This funnel made of stainless steel has been specifically designed for the Dana 2000+ and Dana 3000 filling machines, offering a practical and efficient solution for filling small honey batches. With a capacity of 20 litres (holding between 20 and 30 kilos of honey, depending on density), it allows for gravity filling, eliminating the need for hoses and significantly reducing setup and filling times.
20-litre stainless steel hopper for the Dana 2000+ and 3000 filling machines. Gravity-fed, with no pump and no hoses.
20 litres of honey is 28 kilos, not 20. Honey weighs 1.4 kg per litre, and that weight has to go up there.
01 · 2000+ AND 3000 ONLY
It fits the Dana 2000+ and Dana 3000 filling machines exclusively. It does not suit the Dana 1000: for that model the hopper is the 10-litre one.
That is the check to make before ordering, because the two versions look alike and the seating diameter is not the same.
02 · GRAVITY FED
Feeding by gravity removes the pump and the hoses, and with them the setting-up and the cleaning between batches. For short runs it is the fastest thing there is.
The trade-off is the loading: 28 kg of honey has to get up there. You do it with a bucket or by pumping from the maturator, not by hoisting a drum.
03 · THE MATERIAL
It is stainless steel, which is what belongs in contact with honey: it does not corrode and it takes hot water without distorting.
At 45 cm across and 44 tall, the mouth is wide enough to empty a bucket in one go without splashing.
04 · BEFORE YOU BUY
Confirm your Dana model: it does not mount on the 1000, and the equivalent hopper for that machine is the 10-litre one.
