Heating blanket for 50, 100 and 200 kg honey tanks, with a 0 to 99 °C digital controller and a timer. Each size wraps its tank (Ø 31, 39 and 52.5 cm) and closes with buckle straps. The display shows the heating-wire temperature, not the honey's: with the switch-off set at 40 °C, the honey stays below it. According to the manufacturer, it also works on plastic tanks.
Details of Heating blanket for honey tanks
Heating blanket for 50, 100 and 200 kg honey tanks: it softens crystallised honey by heating the tank wall, with a digital controller and a timer.
Each size is made to measure for one honey tank. The controller display shows the temperature of the heating wire, not of the honey, so with the switch-off set at 40 °C, the honey stays below it.
01 · WHICH SIZE DO I NEED?
The one that closes with an overlap around your tank
| 50 kg | 1090 × 410 mm, 650 W blanket, for a Ø 31 cm tank 51 cm high. |
|---|---|
| 100 kg | 1330 × 530 mm, 950 W blanket, for a Ø 39 cm tank 63 cm high. |
| 200 kg | 1760 × 700 mm, 1500 W blanket, for a Ø 52.5 cm tank 80 cm high. |
Each blanket goes all the way round with about 11 cm of overlap and closes with buckle straps, and it is 10 cm shorter than its tank to leave the honey gate clear. With another brand of tank, measure the circumference and the wall height above the honey gate. For example, a Ø 37 cm tank is 116 cm round: the 50 kg blanket does not go all the way round and the 100 kg one does, if there are 53 cm of wall above the honey gate.
02 · HOW TO SET IT
Switch-on, switch-off and timer
The controller works with two values, from 0 to 99 °C: the blanket switches on when the wire drops to the switch-on temperature (“Open”) and switches off when it reaches the switch-off temperature (“Stop”). The switch-on temperature always goes below the switch-off, with the “Heat Up” light on. Set the other way round, “Cool” lights up, the controller switches to cooling mode and the blanket may heat non-stop.
The timer programmes switching on or off, from 1 minute to 24 hours, and the settings are kept: after a power cut, it carries on heating by itself. The full manual, in six languages, can be downloaded below.
03 · LIQUEFY WITHOUT COOKING
40 °C in the honey, stirring now and then
Above 40 °C honey loses aroma and its HMF rises (legal maximum: 40 mg/kg); it is decrystallised at 35-40 °C, slowly. Set the switch-off to 40 °C and the switch-on a few degrees lower. Honey by the wall softens before honey in the centre: stir it with a paddle and measure the centre with a probe thermometer. The display rising and falling between the two values is normal. If the honey reads higher than the switch-off temperature, unplug the blanket: the values are reversed or something is wrong. The blanket also has a safety thermostat that keeps it below 100 °C if the controller fails: it protects the blanket, not the honey. With a faulty sensor, E1 appears and the blanket stops heating.
04 · BEFORE YOU BUY
Choose the size by the tank, not by the kilos you are going to liquefy: what matters is that the blanket closes with an overlap.
| ✓ FITS | Stainless steel tanks and buckets or, according to the manufacturer, plastic ones, if their circumference leaves an overlap. |
| ✕ DOESN'T FIT | 200-litre drums (they have their own blanket) and tanks over 200 kg. |
| ⚠ NOT INCLUDED | Honey tank or probe thermometer. |
⚠ PRECAUTIONS
Watch the process and check the honey with a separate thermometer. Unplug the blanket when you finish: after a power cut it starts heating again by itself. Do not use it on an empty tank, folded, with the heating area overlapping, or covered. Plug it into an earthed socket and work in the dry, indoors.

Do you have any questions about Heating blanket for honey tanks?
Why does the temperature go up and down instead of staying at the set value?
Why does the temperature go up and down instead of staying at the set value?
Because that is how it regulates: the blanket switches on when it drops to the switch-on temperature (“Open”) and switches off when it reaches the switch-off temperature (“Stop”), so the display swings between the two. With the switch-on at 25 °C and the switch-off at 32 °C, the display drops to 25 before heating again. For a narrower swing, bring the two values closer, for example 38 and 40 °C for honey, always with the switch-on below the switch-off and the “Heat Up” light on. The display shows the heating wire: the honey lags behind and stays cooler.
Will the honey crystallise again after liquefying it with the blanket?
Will the honey crystallise again after liquefying it with the blanket?
Yes, in time it crystallises again. The blanket melts the crystals but does not change the honey’s composition, which is what decides whether it crystallises and how fast: honeys rich in glucose, such as sunflower or rapeseed, do it sooner. If you want it smooth and stable, the way is controlled crystallisation (creamed honey) rather than liquefying it again and again, because every heating adds HMF.
The honey doesn’t reach the temperature shown on the blanket. Is that normal?
The honey doesn’t reach the temperature shown on the blanket. Is that normal?
Yes. The display shows the temperature of the heating wire, not of the honey, and honey conducts heat very poorly: the honey against the tank wall warms first and the centre last. With the switch-off at 40 °C the honey stays below that, but it takes a while. To speed it up, stir the honey that has already softened, measure the honey next to the wall with a probe thermometer, without touching the wall, where it gets hottest, and raise the switch-off 5 °C at a time while that honey stays below 40 °C; if it gets close, lower it again. Don’t raise the switch-off without measuring: the honey by the wall would go above 40 °C long before the centre melts.
