Transparent heated honey tank 40kg

01 · THE CEILING IS NOT THE DEVICE'S

Above 40 °C you pay in HMF

HMF rises with heat and with time, and it never comes down. It is measured in the lab and has a legal limit, so honey that has been overheated stops being sellable as what it was.

Working below 40 °C the base keeps the honey fluid without touching the analysis, which is what it is for. Going above that trades quality for convenience, and it is worth knowing you are making the trade.

02 · IT IS NOT A DECRYSTALLISER

150 W will not melt 40 kilos

A 150 W base under 40 kg of set honey takes days and heats unevenly: the layer touching the steel overheats while the rest stays solid.

Its job is to keep fluid honey that already is, or to warm gently so it runs from the tap. To liquefy a crystallised block you need a warming cabinet, not a base plate.

03 · TRANSPARENT HAS A PRICE

Light degrades honey too

Seeing the honey is what makes it useful at a market, a fair or a shop: the customer sees the product and the colour, and that sells better than any label.

The counterpart is that light degrades honey over time. This is a selling and a working-day vessel, not a storage one: whatever is left at the end of the day goes back into something opaque.

04 · THE TAP AND THE HEIGHT

Flush with the bottom, 19 cm clear

The stainless guillotine tap comes out flush with the bottom, so it drains the vessel without the residue left by nozzle taps — and a guillotine does not clog with granulating honey the way a narrow thread does.

The outlet height is 19 cm, enough for a tall jar or a small bucket underneath. Overall it stands 84 cm high with a 30 cm outer diameter.

05 · BEFORE YOU BUY

It is a point-of-sale maturator with support heat: it keeps honey fluid through the day, it does not decrystallise or store it.
