Professional honey tank for up to 50 kg. Triple filtration with coarse and fine vertical filters. Dual valve system. Can also be used as a honey tank before bottling.
Round ApiNord stainless steel settling tank for 50 kg, with two built-in vertical filters — coarse and fine — and two outlet valves, top and bottom.
Here the top valve draws off the dirty part, not the clean one. It is the other way round from an ordinary maturator, and there is a reason.
01 · WHY IT IS REVERSED HERE
In a tank with no filter, honey cleans itself from both ends: the heavy settles and the foam rises. The good honey is in the middle, which is why the tap sits halfway up or at the bottom.
Here the honey enters at the top and passes through two filters before reaching the bottom, so the heavy fraction has already been left behind on the way. All that is still separating is what floats — bubbles and wax flecks — and that is what the top valve is for: you open it to draw that layer off. The bottom one gives clean honey, ready to bottle.
02 · THE THREE STAGES
The first filter holds back cappings and large debris; the second, the light wax particles. The honey descends by gravity, without a pump and without hurry, and the arrangement itself creates three chambers that separate by size.
It is all food-grade stainless steel, with a close-fitting lid, handles and butterfly valves. With no cloth involved, it washes out with hot water and no wax stays trapped in a mesh.
03 · THE 24 HOURS
The filters do their work as the honey falls, but the air that extraction has beaten into it takes time to come out. A day standing before you open the bottom valve leaves the honey noticeably cleaner without repeating anything.
And since it holds 50 kg and doubles as a maturator, you can bottle straight from it: one operation less and one bucket less to scrub.
04 · BEFORE YOU BUY
It filters and settles, but it does not heat: with cold honey you need patience, or warm it first — always below 40 °C.
