uses a jig to seal one end of the straws all at once. The straws are then inserted into 36 holes in the perimeter of the machine’s hub.
  Once the hub is loaded to capacity, the operator closes the machine’s lid and installs a specially made funnel in the center of the hub. The machine is turned on at low speed and 140 ml. of honey is poured into the funnel, which is enough to fill all 36 straws. The operator then shuts off the machine and pulls the filled straws out. They are then loaded back into the straw holding tray, and the other ends of the straws are sealed.
  The introductory price is $399.
