Stainless steel honey honey tank 30 kg with tap, lid and handles

The honey honey tank sits between the extractor and the jar — it is where the honey settles, releases trapped air and ends up clean and ready to bottle.

Settling: the step that turns cloudy honey into clear honey

Fill the honey tank with the freshly extracted honey and let it rest 3 to 7 days depending on viscosity. Runny honeys (acacia, spring multiflower) settle in 3 days; thick honeys (heather, eucalyptus, holm oak) need 5-7 days at warm room temperature. Wax, foam and microparticles float to the top; the heavier impurities sink to the bottom. A pass with a skimmer removes the surface layer before bottling through the bottom tap, and the honey reaches the jar with proper retail appearance with no further fine filtering.

Food-grade stainless steel with no odour transfer

Unlike plastic honey tanks, stainless steel does not absorb odours between harvests — eucalyptus, heather and rosemary can run through the same vessel without flavour cross-contamination. It does not react to honey's natural acidity (pH 3.5 to 4.5) and does not cloud over the years. It accepts cleaning with water at 60-80 °C without warping, where plastic softens. Meets European food contact regulations with no restrictions. Practical lifespan: indefinite with minimal care.

Lid with 3 latches, folding handles and nº 40 tap

Flat stainless lid with central knob, secured to the body by 3 lever-action latches around the rim — airtight closure against dust, insects and wax moth during settling and storage. The 3 folding handles with plastic grip sit flush against the body when not in use (no bulk in the wash area) and unfold to lift the honey tank when loaded — a full honey tank is around 37 kg, manageable between two people. Guillotine-type nº 40 tap fitted at the base — one stroke opens or closes full flow with no drip, ideal for filling 250 g to 1 kg jars without pauses.
